Uncle Buck backdrop

Uncle Buck 1989 Directed by John Hughes

He's crude. He's crass. He's family.

Buck Russell, a lovable but slovenly bachelor, suddenly becomes the temporary caretaker of his nephew and nieces after a family emergency. His freewheeling attitude soon causes tension with his older niece Tia, loyal girlfriend Chanice and just about everyone else who crosses his path.
