Reviews
"Uncle Charles" has elicited mixed to negative responses from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a low rating of 4.3/10, reflecting widespread disappointment among viewers. Critics from major platforms have noted the film's struggle to balance its comedic and dramatic elements effectively. For example, some reviews point out that despite Eddy Mitchell's charismatic performance, the pacing feels uneven, and the plot lacks sufficient depth to fully engage. While the film's premise and setting were appreciated for their charm, many found the storyline predictable and the character development lacking. Rotten Tomatoes does not feature a critic rating for the movie, indicating limited critical coverage and exposure. Overall, "Uncle Charles" is seen as a modest attempt at family comedy that falls short of leaving a strong impression, appealing mostly to fans of Eddy Mitchell or those interested in French cinema but unlikely to capture a broader audience.
