Uncle Buck (1989) - ReIssue

E

In honor of the 35th anniversary of this movie, we decided to re-release our original movie review from August 16, 2021. Is there a big sexy guy in here?? The demigod, John Candy, partners with one of the 80's most iconic directors, John Hughes, to bring us a larger than life comedy. Can the stand out performances of Candy, Culkin, and company, be enough to salvage a classic fish out of water scenario? Can John Hughes create enough space for Candy's first major lead AND make it out from under his own Brat-pack shadow? either way, one things for sure... he's cooking our garbage. —————————————————————— **Also, we have a Patreon.
