Home Alone will forever be a Christmas classic

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2019)

Home Alone directed by Chris Columbus is easily the best Christmas comedy ever made. Growing up with this film means there's definitely a sentimental love for it. But upon recent viewing I can really see why this movie has been loved for decades. The writing, casting and direction is prefect. Home Alone is such a well made film. The performances are some of the best in the genre. The script is so compelling with its successful humour and authentic line delivery. One thing that makes this movie so memorable is the outstanding score by John Williams. He captures everything from the Christmas spirit to moments of serious tension. This movie also contains such a deep message around family with necessary character arcs, which are able to relate to both adults and children. Home Alone will forever be a Christmas classic so therefore I give it a 9.
