Directed by: John Hughes
Cast: John Candy, Jean Louisa Kelly, Macaulay Culkin
Running Time: 99 minutes
Buck Russell is a slobbish
bachelor that has managed to avoid a real job, marriage and family life for all
of his life. Then, his brother and his sister-in-law call on him to watch over
their three kids, including a rebellious teenager, while they travel for a
family emergency.
I had not seen this particular title in years. What a fun comedy, with a sweet and touching part to it. John Candy is so great in the title role. He makes you believe it wholeheartedly. Jean Louisa Kelly was really good too. She reminded me of my sister around that age, so I had no issue believing it. As for Macaulay Culkin, you could see a glimpse of what was to come.
There were a few off moments here and there, but, overall, I enjoyed this one very much.
