Sickeningly sweet-TO SWEET.

Rating: 5/10 (3 December 2003)

If I had to pick a movie that was a smash that did absolutely nothing for me Home Alone would be at the top of the list. Oh, I'm not saying the movie was awful. But overated yes and after all these years, I still don't get the appeal.
I'm an adult but was fairly young when this came out-and I love all types of movies. This movie's premise bothered me, seeing a kid get terrorized by robbers,even in a comedic sense, was not my cup of tea and I spent most of the movie feeling sorry for the poor kid who got left behind and wishing the movie would end. Yes, Mcauley Culkin was cute-but aside from that, I don't think Home Alone rates more then a 5.5 maybe a 6. I have definetly seen better kid movies, family movies etc. It was hyped so much and so sickeningly sappy, the most I could say about it is that it's a "cute" little movie.
