Leave your thoughts about Uncle Buck.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe supposedly sweet domestic comedy hits too many sour notes to remain in tune, even if always competent. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.One of the many excellent family films from director and writer John Hughes... |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrAs long as Hughes is content to provide a simple, flexible format for Candy, Uncle Buck is very entertaining. Hughes seems to have relaxed his usual controlling, compulsively tidy style, taking full advantage of the improvisational talents of his star. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's a goofy movie, but also extraordinarily sly, unafraid to permit generous screentime to bizarre jokes and situations of slack guardian supervision. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an agreeable comedy that benefits substantially from Hughes' undeniable gift for seamlessly blending laughs with drama. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThere isn't much to love about the movie besides Candy's excellent performance. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrSometimes funny and, in the way of small-screen entertainment, so perfectly predictable that one could mail in the laughs. |
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyThe Candy man can make this iffy movie taste good. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyUncle Buck is competent comedy, a bit simplistic, a bit stale, no gremlins, no gushiness, no surprises. A Hughes movie offers the kind of reliability you expect from major household appliances or a good set of radials. |
| Portland OregonianTed MaharJohn Hughes unsuccessfully tries to mix a serious generation gap message between the belly laughs in Uncle Buck, a warm-weather John Candy vehicle. |
