Celluloid Heroes

Martin Lawrence has had an interesting road, going from a bit of the wild side to this relatively tame film that's perhaps even a little too sappy even for the Disney crowd.

When family has an unexpected health problem (like a heart attack) in the middle of the night, and you need to check on them, you may need family to help out. You can't just leave the kids with neighbors, or call someone to watch them. Enter Uncle Buck.

Buck Russell (John Candy) is the relative that no one likes to admit they have, and he just happens to be the one who might happen to come through when you need someone the most. Sure, he's a bit rough around the edges, but no one can make pancakes like Uncle Buck.
