gitrich Review of Uncle Buck

Uncle Buck (1989)

A sensitive, often touching film that was made for John Candy's talents.

[10/10 · 4 December 1998]

Uncle Buck is a lovable character who, though irresponsible at times, loves his brother's children like his own. He winds up trying to deal with more than he bargained for when he must keep track of his teenage niece who tests the limits while her parents are not at home. It is funny and touching, something Candy does very well. This is a movie worth renting and one that teens and up can really enjoy.
