Product Description

From Amazon.com

Now and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house. A bit wooden with dialogue, the then-little star's voice could grate on the nerves (especially in long, wise-child passages of pure bromide), but he unquestionably carries the film. Billie Bird and John Candy show up as two of the interesting strangers Culkin's character meets. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are entertainingly cartoonish as thieves, but the ensuing violence once the little hero decides to keep them out of his house is over-the-top. --Tom Keogh

Description

Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight! Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!

If that kid screamed one more time, I really might have had to hurt him. I truly didn't like this movie - but it's just me. I don't care for The Three Stooges, either, and this was just like one of their skits: gag after gag after gag. But that's not all that bugged me. I like Robin Williams and his gags, but there's a message behind his films. A point. A moral. Home Alone was just plain stupid. Kids, yeah, kids would like it, but I can't imagine a thinking, intelligent adult deigning to spend an evening watching this hogwash.

This review is from: Home Alone (Widescreen) (DVD)
It is the Christmas Season and the family is going to France for the duration. Everything is packed, checked, and checked twice. They are off.

But wait what is this still in bead? Yep it is eight year-old Kevin (Macaulay Culkin.) Now after realizing he is alone the fact that it could be fun sinks in. The only thing he has to watch out for is the mysterious neighbor (Roberts Blossom) that seems to be eyeing him. Yeah right. The fun thing about Christmas is it attracts wet bandits (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.)

Now the contest begins between the bandits (in Wile E. Coyote style) are wanting in the house and Kevin (in the Road Runner style) holding them off.

Who will win and will his mother find a unique way to return in time?

5.0 out of 5 stars Home Alone, July 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Home Alone (Widescreen) (DVD)
This is a great family film. You will laugh and laugh when you see keven (macaulay culkin) jumping for joy that his family is not at his house, but when robbers try to brake in the house he starts to see that he really wants his family. This will make the kids laugh seeing growns up laughing. This truely is a great movie!
