Why Uncle Buck Hits Even Harder in Your 30s
I never pass up a chance to talk about Uncle Buck. It might just be John Candy’s most iconic role—a perfect blend of heart, humor, and chaos. Directed by the legendary John Hughes, the 1989 film tells the story of Buck, a fun-loving, commitment-avoiding uncle who’s suddenly left in charge of his brother’s three kids: a surly teen and her two younger, more lovable siblings.
But rewatching Uncle Buck in my 30s? It hits different.
As a kid, I laughed at his wild antics and total lack of filter. But now? I relate to him. I don’t have a perfect career, a carefully curated life, or a five-year plan I’m confidently following. Like Buck, I’m figuring it out one day at a time—sometimes stumbling, often improvising.
What makes Uncle Buck so timeless isn’t just the laughs—it’s his authenticity. He may not have it all together, but he shows up. He loves hard. He protects the people he cares about. And he does it all while being unapologetically himself.
In a world that pressures us to have everything figured out, Uncle Buck reminds us that showing up as you are is more than enough.
