Dutch Uncles - Dutch Uncles

Lets Go Dutch

Advantages: quick, friendly service, huge panckes, good vlue
Disadvantages: Not much on main menu if you don't like pancakes

Pancakes should be simple to make since they are only flour, egg and milk right? Well I do like pancakes and not just on Shrove Tuesday but very rarely make them myself. When I fancy a fix I will go to a pancake house or creperie. I have fond memories of the Pancake Place in Scotland and the now sadly gone Dutch Pancake House in Manchester. Now I am in London I do not have to go without my pancake fix as I have discovered My Old Dutch Pancake House. My Old Dutch Pancake House is a mini chain of Pancake Houses with branches in Holborn Central London, Ealing and Chelsea with a new one in Kensington recently opened. I've only visited the Holborn one but if the others are as good I would happily visit them if I was in the area. The Holborn branch is super easy to find, as it is located on High Holborn just two minutes walk from ...

Review of My Old Dutch, London

Uncle Buck

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Few errors by director

Introduction ~~ I know that this is one hell of a corny film but it does not take away the fact that this is my all-time favourite film, so I do apologize if this is one heck of a biased review. Despite Uncle Buck been rather cheesy it was the film that made Macauley Culkin – a rather forgotten actor now who was once huge. The story is quite predictable and right from the start its quite obvious where the film is going but John Candy adds a quite brilliant charm to the film and provides plenty of humour. Story ~~ Bucks brother Bob played by Garrett M. Browns father in law has a heart-attack so Bob and his wife head to the hospital. Slight problem though, they have three children and its too short notice to call anyone to look after them. So as a last resort Bob and his snobbish wife phone Uncle Buck, the member of their ...

Uncle Buck is coming to town

Advantages: funny throughout
Disadvantages: predicatble

Uncle Buck is one of those films that is repeated on TV regularly, but still one I enjoy no matter how many times I have seen it. ~The Story~ Bob and Cindy Russell (Played by Garrett M. Brown and Elaine Bromka) have recently moved from Indianapolis to Chicago with their three kids, when one night they receive a phone call to say that Cindy's father has had a heart attack. Not really knowing many people in the area, the couple struggle to find someone to babysit their children, 15 year old Tia (Jean Kelly), 8 year old Miles (Macaulay Culkin) and 6 year old Maizy (Gaby Hoffman). Bob suggests his brother Buck, but Cindy point blank refuses as she thinks Buck is too irresponsible. Bob tries to persuade her that Buck is not as bad as she thinks and realising they don't have any other option she reluctantly agrees. Buck (John Candy ...
