Right Place, Right Time?

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2002)

As I write this, I'm wondering if Home Alone were released today would it be so good? Then again. maybe we haven't changed so much, I'm not sure. It doesn't take to much imagination to figure out why this is such a great film. It's just plain hilarious at most points!!!! It's story is totally unreal but then again aren't most hits like that? Absolutely!! I'm a big fan of Joe and with all seriousness his role here is unforgettable. He is the perfect crook. I'm real surprised that him and Daniel Stern didn't get some kind of award for this film! They should've got something in return for letting a little 9-year throw paint cans and irons down onto them. Surely I can't imagine why after having my hand fried and my head lite up by a flamethrower (I think?), why didn't they just leave? Definitely, their actions went abovr and beyond the call of acting. All the while, Mac keeps a big smile on his face as he screams, "Hey, Check this out!". I really think he enjoyed trashing those guys up. And who wouldn't! Sadly, my house was broken into and if I coulda done half the stuff to those creeps, I would have been happy about it too!! But that's not the theme of the film is it? So I'll give it Four outa Five Stars.
