-
Uncle Buck needs to be smarter, funnier, and, honestly, a different show. Epps too deserves better.
-
Uncle Buck offers a relative minimum of offensiveness, very few laughs, only hints at Epps' actual capabilities and runs a decent cast through stories you've seen done better on countless sitcoms.
-
Epps is deprived of the sort of good writing that would showcase his talent well.
-
Uncle Buck isn't the worst thing ever, but it is predictable and pat, going down all the expected avenues. It's entirely skippable.
-
The most unsettling thing about Uncle Buck is how beige and flavorless the whole thing is, as if anyone could have been cast in it with no discernible effect on the final product.
-
There's a rigidity to the entire production, the unmistakable feeling of a series that was market-tested to death in every predictable plot turn, and every rote, over-written joke.
-
Uncle Buck is a cheap knockoff in every sense, both of the movie and of better sitcoms, and is the latest 80s remake nobody wanted to begin with.
-
The new Uncle Buck has a lot in common with the old version. They both, well, suck. ABC's sitcom is not funny. It's unoriginal and tedious.
