A short running time and an amiable tone kept Uncle Kent from ever becoming a chore, but aside from one hilariously awkward ménage à trois scene and a poignant final shot, the film was so slight that it almost dared the audience to get anything out of watching.
Uncle Kent 2, directed (for the most part) by Todd Rohal from Mr. Osborne’s script, is a funnier and more imaginative film than its predecessor, but it’s still what you might call a niche proposition.

The big problem throughout Uncle Kent 2 is that while it can offer some amusement, it all feels like an inside joke.

Uncle Kent 2 is an even more rambling ball of nonsense than the original, which at least had its feet planted in reality.
