Review of by Calum B — 23 Apr 2013

John Hughes has given us some fantastic 80's films and here's one of my favourites: Uncle Buck. John Candy plays Buck, who gets called in to look after his niece's and nephew due to a family emergency.

This unlikely Baby Sitter struggles with his new family role but it always ends in comedy results. It's lovely, lighthearted, laugh out loud funny with some really memorable scenes - particularly the mole scene.

John Candy is comedy gold and I just adore Amy Madigan as Buck's girlfriend. Need a comedy to watch this weekend? Watch this.
