Uncle Buck (1989)

Edit this Page
John Hughes Director previously directed She's Having a Baby

Leaving the house to look after her sick father, Cindy is forced to settle for whatever babysitter she can find. As a last resort, she calls in Uncle Buck, a far from reliable bachelor.

Quote: Buck

[into the phone] Hey, Bobby we should really get together sometime. I haven't been over at the new house since you moved. By the way, I want to apologize for last year at your old house... about those bushes. I had no idea they all would catch on fire like that. You were right. I should never have put the barbeque grill that close.
