Uncle Buck

Big heart. Bigger laughs. One unforgettable uncle.

Join Pentangle Cinema for a screening of Uncle Buck (1989), the beloved comedy starring John Candy and directed by John Hughes, as part of our Mondays at the Movies series.

When a family emergency leaves three children in need of a babysitter, their parents turn to the last person anyone would expect: Buck Russell. Unemployed, unpredictable, and gloriously unprepared for responsibility, Buck arrives with his questionable habits, larger-than-life personality, and an unconventional approach to childcare.

As he navigates teenage rebellion, schoolyard trouble, and the everyday chaos of family life, Buck discovers that being there for the people you love sometimes means growing up without losing what makes you yourself.

Funny, heartfelt, and full of classic John Candy moments, Uncle Buck is a reminder that family comes in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of ridiculousness.
