The parents are called away on a family emergency, and they leave their sitcom brood in the care of that overgrown (and very fat) child, Uncle Buck. Should anything happen to Mom and Dad on route, a TV series looms as a grim possibility. John Candy has a funny few seconds on the phone, of inability to get a word in edgewise. But not enough of them to sustain an entire television season, or even a ninety-minute movie. With Amy Madigan; written and directed by John Hughes. (1989) — Duncan Shepherd
This movie is not currently in theaters.
