Uncle Buck

Khandy NarteyNov 16, 2022

When we lost John Candy we lost a friend. I enjoyed all of his movies as I think I saw most of them. Uncle Buck probably his best. Tia (his niece) does'nt hate him because he's Unkle Buck, she hates him because he represents authority. She is young and rebellious as most fifteen year old teens are. Miles and Masie love him out of the get go because they see him for what he is, a big loving teddy-bear. When at the bowling ally when Buck chases Pal away the ice starts to melt as Tia starts to realize Buck is not out to get her but to protect her. Buck had to tell Tia a bit about the birds and the bees. Where was her father all her life? Anyway this movie has a lot of laughs a few tears trust and love. At the end in the scene when Tia's mother comes into the house and Tea and her embrace just about rips one's heart out. Happy ending? Why not? Don't rent it, buy it and be done with it.

John Hughes' Uncle Buck is a heartwarming family comedy about a father whose father in-law had a heart attack and they have to get to Indianapolis as soon as possible but curious to find out who is going to watch their kids Tia (Jean Louisa-Kelly), Miles (Macaulay Culkin), and Maizy (Gaby Hoffman) while they're gone, and the man who watches them is his brother Buck (played by John Candy in a sensationally funny performance.). Hughes' comedic genius is undeniable, along with the drama in this movie. Not only it is a good comedy but another thing that John Hughes proves in this movie is that how stupid teenagers can be, and how valuable spending time with family members you don't remember or have never met can really be instead instead of spending time with teenage losers of which Tia used to consider friends.

Uncle Buck Russell (John Candy) is an unreliable bachelor. His brother needs someone to look after his kids (Jean Louisa Kelly, Gaby Hoffmann, Macaulay Culkin) while he and his wife go see her ill father. Buck is the last guy she wants for her kids but they have no choice. Uncle Buck gets into all kinds of trouble in this fish out of water movie. But his street smarts and good nature win over everybody, and help the family get closer together. His long suffering girlfriend is played by Amy Madigan. This is one of the most joy-filled movie in the happy career of John Hughes. This has to be included in John Hughes' greatest collection. It's due in no small part to the inherit joy in John Candy's nature. He exudes joy and happiness. And it's inevitable that everybody get their happy Hollywood ending. After all this is a John Hughes movie.

John Candy, rest his soul, plays an understated role here. He is funny as usual but low keyed about it. His portrayal of Uncle Buck, the untrustworthy, unreliable, black sheep of the family I thought was excellent. When a family emergency comes up Uncle Buck is the only available person to watch the two kids as the parents must leave. He ends up teaching the rebellious teenage daughter a few things about life and rescues her from a tight situation, causing her to reevaluate her Uncle Buck. The young brother is at times an adversary and at others an ally. So to some it up all ends well and when the parents return expecting a disaster they find everything is okay.

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.

There are some very negative critical reviews on this movie, which I think personally is unjustified. This film is very funny indeed, especially when the bowling ball falls on Buck's head. John Candy gives possibly his best performance here as Buck Russell. John Candy was one talented actor, evident in Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Cool Runnings, and I think comedy lost a truly great actor when he died, and I don't think he ever got the respect he so rightly deserved. This film is very funny indeed, sometimes the jokes are a little over-familiar, and the sentimentality gets in the way at times. Out of the child stars, who were all excellent, Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone fame is a standout. Cute and self-assured suits Culkin like a glove. There was great chemistry between the stars, and in conclusion, see this gem, of which I will award an 8/10 Bethany Cox.
