About this movie

Comedy acting legend John Candy turns in a signature performance in this effort from director John Hughes as a notoriously irresponsible uncle left to care for his brother's kids during a family crisis. Packed with a host of noteworthy supporting performances, the heartwarming family comedy also features Macaulay Culkin in an early career role shortly before his breakout turn in the Home Alone franchise.

Ratings and reviews

They don't make movies like this anymore, this movie is a classic. Its a heartwarming funny movie, one of my favourite childhood movies of all time! John candy was a legend.

If you've never seen this then you have missed out, big time. Hilarious movie not because they tell you it's funny it just is funny.

Mean spirited and not funny. John Candy was great but he can't save this.
