Uncle Buck is one of the best John Candy movies. In this 1989 film, he stars as the title character, a bachelor who is asked to look after his brother's three children while his brother and sister-in-law are out of town due to a family emergency. Buck is slobbish, but he soon displays a caring and responsible side. The movie was released one year before Macaulay Culkin, who co-stars as Buck's nephew, achieved greater fame in Home Alone. The late film director John Hughes made his share of great films, including The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful. Uncle Buck is another one of his many gems. It is a wonderful heartwarming comedy.
