Writer and film-maker John Hughes 
knew how 
to create and develop 
characters... like or not like us...and we got them!
      

John Hughes' movie Uncle Buck (rated #5 on list of 10), a John Candy-arranged birthday fete, got this high-five:

     "...In the John Candy classic, Uncle Buck, this well meaning uncle gives 
little Miles the best birthday he can pull off. The celebration includes 
giant pancakes, lack luster guests, and a hysterical confrontation 
with a boozed up clown... reminds me of how funny 
John Candy was and what a great birthday moment 
he has provided movie goers with!"

Writers know that good stories involve balance, and we can count on a John Hughes film, like Uncle Buck, for pathos and slapstick, easy and intriguing to watch, not easy to do so well.  

Somewhere deep within ourselves... we love this, and this is a big reason for reading wonderful books, watching talented movies!
