Uncle Buck

Rating:
Summary: "Who are you?... I'm your Uncle Buck!"
Review: One of Candy's two best roles - the other was in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and both of these John Hughes films have a similar bittersweet tone.The film lacks the more emotionally touching elements of PTA but has plenty of one-liners and slapstick to keep it bubbling along. One funny example - Candy: "I stopped smoking cigarettes. I'm on a five year plan. I go first to cigars, then a pipe, then chewing tobacco, then that nicotine gum." The hostility against the older nieces boyfriend is a bit excessive for the young audience the movie was designed for, but there are many elements they should love - Buck's pancake breakfasts, his steaming car and the modern clothes washing techniques. What works for adults in this film is the casual approach with which clever lines are dispensed - "The dog drinks water?..Good, I've been leaving the toilet seats up." Well-cast, with a nice cameo from "Roseanne's" Laurie Metcalf as the tarty neighbour.

Summary: A movie about relationships.
Review: Buck is an unambitious man who is called upon to babysit his niece and nephews during a family emergency involving his brother. Out of touch with his brother and his brother's family for many years, Buck discovers that his 9-year old niece has become a troubled teenage girl and that she has two siblings whom he has not met. Although he is well liked by the younger niece and nephew, Buck clashes with the teenage girl. Simultaneously, Buck tries to establish a stable life with a woman whom he has been seeing for years. The film's seriousness is complemented by Candy's talent as a comedian.

Summary: Get ready to laugh!
Review: An outstanding, heart warming comedy about family. A movie that you can watch over and over and still enjoy each time. Highly recommended and hysterical - I laugh so hard each time I see this film that my sides hurt!

Rating:
Summary: Hysterical!
Review: Uncle Buck is one of the funniest movies around. Candy's personality is enough to make you laugh even without the jokes. It's been around ten years and were still laughing and watching it all the time. The music suits the movie perfectly. "Don't just stand there, BUST A MOVE"

Summary: You saw the rest but now see the BEST
Review: I'VE NEVER SEEN ACTOR JOHN CANDY ANY FUNNIER THAN IN CHUNCLE BUCK. AS USUAL CANDY PLAYS THE PART MORE AT GREAT BUT OUTSTANDING FROM THE REST. WATCH CANDY DEBATE IF HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH CHEESE OR WHO IS KEEPER OF THE HOUSE! I PROMISE THAT THIS IS NOT A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY.

Summary: Silly and Stupid
Review: Family movies are supposed to be fun. This movie is far from it. I never liked John Candy movies, or what I saw of them. This is the stupidest of them all. With a goofy plot, a stupid script, and horrible acting, this is a movie I wish I missed. True, it has some heart, some wit, but it's all washed away in a garble of trashy scenes, mixed up dialogue, and foolish one-liners. Not only that,the music is horrible. John Candy says something creepy, and suddenly there is this creepy sounding mesh of music--noise--that makes me want to cover my ears. It would be better off with no music--in fact, it would be better off if it didn't exist.
