Laughless, pointless and downright creepy.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

Ask yourself: If you saw an unknown, single man repeatedly approach kids in the park, would you be concerned? If so, you may not find Paul, and his unbalanced Peter Pan complex, quite as charming as Paige does.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten

A comedy about a suspected gay pedophile is something even Mel Brooks might balk at, but Say Uncle would have benefited from his ability to turn bad taste into good feature.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

As written and portrayed by Paige, his protagonist comes across a lot less like an oddball, misunderstood naif than he does an irritatingly self-absorbed loser with some serious boundary issues.

Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten

A movie that made my skin crawl.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
