Description

John Candy stars in this John Hughes comedy as an idle, good-natured bachelor who's left in charge of his nephew and nieces during a family crisis. Unaccustomed to suburban life, fun-loving Uncle Buck soon charms his younger relatives Miles and Maizy with his hefty cooking and his new way of doing the laundry. But his carefree style doesn't impress everyone, including Tia (Jean Kelly), his rebellious teenage niece, and Chanice (Amy Madigan), his impatient girlfriend. Uncle Buck is the last person you'd think of to watch the kids. But with a little luck and a lot of love, he manages to surprise everyone in this heartwarming family comedy.

    This is the first movie in a long time to actually make me laugh. It was so funny and moving as well. John Candy was just awesome in this. And it also stars a young Mackuley Culkin. Pretty cool movie. :)

    I think it's a classic! It's great for kids and a good cheer up movie. My only criticism is that it's a bit inappropriate at the end with certain things. Any
  • An 80's Classic!

    A classic movie and a credit to two of the 1980s most talented individuals: John Candy and John Hughes, who are, sadly, no longer with us. If there's an image of John Candy that always makes me smile and remember what a well loved actor he was, it's the final frame off Uncle Buck where he is smiling and waving goodbye to his brothers daughter, accompanied by that classic song by Hugh Harris.

    John Candy stars as Uncle Buck in the epical 1980's comedy with Macauley Culkin when Miles's mother's father has a heart attack, Buck is the only one who can look after the childeren while they're visiting her father. But Buck has plenty of fun stuff packed for the week together with the childeren, will Buck proove he's the father type of just playing stupid ;) RIP John Candy love you Mac ;)

    The price is outrageous I want to get a few films and tv shows on my ipod but you are talking me out of it with the prices. Uncle Buck was in the bargain bin at ASDA for £3 last week.

    The late great John Candy's best film. We all love this film. It's witty, has a great cast...including the star of home alone and is a real feel good movie. I bought this the moment it was available on DVD and it will be treasured forever...rest in peace big man.
