    He's crude. He's crass. He's family.

    There isn't really much to be said about Uncle Buck. It is very good but it is a simple little film, one of those nice films to watch on a Sunday afternoon without having to rack your brain or think too hard.

    The late John Candy excels here as Buck Russell who at first glance is...( read more) a slob and without much going for him. However, as the film goes on, we learn that Uncle Buck does indeed have a heart. The film really is about a guy who looks like the type of man you would keep your family away from but who is in fact a guy with a heart of gold.

    I recommend Uncle Buck to anyone who fancies watching a nice simple little film for the whole family to enjoy. And watch out for the scene with the drunken clown on the doorstep!

    In my opinion, John Candy at his funniest, Culkin classic.

    He did a great job on that movie. It's so sad he died of a heart attack. What a smile he has!

    The end is always pretty heartwarming.
    And the 'Heart Attack' Sequense is pure genius. How Hughes planned it out was utter brilliance.
