Come to Uncle

About This Movie

Come to Uncle (1950) is this quirky Greek comedy that dives into family dynamics with a light-hearted but thoughtful touch. You’ve got Antonis, this lazy nephew, and his well-meaning uncle Harilaos, who believes that marriage is the answer to all Antonis’ problems. The film delivers a charming mix of misunderstandings and comedic situations, especially with the mix-up from the newspaper ads leading to some pretty funny scenarios. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the humor to unfold naturally. The performances are endearing; you really see that warm familial bond, even amidst the chaos. It’s a nice snapshot of post-war Greek society, wrapped in a comedic package that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still has heart.
