Review of Uncle Buck (1989) by Jason O — 10 Sep 2009

While I was watching "Uncle Buck," I found out that it was a lot funnier and a lot better than I was expecting it to be. First of all, it has John Candy in it as the main star, so I knew it had a good chance of being hilarious. Not only was it hilarious, it was also a good movie.

Buck Russell (John Candy) hasn't ever really been that close to his brother and his family, and he doesn't exactly have the cleanest and richest way of life, but when there's nobody else to turn to, Buck's brother Bob and Bob's wife, just might have to call on Buck to come and babysit their three kids. From there, I'll let you find out the rest on your own, and believe me, it's more than worth it!

There was a lot of parts in "Uncle Buck" that had me laughing nonstop, such as the part where Buck speaks to and makes fun of an assistant principal who has a huge wart on her face. Everything else about "Uncle Buck" goes along with the hilarious antics of John Candy to make this a great movie. It has good acting by everybody, the story is interesting, and I have to say it again, it's HILARIOUS!! If you've ever liked any other John Candy movie or if you like comedy movies at all, especially one the whole family can sit down and have a good time watching, then I recommend purchasing "Uncle Buck." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. Who doesn't miss John Candy?
