Buzz

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2018)

This is a very enjoyable Christmas movie, suitable for the entire family. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are excellent as the bungling burglars. All of the actors in Kevin's "family" are very good. Uncle Frank is an annoying jerk (as he is supposed to be as his part is written) so the actor turns in a good performance causing the audience to truly dislike him, as intended. I do have some issues with the story line of this movie though. Kevin is portrayed as a troublemaker which he is most definitely NOT! BUZZ is the troublemaker! (Well played by Devin Ratray, the audience is EXPECTED to dislike Buzz). The way Buzz treats Kevin is deplorable. Buzz is the true BRAT! Buzz is the instigator of all of the "troubles" yet he gets away with it and the relatively innocent Kevin gets all the blame. Buzz is the one who should be punished, not Kevin! This shows bad parenting on the part of Kevin's parents, they punish the wrong son! A good parent would realize that Buzz is the instigator. This bad parenting sends a wrong message. I DESPISE Buzz! (Good acting Devin, you made me hate Buzz).
