Title: The importance of being an uncle
Product review: This movie seems frivolous on the surface, but I consider it a very significant statement about how important the role of an uncle (or aunt) in the life of a child can be. It is an object lesson, both for parents and uncles/aunts on the influence of extended family for good or ill. It also happens to star one of my all-time favorite performers, the late John Candy, in one the hilarious and heart-tugging roles for which I think he is best remembered.The only reason I gave this film 4 stars instead of 5 is because of what i consider excessive use of profanity. Some of it is actually appropriate and even clever in the way it's handled with the younger children. But a lot of it is just annoying and makes the writers seem unimaginative.Still, I highly recommend this film.
