"I Made My Family Disappear"

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2017)

Some movies are made strictly for adults. Others will bore the heck out of us "seasoned" viewers and appeal only to children. Luckily, this movie is made for everyone!
For a basic plot summary, "Home Alone" sees young Kevin McCalister (Macaulay Culkin) waking up a few days before Christmas in a completely empty house, his extremely large and rather disorganized family having left him behind on their trip overseas. While the family tries to get back home, Kevin must outwit a pair of two-bit thieves (played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) who want nothing more than to loot his home.
What really makes this film special is the wide appeal of the humor. One could literally sit down with the entire family (from young to old) and watch this movie, and everyone would be laughing all the way through. From young Kevin's attempts at "holding down the fort", to the bumbling burglars played brilliantly by two veteran actors, this is the type of movie that you will be quoting long after the TV is turned off.
Thus, I highly recommend "Home Alone" to quite literally anyone, especially during the Christmas season. If you have a list of "Must-See" holiday movies, this one should be right next to Frosty, "Wonderful Life", and claymation Rudolph!
