Summary: Kid Defends "His Castle" Against Team of Crooks
Review: "Home Alone" is a slap stick roller coaster ride that should be great fun to kids. -- When Kevin McAlister gets tired of being bossed around by his family, he wishes they would all disappear. He gets his wish, because they leave on a family vacation to Paris, and in their haste forget all about Kevin. There have been a series of burglaries in the neighborhood, and the McAlister residence is next on the target list. Keenly aware that the two burgelars are "bad guys", Kevin sets a chain of boobie-traps into action, determined to protect the family mansion. In the meantime, his mother exhausts all channels to get back to her son. -- The film is very entertaining, while having many touching moments as well. The scene where an old man reunites with his family after years of not speaking will move you to tears! This film is still mainly for kids, but they will love it!

Summary: Home Alone is the best one of the trilogy!
Review: Home alone is the best one it is one of the best Family movies ever. It's about when two bad guys come to town and rob every house since everyone on that street is gone for Christmas but 1 family forgot one minor detail: Kevin and he can make his own house into one huge trap. If you want to see any Home Alone see this one. And also this movie will make you laugh so hard. Home alone is awesome! You will want to see it again.

Review: This film stars Maculay Culkin when he was only 11 years of age and comical performances from Joe Peci and Daniel Stern who all disappointingly dont return for the third entry otherwise this film and its two sequels are finally in WIDESCREEN on DVD to enjoy over and over again with no wear or tear!

Summary: An all-time stinker, really horrible, but...
Review: I had a better time watching "Home Alone" in the theater way back when than just about any movie since. Not that I LIKED the movies, heavens no. No, see, I went to see this movie wih a lady friend and I thought it was totally awful. Culkin was insufferable, Pesci and Stern so annoying that I wanted to call and fire their agents, and John Hughes so...John Hughesian. Of course the movie made like $200 million and spawned two sequels I wouldn't watch unless you duct-taped me to a chair. No, what made it so fun was going to see it a SECOND time. I told 2 friends how incredibly awful this movie was and, insulting my fine-tuned sense of humor, said they wanted to see it right away 'cause if I didn't like it, it was probably hilarious. So I dared them and they double dared me and off we went to the SuperSaver theaters (I wasn't giving Hughes any more of my cash than I had to). It only took 5 minutes for my buddies to realize that this movie was really a horror show. Once that happened we were all able to enjoy ourselves. All through the movie we made loud and pointed comments to the screen, making up dialogue and begging Pesci to smack Culkin over the head with something heavy and be done with him. The best part was, no one in the theater found us annoying or told us to shut the (deleted) up. Instead, everyone (well, 15 folks or so) laughed with us and joined in the fun. And that's why, I think, that the movie was such a huge hit-- people hated it so much, it was so nauseating, that people went to see it again just to insult everyone and everything about it. It's just a theory, but I think there's some evidence. But life is short and one extra viewing of "Home Alone" was enough for me. I've never seen it since and never will again unless someone does the duct-tape thing to me. But for two blissful hours I had a grand time hating this godawful movie. Definitely worth my two bucks.

Summary: best Christmas comedy ever!
Review: I was a kid when this movie came out and it was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. Now that I'm 19, I still like popping this movie into the VCR every now and then when I want a good laugh. When the two robbers try their best to get in the house and rob it, Culkin sets a bunch of foolish, but hilarious tricks and traps on them to save the house. This movie never gets old! It's still funny when I watch it and in the end, the drama and plot aren't bad either. It's an all-around good movie and my favorite Christmas movie of all time! I recommend it to anyone. It's good to watch even when it's not during the Christmas holidays.

Summary: Reasonable film.
Review: I am an enormous John Hughes fan and gave rave reviews to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Uncle Buck". This film didn't hit the bullseye with me though. I don't find Culkin an endearing actor and I thought that the films premise (a boy violently protecting his home)was slight. Maltin is right in his view that the violence is overboard. There are funny moments but the film has none of the warmth and sentiment of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, the charm of Ferris Bueller or the social observation of The Breakfast Club. Mind you, it was hugely successful, so who cares if I think its just a so-so kids film thats overrated? I'd give my kids a copy of Benji or Mary Poppins instead.

Summary: Fabulous, greatest of all time
Review: Home alone is without a doubt the greatest movie ever. I have watched it at least 30 times. If you saw it when you were a youngster then you will surely like it still today.

Summary: My Favorite Christmas Movie
Review: After watching this lots of times, the viewer can still be amazed by the freshness and humor of this delightful picture. The movie is carefully plotted and artfully designed, and well worth your time. A couple of random points: note the decor of the featured mansion (like primitive color film, this is entirely red and green); watch for the tarantula; note how all of the trap-building could actually be accomplished by the youngster. A query: how could the house possibly get cleaned up in time for the family's return?
