this film is abosolutely useless as it isnt funny at all even though some of the lines were good, it still doesnt shine out. it does deserve an appuluad for the cast but they could've made it better

Home Alone review

Posted : 9 months, 1 week ago on 3 November 2007 08:07 (A review of Home Alone)

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!

This film is utterly influential, and in my early years I tried to copy both the traps that Kevin set in the film, as well as masterminding my own ones, much to the chagrin of my parents. I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't wait until December rolls around so I can watch it again.

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 lesiure. Soon enough Kevin runs into trouble as he is left to defend his house from two bumbling burglers Harry and Marv, leaving Kevin and his ready made traps to foil their plans at every curve with fine slastick hilarity.

Easily one of John Hughes best films to date, Home Alone perfectly encapsulates the Christmas spirit from a child's perspective thoughout the film. While Kevins misleading charm allows you to connect with him, you cannot help but pity the burglers (Pesci and Stern) with the brutal buffoonery accounting for a large part of the humour.

Scenes including the 'snakes' conversation and many quote classics makes it a must over christmas, providing PG rated family entertainment deserving the full 5 stars.
