very solid John Hughes comedy, with an excellent turn by John Candy, and little Macaulay Culkin stealing scenes like there’s no tomorrow.

The only problem I had with the film was the casting of the parents. They seemed not great choices for these roles, and come across as entire blanks, just there for plot purposes only.

I really enjoyed the whole UB terrifying the pushy boyfriend, and the scene where he’s talking to the vice-principle and can’t focus on anything but the wart on her chin.

Very enjoyable watch though. And I like UB’s hat.
