That last frame of John Candy always makes me tear up.

[@Ecosse57]

yup.

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

Same here. Something about it combined with the music and his niece smiling at him, always gets me.

[@jamieduncan6346]

Me too

[@michele36618]

Yep. It always brings a tear to my eye 😢

[@Maximus21x]

They also did that in Trains Planes and Automobiles. It is sad that we lost him too soon, he was such a wonderful person.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

John Candy was the world's favourite Uncle. Since he died that last shot of him waving always gets me. Left us way too soon

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

Oh man, he totally reminded me of my wonderful step dad and an uncle I grew up with. Dad looked, was built like, and acted a lot like him. My uncle looked nothing like him, but was just crazy enough that the kids adored him, the men liked him, and the women were just kind of appalled at him 😏👍. Every John Candy movie was like a family get together for me. I can't hardly watch the final scenes from Buck and Planes, Trains and, Automobiles. He looks just like daddy in both. 😭

[@richwagener]

That last freeze on John Candy’s face brought a tear to my eye. Growing up with him on SCTV and his movies. He was very special to my generation. Especially outcast teenagers like myself.

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

ME TOO

[@magnificentfailure2390]

I used to watch SCTV when I was babysitting hooker's kids. Really. I could make $40 in one night, in 1980! For a 16-year-old, that was serious cash. My twisted sense of humor owes a lot to John Candy.

[@sexyambrosia1974]

I agree ...the same for me ...

[@Malryth]

Same here. RIP John.

[@loristone9242]

Same 😢He was HILARIOUS in Stripes as well. Guys like him aren't the outcasts-everyone else is, and they just don't know it. I still feel sad about his passing, even today. But he lives on through the laughter he still brings to past, current and future generations. 💔/💖

[@penname5766]

John Hughes wrote Uncle Buck - AND he wrote Home Alone; Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; Planes, Trains and Automobiles; all the National Lampoon’s movies; The Breakfast Club; Weird Science, Pretty in Pink etc etc. Basically most of the films that defined the 80s. He was a genius.

[@davestang5454]

I wouldn't go that far. He wrote most of the films of that particular genre at that time that defined the era. There were other great comedies at that time that were more of an "mature" nature and there were iconic franchises like the "Indiana Joes" movies.

[@Weber408]

He did write home alone but gave it to another director. Chevy Chase was the cause of that in the making of Christmas vacation.

[@taylemgames2652]

John Candy is probably one of the most (if not the most) beloved comedian in the US and Canada in the mid-late 80s and early 90s until his untimely death. Everyone loved him, from normal people to critics to his fellow actors. Losing him was a real punch in the gut. I still remember, being around 17 ... my Mom coming into my room to tell me he had died.

[@karicastanza5216]

Yeah, I remember. I actually cried! I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him. His laugh is everything!

[@thebluecollarbibleguy5114]

It was all the talk at my high school my senior year the day he died. He does not get enough credit.

[@Metal0sopher]

They need to watch Brewster's Millions.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Lost him way too soon and despite trying, Chris Farley was no John Candy. Candy always had a sense of warmth in his characters. There was always a redeeming value in sticking with him.

[@subwaygoddess1]

@@HRConsultant_Jeff I still get sad when I see John Candy in a film. I miss him.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

The way he handles Tia at the end is a testament on how to earn respect of a teenager who is between childhood and adulthood. He respected her boundaries while also protecting her by any means necessary. He also appealed to her on an intellectual level by asking for her relationship advice. I was an angsty teenager myself, and everything changed when my parents started treating me like a man. We became fast friends after that.

[@LisaMarieD]

This is my favourite John Candy movie!!!! I have seen it so many times. That last freeze frame with him waving gets me every time since we lost him too soon! He was one of our Canadian treasures!!!

[@Scott-ec4cs]

I have never seen my dad laugh as hard watching a movie. For that reason, this movie will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

I’m glad y’all enjoyed Uncle Buck! Such a good movie. You can’t go wrong with a John Hughes film nor John Candy.

John Candy's portrayal of "Uncle Buck" is one of the funniest characters ever. Such a great actor.🇨🇦 Love him and miss him. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

That teenager deserves an award for her acting as a rebelious teenager awesome acting amazing, in fact everyone in this movie deserves an award, the caring from buck the hard work trying and doing a tremendous job and that building of trust from the rebelious teenager, my favourite movie of all time hands down

[@jancw]

Macaulay Culkin "He's so cute in every single movie he's been in." Somebody needs to see *"The Good Son"*

[@xzonia1]

LOL. Yeah, his acting was fantastic in that movie, but they won't be saying he's cute! :D

[@daneoman1000]

Shows he is a good actor

[@gordondafoe3516]

The last frame of the movie always makes me smile, because that was what John Candy did in real life. I had the pleasurer of meeting him a few times before he passed. The first time, he was in a recording studio, when he and his mother and brother Jim enjoyed the session in the recording booth (they were long time friends of the guitarist Mike McKenna). We went back to the Candy home down the street to moms' where the boys grew up. Mom gave me the house tour of their modest East Toronto home. The 2nd time, I serviced John's lawn for a spring weed and feed. He almost crapped his pants when I introduced myself, and gave me the 25 cent tour, (along with a few beers). John Candy was the real, genuine deal. RIP brother.

[@peterdawes1868]

Absolutely one of the best movies ever made. You are sorely missed, John Candy. R.I.P.

[@middleamerica646]

The genius of John Hughs… Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Planes,Trains, and Automobiles, Some Kind of Wonderful, Home Alone 1 and 2, Mr. Mom, Pretty in Pink, and of course, Uncle Buck to name a few… RIP John. Your moving making has defined generations.

[@ZillaMesh]

John Candy is one of the greatest comedic actors of the 80s. EVERYBODY loved him. I don't know 1 person in my life that didn't like him. What a loss when he died. Uncle Buck is one of his best roles too, so glad you enjoyed it(had no doubt you would).

[@kenqb5450]

Another great John Hughes movie. Of course it looks like the Home Alone house, they were filmed in the same community. The neighbor woman who invited Uncle Buck to lunch is Laurie Metcalf, she was in the TV show Rosanne.

[@daniellongo7611]

A dear friend, who's passed, and an acting teacher from long ago are in this sweet film. I hope you enjoyed it.❤❤❤

[@NavvyMom]

Care to share who?

[@SherriLyle80s]

@@NavvyMom probably just extras. I was an extra in a Disney film in the 90s but they don't give credits to extras. It was just fun to do.

[@NavvyMom]

@@SherriLyle80s Yes, you're probably right, but it would be interesting and fun to try to pick them out if Daniel could say which scene(s) they were in. I know a guy who used to do that, he even had a SAG card even though he was only ever an extra. If you ever saw Witness, his coat is in the scene at 30th Street Station. He got all made up to be a ghost in a window of an abandoned hospital in The Sixth Sense, but they cut that scene from the finished film. He was in a few other ones that I can't remember. As you said, it was fun for him. He encouraged us to do it, but we never had time. I know they only give credits for speaking lines. Hey, what film were you in? Would we be able to do a "Where's Waldo"? (Unless you'd rather not say of course.)

[@bellodrade]

No one like John Candy. He was good in everything he did. From Second City all the way to 'Canadian Bacon' he never stopped giving laughs and true moments of poignancy. A real Canadian treasure.

[@denisetinto1828]

Another quality Canadian actor/comedian. RIP John Candy. He was someone special.

[@stretch4872]

That wave goodbye from John Candy is hard to see since his passing. I'm sure others have mentioned it but Planes, Trains and Automobiles is absolutely brilliant. Another top notch performance by Candy with another comedy genius Steve Martin. They play off each other so well. It's a great one too watch during the holidays, esp. thanksgiving. Enjoyed your parental perspective on this reaction. I could see the tension when the creeps were bothering the older sister at the bowling alley. I think he let them off too easy.

[@trudieristich795]

Yes John Hughes great great'80s movies they were always good he was well known for good movies

[@leoda_lion4107]

RIP John Candy. His comedy is sorely missed. The dude had heart. The last good movie he did before his passing which also was funny was Cool Runnings. When I found he passed after watching the Great Outdoors with him and Dan Akroyd it was such a gut punch, because he is such a likeable guy. John Hughes directed this movie, and he grew up in Chicago, you see his stamp on all his movies like Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club, and this one. He was a huge part of 80s nostalgia.

[@telebender]

+1 for "The Great Outdoors". If you guys liked this movie, then you'll very likely like it...same kind of heart & humour. All I can say is the raccoons make the movie!

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

So totally agree with "The Great Outdoors". One of my all time favorites.

[@floyd2222]

sorry for shouting; TRAINS, PLANES & AUTOMOBILES!!!!! pleeeeeeease. y'all will LOVE IT!!

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

Yep John Candy was awesome RIP, but who the heck recommended this movie?? I remember this movie being so dumb, my girfriend and I left before halfway through. This is the only John Candy movie that I don't own on dvd or bluray. Summer Rental was so much funnier.

[@chrisharris5497]

I'm still sad to this day that the world was deprived of John Candy so early. I don't think I've ever seen a bad movie with him in, he would have gone on and had an incredible catalogue of good movies. I'm just glad we got the films we did from him, The Great Outdoors is another classic to watch along with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. RIP John.

[@KaleidoscopeMagic]

*PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES* !!!! Watch this one as soon as possible!!

[@franst4595]

I was born in 75 and it's so fun to watch people get a kick out of the movies I grew up with. Uncle Buck is a classic, I would admire it more but I couldn't even fit it thought the door.

[@technopirate304]

I actually had an Uncle Buck. He was my grandmother’s brother. For years we just knew him as Uncle Buck and he also always wore a fedora. It was only after he passed away a decade or so back that I found out his real name was Mark.

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

I had an uncle Charlie that was a lot like this Buck. My dad was too...and looked and was built like him and from the part of the country his characters were often from.... even had an Elmer Fud fur hat 😁.

[@kenpaden]

Great reaction, a few more good John Candy movies are " Cool Runnings" about the 1988 Jamaican Bob Sleigh team, its based on a true story, John plays the coach, it is a great underdog story similar to Rocky 1. A great film to watch around Thanksgiving is "Planes Trains and Automobiles" it stars John and Steve Martin, its about a couple of guys trying to get home during thanksgiving. , and last but not least is " The Great Outdoors' starring John and Dan Akroyd, its basically about a family relationships set in the outdoors.

Uncle Buck aka John Candy was a comedy acting legend. You can watch any of his movies and you will be laughing so hard that you are going to pee yourself. He has truly been missed. None of this new generation of comic actors can come close to the natural comedic genius of John Candy.

[@pattyestrada6]

Yes the little sister is from “Field of Dreams” she’s played by actress Gabby Hoffman, who also comes out in “Now and Then” which is sort of like “Stand By Me” but with a female cast. Y’all should check it out, for when you’re in the mood for another coming of age movie.

[@shawnj1966]

Planes Trains and Automobiles, is my favorite film of his but this is my favorite with him in the sole starring role. I have been a fan of his since the SCTV days. Great comedic actor that passed away far too soon!

[@gripanimal]

"Adventures in Babysitting" is another great 80's teen comedy.

[@gripanimal]

"Nobody leaves without singing the blues." Lol!! Sure, a bit unrealistic, but most movies push that line to keep audience interest.

[@kenfrary]

Uncle Buck...an all time classic! Another one you should check out is My Girl.

[@darthtwelve4398]

I was born in 77 and walking to the local video store and renting ANY John Candy movie then spending the next 48 hours watching it as much as possible was the definition of fun in the mid to late 80’s.

I've been recommending 'Uncle Buck' to people for 30+ years. A lot of people have never heard of it. I'll never forget seeing it for the first time with my dad, when it was released in theaters in '89. We (and everybody in attendance) knew we were seeing an instant, timeless classic. I'm so glad you two finally got to experience this potent combination of John Candy's brilliant acting and John Hughes' incredible writing/directing. Cheers!

The Kind of uncle you'd like to come and hang out with, even though you hate him at first, he turns out to be a cool guy at the end.

[@odinsahn7648]

John Candy is one of the reasons I'm proud to be Canadian. I was 9 when he passed in 94 and it still stings. A really genuine and loveable guy like him to just pass away that young always hurts but at least we had him for a while. I love Uncle Buck and most of his films but my favourite is The Great Outdoors, still makes me laugh and I've seen it countless times. Do yourselves a favour and watch that next and if you want a serious role, he has a small part in JFK.

[@adnap]

Uncle Buck was the template for Home Alone. The idea to make Home Alone came to fruition from some of the basic concepts of this film.

[@davestang5454]

I like this much more than "Home Alone" and it's much more realistic..

John Candy was such a treasure in the movies. I've watched this movie, gosh, many times and still enjoy it. RIP John Candy...you are sorely missed. You guys need to review another movie he was in called "Summer Rental".

[@johnreed9415]

One his best movies ever. I couldn't imagine any other actor in this role.

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

I think John Goodman would've been suitable too, but JC really did make his characters HIS. I always felt like he put A LOT of himself into the roles. His characters were pretty much just different aspects of the same guy. That's why I really think you could actually feel like you knew him. Imagine him as your next door neighbor or a family member 😁👍.

[@amishgirl1000]

John candy at his absolute best, love this guy. A real gentleman.

[@ryanfeit1420]

The little boy if course is Macauley Culkin who would became a huge star one year later in "Home Alone". He's basically playing Kevin McCallister in this film but he is hilarious and cute and more than holds his own against John Candy (In which this could be his best role). That lady playing Shanice was in "Field Of Dreams". Her name is Amy Madigan and she again plays a snappy and feisty character in "Uncle Buck" who I just love. She is mostly a character actress but she starred in a few big movies like "Uncle Buck" in the late 1980's and early 1990's. It's too bad that her career never took off. She is a really talented actress.

Anyway, another great movie featuring John Candy is 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' from 1987. IMHO, this is one of the best movies of all time. It's also generally regarded as a Thanksgiving movie, so it may be one that you may want to react to around the Thanksgiving season (or any time actually).

I'm 30 now, and I still love watching the film every once in a while. It brings a tear to my eye when I see the end scene with John Candy waving good-bye, for reasons of loving him and the movie bringing back memories I hold dear.

And a lot of what people miss about the 80's is John Hughes, I mean no one carried the torch after he died. No one writes teenagers like he could. And you gotta love the atmosphere in his films because they're all shot in Chicago..which just feels more authentic than the usual California.

John Candy was a phenomenal comedian. He's been in so many classic comedies from the 1980s and early '90s. Uncle Buck we actually just recently got a chance to watch in the theaters again It was just as hilarious as the first time I saw my sons who are young men found it completely hilarious. One of my sons I promised him he was going to be just like him I'm sure of it. I'm sure you will love this film. Check out a lot more of his starring roles when you get a chance one of my favorites is summer rental, Cool runnings, and only the lonely

[@papamaniac2410]

Got to add "Stripes". That is a classic. He was just a side character but was so good. Also stars Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Judge Reinhold.

18:15: One imitation of 'shaving Tia's head while she sleeps' and the teenager's like, "Okay, okay I'm coming!"

[@fscottgray9784]

You would love The Great Outdoors with John and Dan Ackroid.

[@WojMoj]

Yup!

[@twilarolff8021]

Yes!

[@poguemom3]

Another favorite John Candy movie of mine is “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”. He was such a funny, talented actor!

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction you two! 😊 RIP always to funnyman John Candy. This is one of my all-time favorite John Candy films. And it's definitely one of my top go-to comedies. Other than the original 1984 "The Karate Kid", I very highly recommend the 1988 John Candy movie "The Great Outdoors". Looking forward to your next music and movie reactions. 😊

[@jbeannie90]

Yes...I love The Great Outdoors!!

[@spike3082]

Yes John Candy and Dan Akroyd were perfect in that movie

[@seanmikhael1767]

"Buck Melanoma, Moley Russell's wart." 😂Best line in all of cinema.

[@alexbrunner1900]

John Candy is great in every movie he was in. One of the funniest people in movies 😂

[@Sabrina79]

Uncle Buck is one of my all-time favorites! 😂

[@paulpeacock1181]

The actress who plays Tia the teenage daughter is an amazing singer. Her name is Jean Louise Kelly and you should check her rendition of Someone To Watch Over Me on Female Friday, or you can see her sing in the movie Mr Holland’s Opus. It is a very good movie about teaching.

[@chriswhinery925]

Upvoting cause they should definitely react to Mr. Holland's Opus, that's a great movie.

[@luvaboy772]

'Uncle Buck' is a WHOLE vibe! This was the first movie my mom and aunt rented when we first got a VCR in late 1990.

[@omar174th6]

I miss John Candy, great actor, funny dude. He died too young.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

I remember seeing this in a theatre with an incredible sound system. The bass from Tone Loc's song was INSANE...you could feel it not just hear it.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Enjoyed your reactions. I was born in 1972. Senses or humor, in the 1980s, was very different than today. We didn't see an issue laughing at insults or putdowns or even violent comedy. Not sure why. That's just how it was. 🤘😎🤘

[@jbeannie90]

YES!! I totally agree. I was born in Dec 1971 & growing up in the 70's & 80's was awesome!!

[@KyleReeseCel2029]

Some have been conditioned by the loud sjw's in school to react offended if the minority of sjw's are offended. Conformity.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

@@KyleReeseCel2029 Exactly. I really like this couple and their reactions, and there's nothing wrong with being kind or socially aware, but the modern day level of social justice seems to have programmed an entire generation to automatically be offended or humourless over the tiniest of things. I don't think I've ever met a person who hasn't laughed their ass off at the 'get a rat to gnaw that thing off' line, yet new generations have been brainwashed into being too scared to laugh.

[@heronpage3883]

@@SirHilaryManfat Exactly! I mean it's broad comedy, it's not real life. I was shocked that the reaction was "That's so disrespectful" I saw this in the theatre and we laughed til we cried at that line.

[@phillyphan1225]

My brother and I still use that line-so funny!!

[@MelodicEntity]

You guys are so much fun to watch with! I actually saw this movie in the theater back in 1989 (I was about 10 years-old!) Keep up the great work!

[@michaellincoln3739]

The loss of great comedian actor John Candy at a relatively young age was a tragedy to the world. He had so many more movies to make. We still miss him.

[@loganmaximus2160]

After punching out the drunk clown guy: "Uncle Buck can watch our kids anytime!" LOVE IT!

[@edwardmeade]

Rob has the best line in the entire video: "we didn't hit him a lot". 🤣

[@xzonia1]

😁

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

No, best line was Uncle Buck....take this quarter and go downtown and have a rat naw that thing off your face! LMAO

[@matthewcox9821]

The scene with the Principal was IMHO one of the greatest comedic scenes.
