- Synopsis
- As an idle, good-natured bachelor, Uncle Buck is the last person you would think of to watch the kids. However, during a family crisis, he is suddenly left in charge of his nephew and nieces. Unaccustomed to suburban life, fun-loving Uncle Buck soon charms his younger relatives Miles and Maizy with his hefty cooking and his new way of doing the laundry. His carefree style does not impress everyone though - especially his rebellious teenage niece, Tia, and his impatient girlfriend, Chanice. With a little bit of luck and a lot of love, Uncle Buck will try to surprise everyone.

-
"Uncle Buck is very entertaining"
-
"Sometimes funny and, in the way of small-screen entertainment, so perfectly predictable that one could mail in the laughs"
-
"For a movie that isn't really that good, Uncle Buck is surprisingly likable"
