Summary: Still ripping us off
Review: Dont get this low rating confused with the movies. I've rated it no stars because it is again another rip off from 20th. Here's why...
This is about the 100th box set of all 4 'Home Alone' films together. And like all of the previous sets, they have ignored the fact that the first 2 movies where the best, the first Home Alone is a 4 or 5 star comedy, and part 2 wasnt as good, but it's still ok. The first 2 where smash hits, and great movies, you might even call them classics. But where poorly misstreated when they where brought to DVD. First off, there in Fullscreen, not Widescreen, they dont look like they have been remastered too good. And there is no bonus features apart from a trailer.
Why is there no bonus features with home alone 1 & 2? There is plenty to put on them, there where heaps of featurettes done when both of the films came out, so where are those now? And why isnt there any reunion footage, or audio commentery or something? The trailer also shows clearly that there is a few deleted scenes and alternate takes or extended scenes... so where is all that stuff? Why is it the only disc with bonus features is part 3 and 4. Part 4 was ok, but no where near as good as the other 2, and part 4, god, dont get me started on how bad that movie was. Yet they fill the 2 useless ones with heaps of bonus features, but cant go find the bonus features you would actualy want to see.
Dont bother buying this box set. Unless you dont care that there are no bonus features, and you just want the movie's themself, then ok, by this. or wait a few months for another box set edition to come out thats just a different cover on the box.
20th century have got to release the first 2 with the much awaited bonus features, other wise, well, there what the French call, Les Incompidont.

Summary: The Complete Collection
Review: Home Alone is one of my favorite movies. In this box you get all four movies in widescreen, plus trailors for the first three. Here's a rundown of my thoughts on each movie:
#1: Great movie. Well acted and a simple storyline.
#2: The perfect sequel. The original cast returns and gives another great performance.
#3: A change in the cast lineup. Plot becomes more complex. Bad guys are smarter. Still a great movie.
#4: What happened? Though not a bad movie, it completely changes the storyline.
My personal favorite of the series is the third one. These are great movies, and this boxed set is a really good buy.

Summary: One of my favorite child hood movies
Review: I can remember the awesome sensation that was Home Alone. I can remeber goind and seeing it theater so many times. All the fans that love the movie as much I as do can all be happy because it's finally out on DVD.Home Alone tells the story of Kevin McCallister. He's one of the youngest memebers of the McCallister family and he gets a lot of crap put on him. The family is planning on going to Florida for a special Christmas. He is left home by accident. The McCallister neighborhood is being hit by robbers. The robbers know the McCallister's are in Florida and plan on taking the house. Will Kevin be able to stop the thieves or will they rob his house? You'll just have to watch that and find out. Macaulay Culkin is awesome in the movie. It's one of the best movies he ever did, and for a while he was a house hold name in the early 90's. He did such a good job playing Kevin. After watching it I think half the kids in America wanted to be left Home Alone to see if they could stop bad guys. I know I did. Joe Pecsi is funny in the movie. I think it's one of the better roles he ever did. He doesn't do a lot of family films. Joe will leave you in tears as you see him and his partner endure the beating they take. Home Alone is a great family film. It's a great christmas film. Every kid in the world should see this movie. I love this film and am glad it's on DVD in this special eddition. I garuntee your family will love it.
