Uncle Buck
Uncle Buck has a reputation for being unreliable and a bit of a house wrecker. It is therefore with reluctance, his sister-in-law agrees to leave Buck looking after the kids - two harmless youngsters and a rebelious teenager when she visits her sick father.

Probably Candy's finest role.

Very cute comedy starring the late great John Candy at his most huggable best.

It's not John Hughes's best film, but it could be his funniest, as well as his saddest.

...an agreeable comedy that benefits substantially from Hughes' undeniable gift for seamlessly blending laughs with drama.

One of the many excellent family films from director and writer John Hughes...

There isn't much to love about the movie besides Candy's excellent performance.

John Candy, John Hughes, precocious kids. Deadly.

The supposedly sweet domestic comedy hits too many sour notes to remain in tune, even if always competent.

Candy in his heyday, but some jokes are dated.
