Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2001)

Child star Macaulay Culkin ('The Good Son', 'Richie Rich') plays Kevin MacAllistar, who, in all the hype of Christmas, is left at home unattended as his extended family go away for a yuletide vacation.
A heart-warming tale it may seem, but, on Christmas Eve, 2 bumbling robbers known as the Wet Bandits (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) try to rob the MacAllistar's house - and it's up to Kevin to stop 'em!!
Catherine O'Hara ('Beetlejuice') plays Kevin's mom, and Culkin's 'Uncle Buck' co-star John Candy is also featured here (but didn't appear in any scenes with Macaulay).
A funny movie, filled with action, drama and a sappy side-story plus plenty of Christmas spirit - no wonder this movie grossed millions, and turned Macaulay into a multi-million-dollar superstar!
