Christmas topper without a doubt!

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2006)

John Hughes has really produced some great films throughout the 80's without a doubt, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink etc. But in 1990 he really cracked it in Home Alone. Home Alone the original is without a doubt a must watch film for all audiences.
As always Hughes creates a situation for the film that is a crowd pleaser, in this case an 8 year old left home alone at Christmas while his mother and family hope to get back home in time for Christmas, meanwhile young Kevin McAllister is left to defend his home against two idiotic robbers with a house full of surprises.
This film is certainly a Christmas film, but it's what Hughes puts into it that makes it an essential one, the story, structure, the laughs and the joyful Christmas feeling. This film will make you laugh and maybe even cry it has it all in this family pleasing Christmas topper!
