Movie Review: Absolutely Hilarious Exploits of an Eight-year Old Boy
Summary: 5 Stars
This comedy is loaded with ironies. The boy wishes that his family would disappear. For a time, he gets his wish. The boy, Kevin, considered to be incompetent, does exploits far beyond his age. Left alone by a big family who goes to Paris for Christmas, he takes care of the big house, does grocery shopping, and stymies two burglars. The burglars think that they will have an easy time with the boy, but instead get the hassle of their lives. A neighbor man, supposedly a murderer who used his snow shovel to kill his relatives, actually lost his relatives to an old, long-unresolved argument. As a further irony, he uses his snow shovel on the burglars. The mother, thinking that she is a bad parent for having forgotten her own son, learns from the Polka troupe (that is driving her home) that many of its members hardly ever see their children in the first place. Finally, the family, divided by spiteful comments, is brought together in their frantic efforts to return home to Kevin.

Movie Review: Christmas classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The original Home Alone should be included on a list of required holiday viewing up there with "A Christmas Carol," "Charlie Brown," and the rest of the classics.
This became an instant classic (if that isn't an oxymoron) when it was released in 1990. Hard to believe 15 years have passed since this movie's release but the comedy contained within is timeless.
The premise is very well-known by now, having been described by almost everyone who has written a review here on Amazon. For those few souls unfamiliar with it, they can get a glance by looking at the plot description on the back of the VHS box or DVD case.
The only thing I can say about Home Alone is it will keep your attention from start to finish and try not to wet yourself when you see what happens to Daniel Stern's character.
Home Alone is especially enjoyable watching over the holidays but it's a year-round classic.
Movie Review: It's a family comedy, without the family!
Summary: 5 Stars
In this enjoyable Chismas Comedy Classic, viewers are introduced to the Kevin- the youngest child of the Mcallister family. Being an 8 year old, Kevin is continuously bullied and treated unrespectfully by his older brother- Buzz, and all the other kids in his family. The holiday-tradition for the Mcallisters every holiday, is that they leave home with their cousin-family, who are equally rude to him as his own family are. Kevin is annoyed and angry, and wishes that he never had a family. Watch out Kevin, your wish just might come true.
It is on the morning of the Mcallister holiday, that Kevin's wish comes true. He is left at home, he has the whole house to himself! But trouble begins to brew when sleazy robbers- Marv and Harry 'the wet bandits' plan to rob his house, Keving is in hot water. This hilarious comedy-film will show you that children in some ways, are as superior to adults.
Movie Review: An Offbeat Holiday Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I have to say, I am a bit biased in my review of this film, since 1) I LOVE CHRISTMAS and 2)I grew up on it. I think a lot of under-30s love "Home Alone" because it's one of those nostalgic 90's movies. Home Alone is probably best appreciated by young adults who watched it throughout their childhood OR by kids under 12. HAVING SAID THAT...it still rocks!!! Home Alone is a funny, cute, silly, cheesy, delightful, feel-good holiday classic with an offbeat sense of humor. It'll leave you with a warm n' fuzzy feeling, but it's not syrupy-sweet. Overall, Home Alone = HEARTWARMING & HILARIOUS!!!
* If you like Home Alone, check out the sequel - it's good, even though it can't hold a candle to the original. But please, stay away from the other follow-ups...it ain't Home Alone without Macauley.
