Rating: Summary: Growing Up right. Review: Jean Louisa Kelly did a very good job in this film. Her acting along side John Candy was a pleasure to watch. You can understand why she is the main character in the TV series "YES DEAR".We need more of these films.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good, but not all there Review: A John Hughes film about an uncle who is hired to babysit his brother's kids. But things go wrong when his 15 year old niece hates him and his mean girlfriend wants him to work for her. Uncle Buck is a childish man who wants to remain a boy forever. Set back and watch as the big comedian knocks your socks off in this comedy. This is a good film with a bunch of bad language in it. But it is still for kids. If you are into good comedy. This is the movie for you. You are guaranteed to laugh your head off!
Rating: Summary: Buck is.....well, Buck. Review: John Candy is Uncle Buck. Directed by John Hughes this movie is anything but boring. Buck's sister in law just found out that her father who lives out of town just had a heart attack. Desperately needing a baby sitter for their three young kids, (one of which is Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone), they turn to Buck, a party going guy, who at the age of 40 is still un-employed, un-married and un-knowing in the art of raising children. But "no problem" he thinks...."kids are easy". Wrong, what he finds is a house full of responsibility with a rebellious teen to take care of as well as her younger brother and sister. Meanwhile his girlfriend keeps more pressure on him about the two of them getting married, despite the fact that Buck just doesn't want to settle down. Uncle Buck is a classic comedy thats just plain fun to watch so don't miss it. I give this movie only 4 stars despite its appeal to me due to the fact that I give only movies that overly hilarious from beginning to end a 5 star rating. Uncle Buck though does have a few parts that are without comic relief, but that doesn't stop the story or that particular part of the movie from being entertaining. Its still a great family comedy classic.
Rating: Summary: You wouldn't believe how influential! Review: Ok, by now you know this movie kicks butt, but here's how this movie is responsible for 60% of TV movies; -This movie has a sequence with Macualy Culkin and some intruders which inspired Home ALone which inspires movies today. Weird!
Rating: Summary: Classic John Candy Review: One of Candy's best movies. This is a classic Candy film. Directed by John Hughes, Uncle Buck is touching yet stomach- hurting funny! The story of how an older uncle who is as immature as a man gets becomes a responsible man while caring for his neice and nephew over a week. Women, this your dream come true! Funny and touching, a must see Candy film.
Rating: Summary: So Funny! Review: This movie is Gr8! It stars funny-man John Candy (Uncle Buck)and Its about a teen girl and her 2 younger siblings who have their Uncle Buck who they havent seen in years to come and take care of them while their parents leave town. He makes pancakes, drives a junker and makes sure he ruins the teen's social life!
Rating: Summary: one of the funniest moveis I ever saw Review: This movie is loads of laughs. It relates to Murphy's Law. If something bad can happen it will. Most of Candy's moves are on that bases. This move is about a single Man where singles rules apply. Stuck, doing a favor for his brother. He must watch three children with no experience. Image a batcher never married, taking care of a 13 year old with an attitude, and an 8 year old with lots to ask and a 7 year old. You cannot beat what this movie has. Also, Check out Planes, Trains Automobiles. Murphy's law applies here to. Staring John Candy and Steve Martin. These movies can bring a lot of laughter into the home. I would rate this as PG. Excellent, Best that comedy offers.
Rating: Summary: he may be pathetic, but he's family Review: He may be pathetic, but he's family. Buck Rusell is a laid-back irresponsible bachelor, who's always in between jobs, and in and out of trouble. When his sister and her husband have to leave town for the week to be with an ailing relative, Buck is given the job of looking after their three kids - the adorable Maisy, the inquisitive Miles, and the atagonistic Tia, and as soon as he walks in the door, hilarity ensues. Get ready to laugh every minute as you see Buck Rusell cook, have a parent-teacher conference, deal with the Tia the teenager from hell, and prove to everyone that he's not a complete loser. The plot of this movie is affective, and we can see Tia and Buck develop as the film progresses. This is one of John Hughes's best films, along with Home Alone, and has been tickling funny bones and bring out smiles since it hit theatres in 1989. Although this movie isn't ready for a classics list, it is always fun to watch. This movie never gets tiring because many of its laughs come from physical antics, and not witty dialogue. John Hughes films have always been something special, and are some of the greatest movies of the 1980s and perhaps the entire 20th century. They clearly define the era from 1984-1992, and are still popular in the 21st century. Any John Hughes film is often imitated but never duplicated.
Rating: Summary: Uncle Buck Review: If you're a John Candy fan, you just have to own this video. If you don't, you'll just keep paying for a rental. John Candy is at his best in this one; I could watch it over and over. And the supporting cast is great, too. Candy's comedic timing is perfect in "Uncle Buck." He left us way too soon.
Rating: Summary: One of the best family comedies ever made Review: While I was watching "Uncle Buck," I found out that it was a lot funnier and a lot better than I was expecting it to be. First of all, it has John Candy in it as the main star, so I knew it had a good chance of being hilarious. Not only was it hilarious, it was also a good movie. Buck Russell (John Candy) hasn't ever really been that close to his brother and his family, and he doesn't exactly have the cleanest and richest way of life, but when there's nobody else to turn to, Buck's brother Bob and Bob's wife, just might have to call on Buck to come and babysit their three kids. From there, I'll let you find out the rest on your own, and believe me, it's more than worth it! There was a lot of parts in "Uncle Buck" that had me laughing nonstop, such as the part where Buck speaks to and makes fun of an assistant principal who has a huge wart on her face. Everything else about "Uncle Buck" goes along with the hilarious antics of John Candy to make this a great movie. It has good acting by everybody, the story is interesting, and I have to say it again, it's HILARIOUS!! If you've ever liked any other John Candy movie or if you like comedy movies at all, especially one the whole family can sit down and have a good time watching, then I recommend purchasing "Uncle Buck."
