I first viewed this classic in 96, and forever improved my xmas film guide

The film revolves around Kevin (Macaulay Culkin)and his family who are set on a Christmas vacation to France. The trip, however, looses appeal with Kevin, who wishes for his family to simply disappear. When the family unwittingly leave him behind, he is delighted with spending the festival season at his own l... read more

This film formed an absolutely essential part of my childhood. It is pure clean family fun. I dig this out at least once every year at christmas just to watch and laugh at. The iconic pairing of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci is a coupling that should go down in film history as one of the best ever!

Highly enjoyable Christmas classic!

"I made my family disappear..."

Written by the late great John Hughes, Home Alone is a Christmas film in a more superficial sense of the term. After all, the movie may be set during the festive season, but it plays out as a comedy with action and adventure elements as opposed to being a straight-up Christmas film.

My Guilty Pleasures (8 movies items)

"This movie would have been an instant Holiday classic if the script was plausible and had more logical substance. The booby traps that are set up can be childish and unrealistic at times, but I still laugh at them."

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"When Kevin’s parents discover they’ve forgotten him, they find it impossible to get anyone to follow through on their panicked calls – if anyone did so, the movie would be over. The plot is so implausible that it makes it hard for us to really care about the plight of the kid. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Hughes, though, can’t resist turning Home Alone into a sadistic festival of adult-bashing. When Kevin is set upon by a pair of bumbling thieves (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), the k"
