An Unforgettable Christmas Classic

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2014)

"Home Alone" is about a boy name Kevin McCallister who is left behind with his family that they have gone to Paris as he takes care of the house, and deal with some burglars. I grew up with this movie as it is part of my childhood, and it is still fun to watch from being a kid to an adult. This is one of my favorite Christmas movies, and I do watch it when it comes to the Christmas holidays. John Hughes' script is extremely well written as well as Chris Columbus' direction. John Williams' music is so memorable and beautiful at the same time. The cast in this movie were great, but I give highly praises to Macaulay Culkin for his performance as the main lead. He is star of this whole movie, and fun to watch. Also, I give highly praises to Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as Harry and Marv who they are known as the Wet Bandits. The movie is filled with slapstick like "The Three Stooges," when Kevin sets up the traps as both Harry and Marv go through a lot of pain as the movie goes toward the end. The movie is not only funny, but it has a lot of heart to it that is filled with the spirit of Christmas. This is the best of all the "Home Alone" movies, and nothing beats them. The only good sequel is the second, which I will get to that later but the third and fourth were terrible; they tried to be fun and entertaining, but they were not and they were not needed to be made. So, anyway, "Home Alone" is definitely the one to watch during the Christmas holidays as well as the second, which again, I will get to that later. If you haven't seen the first "Home Alone" movie, please feel free to check it out because it is fun, entertaining and it really does have that Christmas feeling. When you finish watching the movie toward the end credits, you come out feeling good at the end of it. "Home Alone" is definitely an unforgettable Christmas classic, and I give it a 10 out of 10.
