"This is my house, and I've got to protect it!!"

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2016)

Child stars peter out so fast, don't they? One minute you're the most highly paid 9 year old on the planet, next you're a drug addled loser in a dead-end band. I think you know who I'm talking about... and no, it's not Mr Pesci (although, his career kinda hit the doldrums in the new millennium too).
Still, this is decent Xmas-style fun, and a good deal more enjoyable than it's overly-derivative sequel. Some might say only the booby-trap laden last half-hour is any good, but those peeps would be missing out on some funny lines, poignant moments and screaming. Lots and lots of screaming...
Actually, forget that last part. 7/10
