Uncle Buck (1989) Movie Reaction | MOTHER DAUGHTER FIRST TIME WATCHING | Katherine Jaymes 

It's impossible to not enjoy everything John Candy was in. 😊RIP to a legendary Canadian.

As a Canadian I always loved John Candy, he was so funny. One of my favourites is “The Great Outdoors” with him and Dan Ackroyd another good one is “ Planes, Trains and Automobiles” with Steve Martin and John Candy. You might not realize it but if you saw Home Alone, John Candy was in it. When the mom was trying to get home ( near the end of the movie) John Candy was with the polka band that offered her a ride in the truck.

The crazy neighbor is Laurie Metcalf who was the sister, Jackie, of Roseanne on TV back in the late 80's through the 90's

John Candy was also in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", Cool Runnings and Home Alone. He was (RIP) a very skilled improvising comic. He was well known is Canada as a member of the Second City Tv show where played a wide variety of characters. There were a large number of members of that group that went on to international fame (Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Catherine O' Hara and others)

I am going through it with life right now, a little John Candy goes a long way. I first saw "Uncle Buck" with my dad when I was 12 years old and I cherish those memories. It's amazing to see the legacy of John and John's films live on like this. No word of exaggeration; for me John Candy has achieved Sainthood. John got his start on SCTV, which was shot for a time, in the city I live in. Jen Candy (his wonderful, loving daughter) shared an intimate 8MM home movie of the cast of SCTV playing softball in a baseball field, that holds very special import to my own childhood. It is something else being able to see someone you idolize being his naturally charming self, in a location you spent hours playing near as a kid. As the springtime sun clears those snowy Alberta fields, I might go for a walk there soon. Anyhow, "Uncle Buck" is a special movie that I will hold near my heart forever. John Candy was a beautiful soul and I feel blessed to have shared some time with him. RIP to everyone's uncle. I miss him every day.

RIP John Candy, you made me laugh so many times in my life.

Laurie Metcalf played the neighbor. She also played Jackie in Rosanne and Sheldon's mom in The Big Bang Theory.

From ALL accounts (of which there are many) John Candy was exactly what you'd expect. A loving, kind, generous, and funny soul, of which there will never be another kind. He reminds me of my own dad and I try to be like them both.

I loved your reactions to John Candy in this film. If you liked him, then please, please, pretty please do watch him in Planes, Trains and Automobiles around Thanksgiving! I suspect you will see more into his character than most on your first viewing based on how accurate your intuition was here.

Uncle Buck was released one year before Home Alone, I believe. It's interesting to me that John Candy had a part in Home Alone as well (the polka band leader who gives Kevin's mom a ride home in his tour van), although that character is just kind of blah for me. I only discovered Uncle Buck around 1998, so about 9 years after it was released, but although I wasn't keen on all the swearing, I loved his proactive personality and how the family situation resolved. The first role that I recognized John Candy for was his performance in Cool Runnings. I liked that movie's heart too and would enjoy seeing your reactions to it. I guess the first movie that I ever heard John Candy's performance in was Disney's 'The Rescuers Down Under' and his character was memorable in it but I didn't know who he was at the time and only realized in retrospect that it was him after seeing Cool Runnings. Two Bill Murray movies that I discovered right around the same time that I found Uncle Buck were 'Groundhog Day' and 'What About Bob?'. I'd be interested in your reactions to those as well.

He's cooking our garbage...lol. classic

Many John Hughes films are set and filmed in the same general area, namely the north shore (read: mostly affluent) suburbs of Chicago, including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, and this one. Hence the similar homes/neighborhoods.

Another underrated John Candy movie produced by John Hughes is "Only the Lonely". It also stars Ally Sheedy, Jim Belushi, Macaulay and Kieran Culkin.

The Great Outdoors and Summer Rentals are 2 more good movies with John Candy. He was a good actor and passed away too soon.

Interesting you mentioned Ferris Bueller's Day Off because this is directed by the same director, John Hughes. Yep, younger and this was before Home Alone, and If I'm not mistaking Mac was only 9 years old when making this movie.

Uncle Buck is a masterpiece!

I just releazied i'm Uncle Buck. My sister and brother in law are nice enough to put up with my antics. Plus I don't mind babysitting they have an in ground pool, hot tub and sauna and I get to play video games with my nephews lol. As a Chicago resident you need to be careful about accidentally knocking on the wrong door at 2 am. My dog Russ T. use to go hide in the shower during thunder storms. R.I.P. Russ T. I loved my Uncle Joe. I'm a screw up but even my sisters don't exclude me from family pictures. I love my niece and nephews I would die for them.

The director later took the mail slot scene a step further with Macaulay Culkin for “Home Alone.” The actresses who played “Shaniece” and “Maisey” went on to play a mother and daughter in the Kevin Costner baseball movie “Field of Dreams.”

I didn't live that far from John Candy growing up. I unintentionally met him a few times. He's exactly how you think he would be. A total gem.

John Candy was great in Summer Rental. Anything he was in you just loved him

_Uncle Buck_ was John Candy at his level best.

I still can't over how much her and her mom look like twins.

Did you see Tia's(?) expression of disgust drinking the coffee, not because it's made badly, but due to it her first ever cup of coffee. ;-) I can't imagine in 2024, what would happen if a car "boomed" like that? When I was a kid, not only was the door unlocked (unless no one's home), but the milkman would drop off what we ordered into the kitchen, leave a bill, pick-up the payment and leave. He's thinking, "Please be a concussion generated hallucination...", Oh, it's not. ;-D RIP John Candy

How could y'all watch this and not laugh your asses off? Such a dull reaction to a hilarious movie.

I totally remember this movie, mostly because I knew Macaulay Culkin starred in it LOL 😂 it's a very nice family-friendly film and I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it 🤣 I know I haven't told you this in a while Katherine, but I just wanted to let you know that you look beautiful ❤️ and keep up the great work 👍 and RIP to Uncle Buck himself John Candy

The Nosy annoying neighbor, that is Laurie METCALF. She played Jackie on the TV show Roseanne, if you ever seen that.

John Candy is a legend.

Another good one is the great outdoors with John candy

Love this movie. John was a natural funny guy. xx

This is my favorite John candy movie ,I love it so much 💕

1. Many say Planes Trains and Automobiles, but I say this was his best. 2. Of course it's Chicago. This is a John Hughes film. 3. Macaulay Culkin got the "Home Alone" gig because Landis loved him in this. 4. That's the same High School used by Hughes for "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Beuller's Day Off". 5. Making a stack of pancakes that big would take A LOT of work. 🙄(and money) 6. Tell me you didn't enjoy this. I dare you 😁

John Candy was in home alone he helped the mother get back home

A good John Candy movie with Richard Pryor to watch and I think ya'll would thoroughly enjoy is " Brewster's Millions "👍

Hell yeah having a tire business has its perks like you never have to worry about paying for or needing tires😊

I, for real, just started locking my door every day in the last couple months. In the past, my front door had gone months at a time without being locked.

Good to watch mother and daughter having fun ❤

33:25 That's called a John Hughes movie. 😂

The little sister was young Gaby Hoffmann, who was later in Mrs Doubtfire.

My favorite John Candy film.

Been with you girls for over 3 years and another Halloween 🎃 Love you both. Especially you Mama 😘😘😘

back in the 1980's you could smoke in schools, movie theaters , doctors offices, and airplanes. I miss the good old days..

Uncle Buck is PG classic family movie

Lessons to learn with my own daughters...if they ignore my advice and grow up to be stuck up...lol

This is Macaulay Culkin's first movie role, if I am not mistaken. John Candy was also in "Home Alone" as well. He played the musician that actually got Kevin's mother home to her son...via the back of a rental moving truck... "Home Alone" was made a year after "Uncle Buck". Macauley Culkin also appeared in John's movie "Only the Lonely" the year after they made "Home Alone" as well. Most of John Candy's roles were very similar, and he usually played the same basic character, but not always carbon copies. Some of his movies include "Summer Rental", "The Great Outdoors", "Spaceballs", ""Going Berserk", Armed and Dangerous", "Delirious", "Who's Harry Crumb?", "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", and "Canadian Bacon". The last movie he completed was "Cool Runnings". He was still working on "Wagons East" when he passed away, and they had to edit the movie and script around the footage they already had of him to finish the film.

Armed And Dangerous is a great Candy film.

Seeing Laurie Metcalfe from Roseanne so young you can really see the resemblance to her daughter, Zoe Perry, who plays Young Sheldon's mom.

enjoyed thank you to the both of yall can we get more 80's and 90's movies even if yall seen the movie or not SOUTH CENTRAL GHOST FRESH

thanks for this reaction, I loved this movie when I first watched it ,John candy is a great actor he was in cool runnings,planes trains and automobiles. miracles and blessings to you and yours ✌️ 💜

I really hope you can reconsider your comments at around 28:45. When you are in a terrifying situation like that sometimes part of the brain shuts down and you freeze up. Just because she isn't slapping him or fighting him off doesn't mean she is consenting. She said no. That should be enough

Maybe that’s where I got it from, no kids of my own but so many mates kids call me uncle & if they play up I can call them by their real name rather then a nickname & they instantly say sorry to me & their parents. The parents always ask how I can get them to behave, because I threatened to smack them if they didn’t! We do that all the time. Yea & clearly they weren’t fooled by your empty threats!!! When I said it they believed it & I never laid a finger on them but years later they still don’t want to push their luck. That is parenting!!! Be there friend when you can but at the end of the day they need guidance!

John C was the best! I spoke to my dad with disrespect one time like the girl at the beginning of the movie, when I woke up I needed a haircut.

The long antenna is for his CB radio he has in the car...

im liking your page in hopes you keep up the movie review route

The antenna is so tall, because it would receive radio waves for the car.

If you like Uncle Buck, I recommend Planes Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving (The movie takes place around Thanksgiving), Wagons East (his last movie), Summer Rental, Whose Harry Crumb?, and last but not least The Great Outdoors. They're all real good.

top 10 favorite dysfunctional family movie comedies

I learned my first curse word from this film. Watch Cool Runnings from 1993, it’s another John Candy film.

ahhh my childhood films, thank you laies.............=)

The two cutest movie watching buddies ever! Thanks!!

perhaps the best John Candy movie ever?

John Candy died too young. He is a Canadian icon! Watch more of his movies and you will not be disappointed.

If you ever want to see a movie with John Candy and Digital Underground you gotta check out Nothing But Trouble. I mean where else are you going to see Chevy Chase, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd and Tupac Shakur onscreen together? It's a trippy movie.

You guys are neat, Uncle Buck, probably John Candy at his best!!!

Yes! You should really react to “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”! It is a perfect Thanksgiving movie!

ill never go to the movies with you two lol

Buck is the uncle I aspired to be when my sister started having kids, and that was BEFORE the movie came out. My sister was always terrified about what new skills I would teach the kids. Then I wound up with custody of all 3 for 12 years. That was some payback but mostly it was good prep.

Mama made me cry too

Great reactions. 🙂

Home Alone 1 is the BEST one

Katherine Jaymes did you and your mom know who John Candy was who played Uncle Buck? He’s a legendary comedian actor from Canada. He unfortunately passed away in 1994

We called those "a funny heart warming story" back in the day

RIP Big man.

A very similar feel-good movie I'm sure you'll enjoy; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...

Great reaction but you cut out one of the best scenes. When Buck can't talk to the Principal without stammering about her mole.

whatma wonderfu movie!

Glad you enjoyed this film, John Candy was a very talented actor & is greatly missed.

Great movie presentation.

FYI the interview with Macaulay Culkin scene got him noticed for home alone

Sad your video keeps blurring out. Classic movie

Yeah John Candy was a big dude he was like 6' 5 I think

I loved John Candy from his SCTV days until he passed on.

I enjoyed the character development in this movie.

The obnoxious teenage girl plays the wife in the "Yes Dear" sitcom.

You should really react to Johnny cash's cover the the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt.

watch other John Candy movies..... Planes trains and automobiles, cool runnings, the great outdoors, brewster millions, spaceballs, summer rental

I miss watching you guys react.

You would like the original Overboard with Goldie And Kirk

Adventures in Babysitting

It might sound creepy but y'all's hairstyles are great...just thought I'd throw that out there

I don't know if anyone has recommended this yet or not, but... " Monty Python and the search for the holy grail" is a classic

This is a cult classic. John Candy R.I.P. at his best.

heeey long time .ladies .

LOL THAT LOOK YOUR MOM GAVE YOU LOL 24:14...BY THE WAY YOU MOM IS VERY PRETTY

Okay you guys look at the shows but you don't listen it's the oldest daughter and she's ticked off because they moved here to a different state we were all teenagers once so there you go

Love you guys. This is one of my favorite movies. Please do another reaction to Ralphie May, particularly when he goes to a black movie theater. I'd love to hear your reaction.

What the heck the movies called Uncle Buck what do you think he was?? Of course he's their uncle

Look into adventures in babysitting 1987 another good movie

Iam in love with your mom, shes so beautiful 👍

Can you react to a western next. I would suggest "The quick and the dead" (1995)? It has an all star cast: Sharron Stone, Gene Hackman, Leonardo Dicaprio, Russell Crowe, and Kieth David to name a few
