A Christmas Classic You should give a chance

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2008)

This is a really good family film so long as you can get through the slapstick.
Home alone is pretty much as it says. A family decides to go to Paris for the holidays. Unfortunately in their rush they left one small thing behind...their youngest son. Now he not only must take on the task of managing the house but he also needs to outwit some burglars before they take over. Will he get through the holidays alive? This movie is kind of looked at as a simple slapstick movie but in truth all of the slapstick is pretty much in the last 10 minutes of the movie. The rest of the movie is a pretty nice and touching Christmas tale that covers the areas of family and togetherness. The acting is fairly decent in this film and the characters are pretty likable. The music is very well done and the setting really gives you the feel of a true Christmas classic. If you haven't watched this film yet then definitely check it out.
