"Uncle Frank" is one of those movies that is heartfelt, splendidly acted and as predictable as a sunset. It's written and directed by Alan Ball, who won an Oscar for the screenplay for "American Beauty," which was something truly original and even subversive. In "Uncle Frank" he has created something utterly maudlin that wraps itself in a blanket of self-regard.
