Featured review
Dutch
When people think of the works of writer/director John Hughes they think of 'Breakfast Club', 'Ferris Bueller' etc, but if you look beyond that you'll find there are some real underappreciated gems, and 'Dutch' is one of them.
It's a real mix of other Hughes films - a bit 'Uncle Buck', a bit 'Planes, Trains...' and with a fair few 'Home Alone' elements thrown in too, but it amounts to a funny, often heart-warming film, that deserved/deserves better acclaim.
Well worth a watch.
