Uncle Buck

Rating:
Summary: not Candy's best flick but funny in some parts
Review: This movie wasn't exactly what I thought it would be but John Candy did just as good as Spaceballs. It's not as funny as Planes,Trains,& Automobiles but see it at least once.

Summary: A must have in your family movie collection.
Review: This is a movie that would strike terror in the heart of the confirmed bachelor. John Candy thrown into an unlikely baby-sitting assignment, learns responsibility, maturity and that family trappings aren't all that bad in this delightful, heart warming comedy. Loaded with laughs this is a movie the entire family will enjoy. This movie really allows John Candy to demonstrate his broad range of skills as an actor. It's also a reminder that the world has lost a tremendous talent in this man.

Summary: Parents have to leave to vist a dad in Uncle Buck
Review: Uncle Buck stars the late John Candy. When the movie opens Miles Russell (Macaulay Culkin) comes home. His older sister named Tia (Jean Kelly) and 6-years old sister Maizy (Gaby Hoffman) are allready there.

At dinner, Miles's father says to him, "I guess you don't want a hockey stick for your birthday." His name is Bob Russell (Garret M.Brown). His mother's name is Cindy.

That night Cindy (Elaine Bromka) gets a call from her aunt that her father has had a heart attack. So in the kitchen, Bob and Cindy, look in the phone book to see who to ask to baby-sit the kids. At first the next door neighbor (Laurie Metcalf). Then the Nibbles. Probley thier next door neighbors too. Bob suggestes his brother Buck (John Candy).

So Bob calls the Nibbles but they are out of town. So Bob calls Buck and Buck agrees. When Buck shows up, he goes to the wrong house. Bob calls him, but Buck doesn't relize that Bob is calling from behind Buck. Cindy tells Tia and Miles that they are leaving for a while. But Maizy doesn't know. Tia awakes when her parents are leaving.

Buck is on a 5 year plan. He goes to cigars, then a pipe, then chewing tobaacco, and then on to the nicotine gum. In the morning Tea goes downstairs and pours herself coffee. Miles comes donstairs and says "Who Are You?" and Buck says "I'm Your Uncle Buck." Buck entertains the two younger children. But Tia sure doesn't seem to like this. Tia is a teenager. So here is a movie if you are a comedy fan.

Summary: A Master of Comedy
Review: Looking on past movies, I really realize how much of a comic genius John Candy was. This movie really shows it. This movie is the story of Uncle Buck, a bumbling, lazy gambler who is asked to watch his nieces and nephew for a week or so. After he first packs sardines for his newphews lunch, he begins to get the hang of it, but with style. Whether he's making 6 foot pancakes for breakfast or scaring everyone with the backfire on his car, Buck does things in his whole way.

This movie has much of the same type of comedy that you would see in Stripes and Caddyshack. The laughter is nonstop, and it's good for children too because there is nothing vulgar. Built in is a very touching story, but it doesn't come near to overpowering the comic nature of the movie. If you miss the old comedies of people like John Candy, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase, you'll definately like Uncle Buck.

Summary: Uncle Buck
Review: Uncle Buck is a great movie, a comedy which shouldn't be missed. Even if there are some sad moments, they're cheered up with some comedy. Parents: the characters cuss a lot so take caution while your young kids are watching it.

Summary: funny and touching
Review: One of the late great John Candy's best. This is a funny film and in real life there are relatives just like Uncle Buck. This, I think, is Macauly Culkins first feature film. I recommend this.

Summary: A Heart Warmer
Review: Well, hate to say it, but the older you are (in baby boomer years)-the better! This movie is a very sweet look at growing up from different perspectives. It also is my personal favourite from John Candy, who I truly miss. Enjoy!
