Uncle Buck is an incredibly relaxed and endearing family comedy, whose enduring success is due to the great performance of John Candy, whose role as the (slightly) crazy uncle fits him like a glove. Also worth mentioning is little Macaulay Culkin, who managed to make me laugh even before he was Home Alone. Apart from the unforgettable cast, the film is charming thanks to its humorously written script with more than one scene that will put a smile on your face even after repeated viewings. The contrast between naively carefree childhood and confused and problematic adolescence can be seen in the Russell children. I liked that along with the comic line, the film finds room for more serious moments that are timeless and still relevant. P.S. "Ever hear of a ritual killing?"

I love John Candy movies. Him and other dudes like Jim Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Pullman. Their films from the 70s-90s are absolutely classy. Banal situations played out to perfection. I wouldn't even be afraid to call Candy the Fatty Arbuckle of the post-war era. He's that close to my heart. And in Uncle Buck, we see a very small and already very smart Macaulay Culkin.

It doesn’t reach the quality level of Ferris Bueller, but Uncle Buck is still a showcase of John Hughes’s singular talent and comedy timing (which he somehow started to lose after Home Alone, but that is very possibly due to changes in the expectations of the audience and the cultural atmosphere). This time the story is very classical and I have to say that there were moments where the behaviour of the characters was a bit questionable, but there are still plenty of ideas, everything happens at a pleasant pace and the absence of cheap humour and the presence of John Candy make the hero convincing. I would have loved to spend my teenage years with such an uncle, even at the risk of gaining weight and an even more markedly limited romantic life. 75%
