Summary: Uncle Buck (1989)
Review: This film is one of John Candy's best movies ever made. The film is about this suburban couple go through the daily trouble of raising two little energetic tykes and one spiteful teenage girl until they find out that the grandparents died. However, to make a long story short they turn to the only person they can trust or should I say the only person they could get at such short notice, Uncle Buck (John Candy), to watch their children while they go to the funeral. Sparks fly as you'll be laughing at some of John's antics in this film. With great scenes like when John punches a clown or when he scares the hell out of the teen girl's boyfriend, you'll be laughing histarically. Overall, despite a lot obvious cliches, though, it's still one hell of a funny film to enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Light Hearted Amusement
Review: Uncle Buck succedes as a light hearted comedy. John Candy plays his role well as a manchild trying to babysit is nephew and nieces while his brother and sister in law are away tending an ailing family member. The clash is greatest with teenager Tia and Buck.

Its interesting how Buck tries to guide these children right from wrong yet he fails in many ways to take responsibilities for his own life. Although you cannot take the movie too seriously, the lesson learned is that blood is thicker than water and an adult will go to the ends of the earth to protect a child relative from unsavory activity.

Candy's comedic lines are certainly worth a viewing if nothing else. The man was a talent and its a shame his life was so short.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Buck Russell... Best Uncle EVER!
Review: John Candy has his BEST performance EVER in this film by John Hughes. "Uncle" Buck Russell (Candy) is a perpetual screw-up who HAS to get his act together enough to watch over his older brother's three kids & dog, Tia, Miles, Maisy and puppy, Parsey since his sister-in-law's father had a heart attack.

The cast includes Mac Culkin as Miles, Gaby Hoffman as Maisy, Amy Madigan as Buck's girlfriend, Chanice Kobolowski, & Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne's sister, Jackie) as the crazy neighbor lady, Marcie Dahlgren-Frost. Also billed in small parts are Anna Chlumsky (My Girl), Patricia Arquette, and Devon Odessa (My So-Called Life).

This film is totally hilarious but also has those wonderful John Candy touching/sentimental moments.

A wonderful family film that can be watched over and over again!

Happy Watching!
