Movie Reviews of Uncle Buck
Movie Review: Another John Candy Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another one of his grand masterpieces. John Candy has one of his finest opportunities in this film by John Hughes about a perpetual screw-up who gets his act together enough to watch over his brother's kids effectively. He does so effectively in this 1989 film, and is considered by me to be one of the funniest movies ever made! Hughes's direction is not as focused as it was only a few years before, but there's no mistaking his touch. I've yet to see a bad Candy movie, They are all outstanding, and Uncle Buck is one of his best. My personal favorite Candy movie is Who's Hharry Crumb? which I also recommend you checking out. Macaulay Culkin is in it, and if you haven't heard, he is acting again. Unfortuneately Candy passed away, and it is ashamed, because he is the only actor in movie history who was never in a bad movie. Buy this now along with Who's Harry Crumb?, you won't regret it!Movie Review: Buck Russell... Best Uncle EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
John Candy has his BEST performance EVER in this film by John Hughes. "Uncle" Buck Russell (Candy) is a perpetual screw-up who HAS to get his act together enough to watch over his older brother's three kids & dog, Tia, Miles, Maisy and puppy, Parsey since his sister-in-law's father had a heart attack. The cast includes Mac Culkin as Miles, Gaby Hoffman as Maisy, Amy Madigan as Buck's girlfriend, Chanice Kobolowski, & Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne's sister, Jackie) as the crazy neighbor lady, Marcie Dahlgren-Frost. Also billed in small parts are Anna Chlumsky (My Girl), Patricia Arquette, and Devon Odessa (My So-Called Life).
This film is totally hilarious but also has those wonderful John Candy touching/sentimental moments.
A wonderful family film that can be watched over and over again!
Happy Watching!
Movie Review: Uncle Buck (1989)
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is one of John Candy's best movies ever made. The film is about this suburban couple go through the daily trouble of raising two little energetic tykes and one spiteful teenage girl until they find out that the grandparents died. However, to make a long story short they turn to the only person they can trust or should I say the only person they could get at such short notice, Uncle Buck (John Candy), to watch their children while they go to the funeral. Sparks fly as you'll be laughing at some of John's antics in this film. With great scenes like when John punches a clown or when he scares the hell out of the teen girl's boyfriend, you'll be laughing histarically. Overall, despite a lot obvious cliches, though, it's still one hell of a funny film to enjoy.Movie Review: Uncle Buck Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Uncle Buck is absolutely hilarious, and no better actor then John Candy to play this role! Uncle Buck is a Slobby, Unorganized, Middle-Aged Man, and is asked by his brother to stay over his house, so he can take care of his 3 kids, while he and his wife are out of town visiting her sick father. Even though Uncle Buck seems like a careless slob, we get to see his paternal side as we see how he actually really cares for each of these children. Best scenes are the ones where he has to look after the oldest child who is a rebellious teenage girl, also starring in this film is a very young Macaluay Culkin and Gaby Hoffman as the 2 younger children. This movie is a classic, and I totally recommend it! Not to mention that it's a John Hughes film.Movie Review: Release a special edition NOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
As with all John Candy movies, I saw UB in the theatre, bought the video, then the laserdisc, then the dvd. Widescreen - sweet. But now it's high time we have a deluxe special edition - deleted scenes, documentary, "Remembering John" featurettes, outtakes........ Wait.....but this is Universal, right? Ah, well, I guess we're supposed to be grateful they bothered to put this on dvd at all! They're too busy releasing anniversary editions of the Blues Brothers every 5 years! It's depressing enough that the Candyman has been dead for over a decade, and the other John - Hughes - seems to have retired from directing for good. If Hughes really wants to honor the memory of Candy, then he'll push for a dvd of Criterion Calibur.
