This was another classic movie from John Hughes. It starts out as Bob, the father in the family, is dealt with an unfortunate crisis. He can't seem to find a babysitter to watch the kids, so low and behold he contacts his brother Buck (John Candy). Buck is more than happy to take on the task, and with that comes a whole set of problems and mishaps you won't want to miss. The development of Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly) is amazing and heartwarming to watch from beginning to end. My absolute favorite scene in the movie is when Buck goes to visit his niece Maizy's principal and he tells her where to go. I love watching Uncle Buck and it always puts me in a good mood! John Candy was a comedic genius and talent and makes this movie very fun and enjoyable.

This movie Some Kind of Wonderful is my absolute, favorite movie! It came out right before I graduated high school, so I can relate to it. Eric Stoltz is excellent as Keith Nelson coming from the wrong side of the tracks and he falls for the popular and beautiful Lea Thompson, Miss Amanda Jones who only has eyes for rich and stuck-up Hardy Jenns, Craig Sheffer. Mary Stuart Masterson steals the whole movie as Keith's sidekick "Watts" his only best friend. The supporting cast is also fantastic. I loved the triangle and the dynamic explored between Keith, Watts, and Amanda throughout the movie. This was an awesome movie from beginning to end, but my favorite part had to be right after the party scene and of course the classic line "You look good wearing my future." Another superb one from John Hughes.

I remember watching this in the movie theater with my parents and then getting it on VHS. Henry Fonda as Norman and Katharine Hepburn as Ethel were excellent. Jane Fonda was also great as Chelsea, the daughter. It explores the rocky relationship between Norman and Chelsea and how they both mature and work to overcome it. My mother loved this movie up until her death and she used to quote Hepburn "It's me you old poop". I will cherish the times I had watching this movie with her. Doug McKeon as Billy the son also did a great job. This was Henry Fonda's last movie sadly before he died. His Oscar was very well deserved. This was an excellent, heartwarming movie! I never get tired of watching it.
