Uncle Buck
“He's crude. He's crass. He's family.”
ComedyDramaFamily
Buck Russell, a lovable but slovenly bachelor, suddenly becomes the temporary caretaker of his nephew and nieces after a family emergency. His freewheeling attitude soon causes tension with his older niece Tia, loyal girlfriend Chanice, and just about everyone else who crosses his path.
VIBE
Uncle Buck feels like a warm, boisterous hug from a slightly unhinged relative. It's a nostalgic journey into 80s family chaos, blending slapstick charm with genuine heart. Expect a lighthearted, character-driven romp that's both funny and surprisingly sweet, perfect for a cozy night in.
