Uncle Buck
(1989)
Regisseur:
John HughesSchauspieler:
Gaby Hoffmann, John Candy, Macaulay Culkin, Jean Louisa KellyOnkel Buck, das schwarze Schaf der Familie wird zur Betreuung der “lieben Kleinen” seines Bruders abkommandiert – für mehrere Tage. Nach dem Motto “rauh aber herzlich” ersetzt er fehlende Kenntnisse der geordneten Haushaltsführung durch geniales Improvisationstalent; er trocknet Socken in der Mikrowelle, backt einen Riesen-Pfannkuchen und verteidigt die Unschuld der Tochter mit der Bohrmaschine. Daß er damit so ganz nebenbei die Kinder in den Wahnsinn treibt, die Nachbarn in Panik ausbrechen und die Eltern bei ihrer Rückkehr dem Herzinfarkt nahe sind, ist eigentlich völlig klar…
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 manages to surprise everyone in this heartwarming family comedy.
