Nightcaps At The Theater

  Hide your best “unbreakable” china, and pray that your washing machine is in working order. Mommy and Daddy are out of town and the only thing they left for us to watch was John Hughes’s 1989 comedy Uncle Buck.

John Candy…really?  He may be a bit of a slob, and his car may be just be a death trap, and he may threaten to dismember our boyfriends with a hatchet…but he really doesn’t seem like that bad of a guardian.

Chanice or “Shadynasty?” Garbage Lunch Trades = Strange Cuts Laurie Metcalf…
