Uncle Nino

Overworked executive Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna) has little time for his loving wife (Anne Archer), rebellious fourteen-year-old son, Bobby, (Trevor Morgan) and twelve-year-old daughter, Gina (Gina Mantegna), who desperately wants a dog. This disconnected family is transformed by long-lost Uncle Nino (Pierrino Mascarino), an old world Italian who unexpectedly arrives on their doorstep for a visit. Nino's simple, old-fashioned ways make him a curiosity to the neighborhood, and an embarrassment to Robert. But, Nino is slowly able to connect with each member of the family, and teach Robert how to enjoy life's simple pleasures: good food, good music, and most important, La Famiglia!
