John Candy has one of his finest opportunities in this film by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) about a perpetual screw-up (Candy) who gets his act together enough to watch over his brother's kids effectively. The late actor scores big points resurrecting elements of his more decadent persona from SCTV days, but he also has some persuasively touching, sentimental moments. Hughes's direction is not as focused as it was only a few years before, but there's no mistaking his touch. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, biographies, Dolby sound, optional Spanish and French soundtracks. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - "Take this quarter..Go downtown..And have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!"
"Uncle Buck" was released when I was roughly 11 years old. Since that time, I have probably seen the movie 25-30 times and never get tired of the comedic genious that was John Candy and the fabulous story-teller that is John Hughes. Simply put, this film delivers!
Buck is a bit of a screwup. He has no job, no wife, no kids. But, he enjoys life. He bowls, has a girlfriend of 8 years, loves golf and makes his living on tips he gets on horses. Things are going as usual, until he gets a call from his brother late on night, asking that Buck come over to watch his kids, while him and his wife attend to her sick father. Buck jumps at the opportunity and the hilarity begins.
This is truly one of the best comedies of the 90's, as John Candy simply delivers one of his best performances. The cast also includes a pre "Home Alone" Makauly Caulkin(I have no idea how to spell his name) and the ever great Laurie Metcalf("Roseanne"). I'm not typically a big fan of comedies that have a heavy child prescence, but this one is really funny. John Candy works on screen so well with kids that I'm really amazed. I mean, it's difficult for actors to "time" or get comedic routines to be funny when they are both adults, but when you have to do it with a kid, it's even tougher, yer Caulkin and Candy are GREAT!
This is really a must-watch film if you've never seen it and I'll even say it's a must-buy film; because, you will watch it over and over and over!
