A Pleasure To Enjoy

When I was learning the ways of the world, I often wondered if my family was a typical family. Then comes the first time you meet with the other half of the family that you often heard about but weren't sure that they existed. This is such a tale. UB is the typical underachiever with a heart of gold that kids love but adults find worrisome. Uncle Buck isn't searching for anything in life and is happy to just enjoy life and spread his simple likes with friends and his goal oriented girlfriend. When his girlfriend's plans for him to get a job he's not excited about are interrupted by his desperate brother's need for someone to watch his kids while he goes to a funeral with his wife, this is buck's excuse to delay the job decision. Buck soon learns that responsibility and pleasure sometimes collide.
The supporting cast include Jean Louisa Kelly (Yes, Dear), Macaulay Culkin, Amy Madigan (Oscar Award nominee), and Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne).
