Synopsis: When confirmed bachelor Buck Russell (John Candy) is called upon to care for his brother’s kids during an emergency, he finds himself re-evaluating his fear of commitment.
Kitty Cameo: In one scene Uncle Buck is struggling with a feisty black and white cat outside the home. He asks the cat what it’s doing outside yowling and drags the writhing animal into the house.
We hear Buck call to the kids, “Who let the cat out?” “We don’t have a cat!” comes the answer. The front door re-opens and Buck chucks the cat back outside then realizes he has been locked out.
Final Mewsings: You can’t make a house pet out of an unwilling cat.
Many thanks to Erin T. Aardvark for letting us know about the cat in this film.
