Uncle Buck: 35th Anniversary- john Candy Is Still One Of The Greats
Quick Take: A John Hughes classic. Back in September, when I first watched this with audio description, it was fun getting to enjoy John Candy again. Of course, this movie also introduced us to Macaulay Culkin, and was the reason Hughes recommended him for Home Alone. But, it does feel like we had such a brief period with john Candy, a thoughtful comedian who likely would have gone on to pursue the same dramatic swings as robin Williams. I think we never truly got the best of Candy, but the warm up. Still, there are several classics he left behind, and one of them is this 80’s gem where he plays the last person, or maybe the best person, to watch your kids in a pinch. The audio description was good enough, and honestly, we have such a long way to go in terms of bringing classics to audio description. At least this one is there, and it was human.
