"Hi, I'm Buck Melanoma, Moley Russell's wart..."

It's John Candy in one of his funnier roles. Check it out, watch it, then watch it again.

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"The movie is filled with good intentions and good feelings, but they seem to conceal another side of Uncle Buck - a side that makes the movie feel creepy and subtly unwholesome. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Candy still raises laughs simply by playing himself, but the film is a heavy weight for even his imposing form to carry. - Geoff Andrew, Time Out"
