Cristina Uncle Buck has always been one of my favorite 80s movies!! It was really cool being able to see it on the big screen with my family Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/22 Full Review Megan Y Hey man this movie is actually pretty good!!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Jones J John Hughes attempts to convince us that he loved to do hard cocaine while writing his scripts through the existence of Uncle Buck. Its quite a strange film with awkward timing, perplexing montages and gags, and above all, just a weird plot. However, this film would be condemned and awful from start to finish if it weren't for Mr. John Candy. Candy will make you smile with every line's delivery and facial expression he has to offer. His undeniable and wonderful charm is dialed to the max in this off-putting 80s comedy. Overall, a dumb movie with one of the most charismatic lead-performances in any Hughes comedy you may see. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Steven Y The late, great John Candy is just golden in this iconic film. It might not be his finest film, as it's tonally all over the place, but it's still a genuine gem. Especially rewatching this as an adult and a parent, there's such warmth to seeing the protective qualities of Buck, contrasted by his chaotic way of life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Yash B "Uncle Buck" is not perfect, but it is a funny and sweet John Hughes film made near the end of the 1980s. I think the movie has some decent laughs and some good and simple lessons. I don't think it tries to reinvent the wheel and some of the humor doesn't work for me, but it's an entertaining movie. A lot of this is because of John Candy's performance and this movie is just one of many that reminds the world what a gift he was for this generation of cinema. Overall, it is a movie that may have conflicting tones and iffy humor choices, but for the most part, I enjoyed it and it left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling that only a classic John Hughes film can create. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Michael V He's crude. He's crass. He's family. Uncle Buck is a 1989 American comedy-drama film written and directed by John Hughes 🏠 It’s good 🙂 Worth a watch. I’d recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 Buck Russell, a lovable but slovenly bachelor, suddenly becomes the temporary caretaker of his nephew and nieces after a family emergency. His freewheeling attitude soon causes tension with his older niece Tia, loyal girlfriend Chanice and just about everyone else who crosses his path.
