highly recommended

John Candy stars in this John Hughes comedy as an idle good-natured bachelor who is left in charge of his nephew and nieces during a family crisis. Unaccustomed to suburban life fun-loving Uncle Buck soon charms his younger relatives Miles and Maizy with his hefty cooking and his new way of doing the laundry. But his carefree style doesnt impress everyone including Tia (Jean Kelly) his rebellious teenage niece and Chanice (Amy Madigan) his impatient girlfriend. Uncle Buck is the last person you would think of to watch the kids. But with a little luck and a lot of love he manages to surprise everyone in this heartwarming family comedy.

Take this quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!

After years of not seeing it, I recently saw this movie on television and was quickly reminded how hilarious it is. This may be my favorite John Candy movie; he delivers just enough laughs, kooky faces, oddball scenarios, and charm to keep a smile on any viewers face the entire movie.

Uncle Buck (Candy) is an irresponsible bachelor, a loveable screw-up who ends up being the last babysitting option for unwilling parents - Buck's brother and sister-in-law - and the end result is comic gold. The three children are sure to be a handful: 15-year-old Tia (Kelly), an angst-ridden, confused teenager; 8-year-old Miles (Culkin), a mischevious yet cute bundle of energy; and 6-year-old Maizy (Hoffman), a precocious youngster who sparkles on screen. Buck has no real family, cooking, or general housekeeping skills, yet his honest attempts while pleasing the three children makes the character very sympathetic.

After winning over the youngsters with his zany antics like making pancakes so massive they have to be flipped with a snow shovel and delivering a verbal beatdown to an evil elementary school Vice Principal (see my title), Buck struggles with not only his attempts to mentor and befriend Tia, but also his slow realization that up to this point in his life, he has been truly devoid of happiness.

The battle between Tia and Buck continues until Buck traumatizes Tia's dirtbag boyfriend with an electric drill, and then beans him with a well-placed shot from a 5-wood.

Eventually, Buck grows up, surprises everyone involved with his behavior, ends up being a great role model, and reestablishing himself as part of his brother's family. This is a funny, heart-warming movie that's perfect for a family viewing. Highly recommended for all.

(For a different take, check out the Uncle Buck horror movie trailer on youtube - brilliant!)

Good old fashioned fun and morals!!

Uncle Buck. John Candy. Family fun and entertainment that doesn't contain profanity with every other word. How fantastic!! Loved it way back when and appreciate it even more now!!

MUSIC FROM THE MOVIE

is the anyone who has a list of the music played in this movie? because i've be unable to locate a soundtrack.

Some of John's best work

Uncle Buck should be considered a classic. This is a very funny film and one that was done without a lot of swearing (not that I mind the occasional use of Colorful Metaphors).
