UNCLE BUCK (1989) returns to the silver screen for Street Roots! All proceeds from this benefit screening go to Street Roots and their work reducing barriers to income for individuals experiencing homelessness through journalism and advocacy.
Directed by John Hughes, UNCLE BUCK follows the misadventures that happen when Cindy (Elaine Bromka) and her husband, Bob (Garrett M. Brown), entrust their three kids to Bob's lazy, carefree brother, Buck (John Candy). While he immediately gets along with the two younger children (Gaby Hoffman and Macaulay Culkin), Buck must change his bachelor lifestyle if he wants to be a responsible caregiver for the angst-filled teenager, Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly). Featuring one of John Candy's most memorable performances, UNCLE BUCK is a hilarious classic.
