"Buck wild" indeed my friends.
I'm make this one short and sweet kids. John Candy is great as the title character "Uncle Buck". My mom took me to see this at the local Ford-Tel dollar show when I was a little kid with my sister. Never before had we laughed that hard together.
Candy doesn't miss a beat and keeps the laughs coming. My favorite parts include where he makes the BIG pancake, pulls the hatchet out of his trunk to scare Bug, and where he punches out Pooter-the-Clown.
Pooter-the-Clown, portrayed by talented yet bit part actor Mike Starr, steals the show as the drunken clown. I must have laughed to the point of wheezing last time I watched this movie (back in January I think).
This is one I'll show my kids for sure. John Candy made many classics in his day (Who's Harry Crumb, Armed and Dangerous, Delirious, Planes Trains and Automobiles, the Great Outdoors), but Uncle Buck will always be the fondest memory I had of him.
God bless you John. I'll never forget you.
