Storyline
Uncle Buck has a reputation for being unreliable and a bit of a house wrecker. It is therefore with reluctance, his sister-in-law agrees to leave Buck looking after the kids (two harmless youngsters and a rebelious teenager) when she visits her sick father. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
During Miles' interrogation of Uncle Buck (22:36 to 23:01), John Candy wrote out the script's dialog and wore it atop his head so Macaulay Culkin could read the lines more quickly and keep the pace of the scene very fast. (Note that this would be the take of the scene when the camera was set for close-ups of Miles.) See more »Goofs
Miscellaneous: Buck says Chanice gave him new shocks for his car (at 01:30:31), but the car bounces up and down all the time, as if the shocks are worn out. See more »Quotes
