Mr. Acton reviewed The Guncle by Steven Rowley
The Guncle charms and heals
4 stars
Patrick could have easily turned in to a caricature of a gay white man, but each Guncle Rule pulls out more humanity and connection. The kids were well developed and acted appropriately for young children who are unexpectedly taken in by G.U.P. It’s sweet, sassy, emotional, and uplifting. Sometimes we need to get tossed out of our comfort zones to see what we haven’t lost and what we can gain.
