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.

Reviews for Say Uncle
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.
[Peter] Paige has created an engaging and insightful entertainment with considerably more substance than most small-budget, independent gay films.
The politics of homophobia and child molestation receive a badly misjudged tweaking in Queer As Folk star Peter Paige's writing-directing debut, Say Uncle.
