GENE SISKEL RELEASE: 12/15/89 TAKE 4 OF 4 UNCLE BUCK. John Candy stars as a gross uncle asked to baby-sit his brother's three suburban children for a week. Predictably, the kids are first offended and then take a liking to the buffoon. For his part, we are supposed to believe that the uncle is domesticated by the kids. Writer-director John Hughes fills his fairy tale with all sorts of oddball touches. The movie could use more of them. PG. 2 1/2 stars. |
