One of the best Christmas movies ever made!

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2008)

this is a classic Christmas movie. the plot, cast, and the acting are all top notch. the story is about young kevin who gets left behind when his family leaves for Paris. while alone, he must fend off two bumbling burglars while his family is on a desperate race against time to return home. the acting by young mac is exceptional. his performance is one of the reasons this movie was a huge hit way back in 1990. i also love home alone 2 but i think 3 and 4 are crap. 1 and 2 are the best. the new DVD is great. it is packed with tons of special features including 15 deleted scenes/alternate takes, games, a making of featurette, how to burglar proof your home featurette and more. the deleted scenes are hilarious. one of them is an alternate take when uncle frank is passing out shrimps and buzz takes a tray full. if you're a fan of this movie you should get this DVD. it's great. since i bought this DVD i have watched it numerous times. you will not be disappointed with this DVD. i also wish they would release a new DVD of the sequel.
