Anyone else feel absolutely gutted seeing a John Candy freeze frame that fades to black? 😭

Only John Candy could make someone like Buck - who threatens (and kidnaps) teenagers, can't take care of a dog, and makes his living off of gambing - into a charming and loveable character. RIP

I suspect that Tia had such a problem with Buck because her mother spoke badly about him in front of her for her entire life. Regardless of Tia's turnaround in the end, the mother was very snotty and snobbish throughout, an attitude clearly adopted by Tia. Thankfully, in the end, Tia has a truly loving ally in Buck, and she will hopefully mature in understanding and compassion for both herself and her parents, as I suspect that her parents won't change dramatically toward her when it's all said and done.

I always thought Uncle Buck was one of his best roles. It allowed his personally and charisma to shine through.

John Candy was a Canadian, but in my heart he was one of the best Americans ever. That little girl was great in sleepless in Seattle. You're so great at calling out the right things. TY.

John Candy wasn’t the first choice to star. Danny DeVito was originally considered for the role of Uncle Buck. I'm so glad this role ended up going to John! Absolute classic.

Buck melanoma gets me every time

"Do you think she hates me?" "With a passion." "Really? Do you think it's the hat?" "No." "No? A lot of people hate this hat. It angers a lot of people, just the sight of it. Ah, I'll tell you a story about that on the way to school." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Anna Chlumsky, Jean Louisa Kelly, and Gina Doctor. Location Location Fact: Almost every set was built in a local high school gymnasium, including the two-story Russell house. Good Frienemies Fact: Despite their characters not getting along for the majority of the film, off-camera Jean Louisa Kelly got along very well with John Candy and said she was honored to work with someone she considered a legend. Culkin Candy Fact: This is the first of 3 movies Macaulay Culkin and John Candy would star in together. The others being Home Alone (1990) where they had no screen time together and Only The Lonely (1991) where Culkin only had a small cameo.

I STILL introduce myself as "Buck Melanoma... moley Russell's wart at random, inappropriate times.

If I were to guess, the older daughter was probably a spoiled firstborn, that ended up being more ignored, when the much younger kids entered the story. She probably was close to her grandfather & probably resented never being able to see him again. (at least potentially) It's also likely that her parents were the type that made decisions on their own & took for granted that she'd just go along. That doesn't excuse here & she was very over the top, but those are possible things that one could infer, since we never got an explicit backstory for her. This is one of my favorite films & John Candy is one of my favorite actors. If you'd like to see more of him, obviously see the rest of his movies. You might also like checking out some episodes of SCTV. It's like a Canadian version of SNL. They often make fun of SNL on the show, as well. The back story of the show is that NBC rejected their ideas, so they started their own TV network. While we're on that topic, you might like Weird Al's UHF, which is a film that covers a similar idea. It's a hidden gem for sure.

John Candy at his best! This has to be his best role ever, it's one movie I could watch over and over...seldom pass it up if I see it playing on cable. I remember seeing John Hughes on, I think, the Charlie Rose show. In the interview, he gave some of the back story with regards to the older daughter in this film. Buck apparently used to visit them regularly when she was younger, like 5 or 6, and there was an event where he accidentally started part of their house on fire. After that, his sister in-law vetoed any invites for him to come over. So the older daughter did remember him, but was angry he stopped visiting those years ago. This explains most of the animosity she has for him and why she acted like a world class capital C. The scene with the assistant principal is the best, including the look on the kid's face who is sitting outside, waiting his turn and hearing Buck go off on her.

Teenagers can change and grow up. I was an (jerk) to put it politely. Now I look back and can't believe how I was back then.

You're a little harsh on Tia. A lot of kids are like this but it's on the parents. Maybe they're too caught on their lives to pay attention. Buck paid attention and it made a huge difference.

Tia is pretty awful (until the end of course) but I always felt that she learned a good chunk of that behavior from her mother (especially in the way she treats Buck). The mom isn't very pleasant either. And obviously they let her get away with a lot of her BS. Anyway, this is my favorite John Candy movie and I love little Macaulay Culkin in it too. Hilarious and wholesome

Some lesser known (at least by reactors) John Candy - Only The Lonely, Armed & Dangerous, Canadian Bacon

Watching lots of people watch this, honestly I get her. She's a teenage woman going through puberty (Which, now that I've talked about it with SOs, I understand the hell of it way more than I did when younger and watching this movie) who probably had a small group of friends she really trusted and could talk to, forced to leave that group of friends at a time when it was near impossible to keep in touch with friends who loved a long way away, who has to help raise her siblings somewhat, and now she's being looked after by some rando who, statistically, is one of the most likely people to sexually assault her (Though obviously us watchers know Buck never would). She pushes it a bit TOO far a few times even with all of that, but still I kind of understand how she's acting.

I love this flick. Another good John Hughes movie (well he wrote it) that’s along the same vibe of this is Dutch.

80s PG, man. It was amazing. Now CGI cartoons made for toddlers are PG. You could get away with actual storytelling identifiable situations in movies without having it be an adult movie. Some of the most immature movies now are rated PG-13 or R. It's not like these kids aren't experiencing these things growing up anyway. You're not hiding them from anything. Hollywood is just making excuses for making bad movies for kids.

Seeing parts of this movie always gets a good laugh out of me, but your reactions totally had me in stitches! 🤣 It looks like you select some lesser known gems not often found on other reaction channels; checking these out should be a fun time. Subscribed! ✌

My first time watching you and I've already subscribed. You're an amazing person with amazing character and you have a lot of emotional intelligence.

Someone just went and gave her oldest a hug. Try The Great Outdoors and Summer Rental. 2 very little acknowledged John Candy films.

The teenage daughter makes me extremely happy that my ex wife and I couldn't had children. I am glad you watched this one.

She disliked him, because of her mother and she was acting out because they moved.

Whenever I think of John Candy, I see that freeze-frame of him waving and smiling. I miss the Candy Man. RIP

Spoiler Alert 🚨 I absolutely LOVE that John Candy and Macaulay are reunited in Home Alone after this. Although they don't share a scene, it's heartwarming for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♂

I was scrolling along and saw, and then watched your video. Laughed a lot and loved how you reacted to what you were watching. I'm getting ready to subscribe and go watch your reaction to Sweet Home Alabama.

John Candy was honest to God the most precious man. Such a sweetheart. Gone, but certainly not forgotten.

I distinctly remember having 5 of your last 6 uploads on VHS at my cabin.

I have not seen this in ages. Seeing your reaction to it is amazing. This is a great movie. I miss John Candy so much. I miss John Hughes too!

John Candy was great at elevating characters in movies to always be likable. Lots of fun in his movies.

the man who wrote John Candy's biography said I have done a lot of celebrity biographies but with John Candy he explained what you see really is what he is

From how it sounded, Tia had a pretty good life where they used to live, then her parents forced her to move and she lost all her friends and had a hard time starting over here. Combine that with a snooty mother who looks down on Buck and there you go. She had the turn around because she thought she had it all figured out, and Buck showed her she really didn't, and it made her realize she knew precisely Jack and shit. And through everything she did, Buck never abandoned her. That will go a long way in changing someone's outlook.

Tia is Sylvia Plath meets Annie Hall.

The high school they used in this film was an abandoned High School. They also used the high school in the movies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club and they used the school gymnasium for filming the Home Alone home because the house was small to film in locations. The neighbors house at the end of Home Alone neighbors house was a set in the pool too so they did the water scene in the pool. I used to live 45 minutes for those locations in Illinois. My favorite John Candy film is Trains, Planes and Automobiles. Also Cool Runnings is another good John Candy film. For Home Alone John Candy did his role for free.

"I'll remember it always'. That line had me.

Got to love John Candy my favorite movies with him or The Great outdoors Brewster's millions splash,, I mean there's just so many movies

All she needed was someone to take the time to not just take care of her. But to care. The parents seemed great, but preoccupied..... She needed a little discipline.... but with a genuine sense of someone going out of their way to set her right. With her best interests in mind. Teens sometime get that from someone a little farther out of their inner circle than their parents. Also she had a huge chip on her shoulder for them moving.... Teens have the hardest time with that. Having to start from scratch with relationships. Of course all of this was exaggerated because it was a movie..... But that is where the tensions and the comedy came from.

My wife and I haven't seen every john candy movie but we've seen this and it's really good

Just found Your Channel , thank You for the Entertainment , love Yor Movie Choices and Energy and it helps me forgetting Stress for a little Time , Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in advanvce from Germany

This 65 year young Aussie has Uncle Buck on DVD, and I can highly recommended another John Candy movie 'The Great Outdoors " if you haven't seen it, you won't regret it 😊

II don't know if you have watched John Candy's late night TV show SCTV. It was a sketch comedy show starring Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, and Joe Flaherty. They parodied soap operas, TV commercials, fitness shows, and everything else. The show setting is a local TV station. I bought the DVD box set, and it's still funny.

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 😁 PS: For a child hitting the "B" word out of the park you need to review, "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory", with Gene Wilder.

9:22 Now Who Doesn't Want A Car That Literally Backfires?! 🚗💥😂

9:06 No Wonder Macaulay Culkin Got In Home Alone A Year Later.

This is my favorite John Candy movie. The scene where he tells the woman with mole off is my favorite scene. Amy Madigan plays his love interest. She is great in Field of Dreams. She is also in the Stephen King movie The Dark Half.

The grudge against her parents was they moved her from her whole social life and school to Chicago. She duplicated The Grudge her mom had on Uncle Buck

26:24 You Know What Hurts More Than A Golf Ball? Being Cheated On! 😆

19:42 Marcy, Keep Your Dirty Pillows Out Of His Laundry Basket! 😨😰

11:45 Exactly! 💯 Who Names Their Kid Bug?! Entomologists?

Bravo Tia, For Causing Drama! 😠

One of my fave John Candy movies is one with Ally Sheedy, "Only the Lonely," with the lovely Maureen O'Hara as John's overbearing Irish Catholic mother. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it. ❤

15:27 Now Who Doesn't Want Giant Pancakes For Their Birthdays? 🥞🤤😋😆

Sheldon's mother be breaking into people's houses

Toe rag!!! I’m dying!😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Great reaction video! Loads of fun!

It always gives me a warm feeling watching John Candy he's sweet no pun intended I'm British forgive me. But you gave a brilliant and incisive reaction to a top movie. Would you give me your opinion on a film called " In the heat of the night".It's one of my favourites. TAKE CARE.

24:43 Now I Wanna Hug Tia. 😢 She May Have Been A B* tch, But Sometimes They Don't Deserve This.

15:51 Now That Is Entertaining! 😂

i instantly wondered how you would react to the eldest daughter.... 2 min in... "That little bitch would be getting a backhand". I was not disappointed! 😂

24:14 😂 The Drill! Yess! 👏😆

Within a scant two years, John Hughes went from empathizing with teens, to suddenly making them the nuisance.

Brilliant movie. Love how Buck has a second go at the plate on the mantle when it doesn't break first time round. Also, the grown up version of the older daughter was Iceman's wife in Top gun: maverick, I think.

The only person that comes close to the level of annoying that Tia has is a person who comments every 2 seconds with their opinions on life rather than the movie.

If you want a character you can REALLY hate, check out 'The Green Mile.' It's definitely not a comedy, but it is considered to be one of the best American movies ever made. I guarantee you will hate Percy Wetmore with a white-hot fury; he makes Tia's shenanigans look like pouting fits.

16:53 I Want A Hatchet! 😂

Don't get this the wrong way but your anger was very entertaining 😅. I even learned a new expression.

RIP to the great John Candy. From second city tv, to blue's brothers, Splash, and every movie since, nothing but great. Planes trains and automobiles, is a must. And of course, both John Hughes movies, which ALL must be watched!

I was the oldest and all I wanted was for my little brother (by 5 years) to leave me alone and to stop trying to provoke me into a reaction which would cause me to get into trouble.

That was delightful, thank you...

Love your reactions

You're graduated to The Great Outdoors also John Candy, add Dan Aykroyd

Girl, i love you. Uou do one movie a week. Please get around to "Patton". The opening scene won an Oscar.

My 2nd fav John Candy movie ever. My top fav is Planes trains and automobiles

Ok so now that you have seen Uncle Buck, do reactions for Summer Rental and The Great Outdoors (if you haven't seen them). Both star John Candy.

3:54 Hey! At Least Shanice Isn't Doing Drugs! And Those Who Own Cars Need Tires! 😠

Your fired up commentary was thoroughly entertaining, thank you! I would like to recommend “One Crazy Summer” (1986)

I feel like the film’s intention of portrayal was that Tia caught Bug cheating with the other girl and left the party in tears. She was vulnerable and upset, but also humbled. At this point I think she realized that not only was Buck right about everything, she now sees that everything he did was done out of love and to protect her. So maybe her 180 was not all that unbelievable. After all that, how could you not throw some respect his way ? Not to mention, they had the bonding experience of getting to terrorize Bug together. 😉

28:14 😢 The Iconic Scene.

I know this and Planes and Trains hit the feels... But Candy in Only the Lonely as the happless romantic alongside the iconic Maureen O'Hara... And the just flat out fun of Armed and Dangerous are my go to's... Also him with Richard Pryor as the ever faithful ride or die friend in Brewster's Millions..

You might be interested in his final movie Wagons East

Wow never seen a reaction like this 😶

21:53 Yes They Do.

6:25 6:50 7:38 8:49

When John Candy waves goodbye at the end, it hurts. It's so easy to quickly judge and focus on Tia and not catch the subtle facts that she was raising the kids and the folks were just existing. She was defensive because she had to be, due to having no one to be there for her and her siblings, until Buck did what no one has ever done for her.

What does "see you next Tuesday" mean? Never heard that one.

15:07 You're One To Talk, Tia! 😠

I can see/tell your parents don't smack you; just an FYI, I'm not one of your parents. Kudos to the girl actor, it's easy to play a likeable character, but you know they're doing a good job when you want to jump in the screen and twat'em round the back of the head! :D I briefly mixed this film up with another from that period that may/should be on your list; one with the other big John, John Goodman. King Ralph! Macauley MacCulkin (as I always refer to him) did these roles really well; definitely had chemistry with Candy! ".... sand in her cooch" lmao!! >XD A Spaceballs reference is always a win!! Having teenagers is the punishment for the things we did as teenagers!! Can't be, otherwise I'd have some!! >XD

4:14 TIA! That's Mean And Harsh! A Low Blow Even For You! 😩

17:13 This Is Why I'm Glad To Be A Girl.

Funny you mentioned you hated lots of characters in the movie so far(18:41-18:43)...Yep, first the Queen, Tia, then the nasty guy at the bowling alley. The drunk clown, and the mean principal.

11:08 😢 That's Sad. 😢

2:18 Who Do You Think Made Tia Start Acting Up Like A B**ch To Begin With?

Love love john candy in the film cool runnings.

1:49 Ouch! 😐

I’d be thrilled if my mom brought home chinese food 💯♥️

13:42 Marcy Needs Professional Help.

16:06 Not Everything Apparently. 😤

Fun movie, meaningful ending. ❤

I think Tia’s attitude is all due to her resenting her parents for forcing her to move.

I couldn't stand the teenage daughter either 🤣🤣🤣 She was by far my least favorite part of the movie!
