Synopsis
In this cheerful, lightweight comedy, excruciatingly clumsy, disorganized, and messy Uncle Buck Russell (John Candy) becomes the screens most unlikely babysitter since Clifton Webb in Sitting Pretty. While their parents are away, eight-year old Miles (Macaulay Culkin), six-year old Maizy (Gaby Hoffman) and their teen-aged sister, Tia (Jean Kelly) are left in the care of Buck. Surprisingly, the very inept Uncle Buck entertains the younger children who come to love him and earns the respect of Tia when he rescues her from her worthless boyfriend. However, in doing so, Buck nearly loses his long-time girlfriend Chanice (Amy Madigan). John Candy is delightful in the leading role giving a touching and notable comic performance. Directed by John Hughes in his typical broad style, this youth-oriented comedy is perhaps the best role of John Candy's regrettably brief career. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Good Humor, Good Story
January 18, 2017Who can't appreciate John Candy's talent when it comes to Humor! He, again, portrays a loveable working class character, making the best of whatever happens. Called in to house and babysit for relatives, he tries to balance those demands with his own bacheloresque freewheeling life style. Handling a rebellious teenage niece and her 'in your face' attitude draws him into scenarios involving the 'jerk' she is dating and her retaliation - including 'messing with his romance'. Comedic situations all the way through combined with 'old fashioned family duties' - a good combo for an interesting script!

'Uncle Buck' is a good John Candy film, though not nearly his best. This dvd is mediocre, with not much in terms of bonus features, but well worth the buy for fans of the movie.
