Nicholas Aug 28, 2025 Hilarious and funny! See more Cristina Aug 3, 2022 Uncle Buck has always been one of my favorite 80s movies!! It was really cool being able to see it on the big screen with my family See more Kaden D @kdollar Sep 5, 2026 Very fun and entertaining. I discovered this on Netflix, and went in blind. I had no idea where this would go. I thought it was some kind of sky movie. I was wrong, but that doesn't change it was a good movie. See more Jonathan N @Popculture1994 Aug 18, 2026 Uncle Buck was a very funny John Candy, John Hughes movie. It's the best John Hughes movie ever (along with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink for instance). It has amazing performances from Amy Madigan and Macaulay Culkin. It's one of my top five favorite films of the late John Candy (like Spaceballs, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Only the Lonely, and Cool Runnings). See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 19, 2026 Uncle Buck is a really solid comedy because John Candy gives the movie so much heart. Buck could have been just a sloppy, irresponsible man-child, but Candy makes him funny, warm, insecure, unpredictable, and genuinely loving. He has enough edge to feel chaotic, but enough kindness that you understand why the kids eventually respond to him. The movie is more than a string of jokes. Under the smoking, gambling, messy apartment, giant pancakes, and ridiculous parenting choices, there is a sincere story about a man who has been underestimated, finally stepping up when his family needs him. Buck’s dynamic with Tia gives the film its strongest emotional conflict. She sees him as an embarrassment, while he sees through her anger and bad choices. The resolution comes together quickly, but Uncle Buck has that classic John Hughes mix of suburban chaos, broad comedy, and real emotional payoff. See more Melissa M @Lisey Jun 30, 2026 Uncle Buck is a movie with heart. John Candy is a comic genius. Macaulay culkin as Miles in Uncle Buck was his first film role. Fun fact John Candy ad-libbed the scene where he asked Cindy if she has a toilet plunger. Laurie Metcalf who played Marcie The eccentric neighbor was a little nervous because she had limited film experience. But she felt at ease while working with John candy. Because candy was good at improv & he proved to be very supportive while filming their scenes together. Another fun fact in the scene where Miles is imagining the burglars while he's waiting for the babysitter inspired the later hit movie Home Alone. John Hughes made a lot of fun family friendly movies. Films that the whole family could enjoy. Movies that will be enjoyed for generations to come. See more Read all reviews
