Oskar Homolka plays Uncle Chris the somewhat wacky Uncle who is related to the main Hanson family of the film. Homolka initially comes into the film as wacky and over the top as possible. He yells all the time, gives over the top expressions and gestures, he is the only cast member from the original play, and it shows. He is almost always too theatrical in his performance, making wide eyed looks, and it never really works too well. His character is suppose to be loud and a little over the top anyways but Homolka went a little too far with the way he handled a lot of his scenes. He was not particularly believable, and his whole demeanor really did not work all too well. He was not terrible his wackiness worked a little bit a times but on a whole it seemed false.
His last scene though seems from a different performance though. He tones down his wackiness and his over the topness for his once last scene. He actually does a good job in his last scene giving a heartfelt scene at the very end. He gives a very tender scene at the end where he gives a very honest performance, that works well for one scene. The one scene, although is well handled does not really make up for his over the topness of the rest of his performance.
