Uncle Buck Storyline
Bob Russell, his wife, Cindy, and their three kids, 15-year-old Tia, 8-year-old Miles, and 6-year old Maizy, recently moved from Indianapolis to Chicago, and Tia resents them for it because she, Miles, and Maizy were perfectly happy living in Indianapolis. Bob and Cindy are in bed one night when Cindy’s aunt calls and tells them that her father has had a heart attack. She and Bob immediately make plans to go back to Indianapolis to visit him. After hearing this, Tia angrily tells Cindy that she would have a heart attack too if her family moved away from her. Then she slams her bedroom door in Cindy’s face. With Bob and Cindy going to Indianapolis, the problem is who the babysitter will be. Even though Cindy doesn’t like the idea, they choose Bob’s brother, Buck, to do so. Cindy doesn’t like him because she thinks he is a sloppy person who doesn’t know how to do anything. While she and Bob are in Indianapolis, Buck takes over the house, and tries to do the best he can with Tia, Miles, and Maizy while he’s having problems with Chanice Kobolowski, his girlfriend for the past 8 years. He bonds with Miles and Maizy and wins their love, but he has problems with Tia as he tries to protect her from her boyfriend, Bug, because unknown to her, Bug only wants her for one reason: sex.

Uncle Buck Movie Reviews
Great John Candy movie!
This in My opinion is one of the late great John Candy’s best films! The story,acting,music,and cast is just right.The film is very funny and it is never boring.I just love the Uncle Buck character.The character always wants to have a good time,is always kind and does small and big things for people that he doesn’t even have to do. I wish more people in the world was like this.Anyway I have seen it many times and in My opinion its a classic!If you haven’t seen Uncle Buck and love John Candy,silly and serious comedies then check out this great movie!I highly recommend it!
A seriously overlooked jewel of a comedy!
There are some very negative critical reviews on this movie, which I think personally is unjustified. This film is very funny indeed, especially when the bowling ball falls on Buck’s head. John Candy gives possibly his best performance here as Buck Russell. John Candy was one talented actor, evident in Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Cool Runnings, and I think comedy lost a truly great actor when he died, and I don’t think he ever got the respect he so rightly deserved. This film is very funny indeed, sometimes the jokes are a little over-familiar, and the sentimentality gets in the way at times. Out of the child stars, who were all excellent, Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone fame is a standout. Cute and self-assured suits Culkin like a glove. There was great chemistry between the stars, and in conclusion, see this gem, of which I will award an 8/10 Bethany Cox.
At least chronologically an adult
Uncle Buck is never included many times in a list of good John Hughes films and I think it’s because our protagonist is not an adolescent. Uncle Buck is a forty something man who at least is chronolically an adult. He’s the kind of footloose character who just won’t settle down.
It’s a crisis at the Russell household as Elaine Bromka’s father has a heart attack and she wants to rush to his side. In this emergency the only available baby and house sitter is her husband Garrett Brown’s older unmarried brother good old Uncle Buck played by John Candy.
The younger two Gaby Hoffman and MacCauley Culkin are happy to have their Uncle Buck there because in many way Candy is not that much more mature than them. His real antagonist is teen Jean Louisa Kelly who is not real happy about a lot starting with the Russell family recent move from Indianapolis to Chicago.
In this comedy Candy plays a lovable oaf who does a bit of growing up himself in his babysitting gig. Candy and Kelly are a pair of nasty antagonists and she won’t believe him when he says that Jay Underwood who is hot to trot for her lacks character. I mean wouldn’t you think so if the character had the nickname of ‘Bug’?
Candy also gets a chance to reassess his relationship with long time girl friend Amy Madigan. These two have been going out longer than Nathan Detroit and Adelaide.
Best scene in the film is when Candy pinch hits for mom at a parent teacher conference with Suzanne Shepherd, a most uptight assistant prinipal. Him telling her off is priceless.
One of John Candy’s best films, still very funny indeed.
