About My African Uncle
Dennis O'Sullivan is a 40 year old depressed widower who is wasting his life drinking and watching videos of his dead wife. One day on the computer he meets a shadowy Nigerian named Barrister Albert who informs him that he is inheriting a fortune from a great uncle who has perished in a tragic accident in Africa. When the Barristers Niece shows up in New Jersey to meet Dennis his life is changed more than he could have imagined.
Directed by Steve Kelly, My African Uncle leans on a strong ensemble — Osas Ighodaro, Gina Brenton, Nick Butryn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2006.
