Uncle Buck (1989) - 49.5 Points

Chuckles 45, Laughs 12, Belly Laughs 5
Notes: John Candy and Macaulay Culkin headline this underrated John Hughes comedy, which again is set in Chicago and it looks like the same house used in Planes, Trains and Automobiles that Steve Martin lived in. I honestly like Macaulay Culkin more in this movie than the Home Alone series and this is one of my favorite John Candy roles as well. Jean Louisa Kelly plays the annoying teenager so well, you honestly can't stand her. My favorite scene is where John Candy goes to visit the principal who has a crazy mole on her face. "My friends call me Melanoma Head!" Ok, Laurie Metcalf plays the nosy neighbor from across the street and she is amazing - very funny as well! Uncle Buck's car is hilarious and my parents had a car like that. It didn't have all the smoke in the back but it made hugely embarrassing sounds in public and I was a teenager at the time so I can totally relate to the horror! It's not my favorite John Hughes movie but I truly did enjoy it.
Would I watch it again? Yes.
