One of the Better Comedies of the 90's

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2012)

'Home Alone' is a Christmas classic about a young boy named Kevin McCallister who is accidentally left behind during the chaos on a trip. He then realizes that two burglars are about to break in and so he must defend himself.
Why on earth is this movie so lowly rated!?! 7.3 on IMDb for this film is simply said, not high enough. C'mon this is a Christmas classic and is widely regarded by many as the 2nd greatest X-Mas movie. This film has heart, fun and absurdity.
I first watched this movie 6 years ago, when I was back in the 4th grade, not only did I cry and laugh my head off, but so did EVERYONE in our class. We, as a class, had a blast and even today (when I just watched it) I love the film.
There are so many things I love about this film. I love EVERY single actor, even the little kids who don't get very much screen-time. That's how good the acting is, in particular little Macaulay Culkin, perhaps the greatest kid actor before he became drug addict. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern were the perfect burglar pair! That was just perfect!
I loved how this film had heart, like when the band offered to drive Kevin's mom all the way home, saying "Sure, its Christmas time!" I also absolutely loved the hell outta Old Man Marley and the character background story they gave him. I also loved how he looks evil but deep down you see him as a nice character.
Perfect film!
