Buchwacked is a kids film that has appropriated the premises from several other films, including Home Alone, Uncle Buck, and Bad News Bears among others. While not original is a fun piece of mindless entertainment. Scoundrel Max Grabelski who can't stand kids is on the lamb from the cops. Hiding out in a forest, he is forced to take command as a Boy Scout troop. This is another Scout film where the Scouts are not called Scouts and fo not wear the official uniform. In this typical kids film, all kinds of terrible things happen to the bad guys, but no one really gets hurt.
