Home Alone Movie Review
Watching a modern Christmas Classic
Home Alone is just one of those movies you watch every year once Christmas time rolls around. It's a film that I've loved ever since I was a kid. Fun fact, I watched the second film first, but that review will be for a latter date.
Home Alone follows Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), just your average kid... but when his family forgets him and leaves him... wait for it... home alone... when they take a trip to Paris for Christmas, he must fend off some robbers in the most creative ways possible, so much so that you would not dare cross this kid ever in your life.
Alright, I love this movie, it's fantastic! Macaulay Culkin is fantastic, and this is the film that placed him on the map. The two robbers in the film played by, Joe Pesci as Harry and Daniel Stern as Marv, do a great job as well.
The comedy and heart in this film is done to such a great extent, It makes me want to watch and rewatch this film many times around Christmas. The old style slapstick comedy is pure gold and never ceases to at least get a chuckle out of me. The heart of the film comes in with the message of being with family, even if you are mad at them, they are still family and in the end you still love them.
This is a childhood classic, and like most Christmas films, holds a special place in my heart. If you have kids that haven't seen Home Alone yet, then this is the movie you sit down and watch with them this year.
final score: 4/5
