"Great Holiday Comedy!"

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2014)

Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard and Catherine O'Hara star in Chris Columbus' 1990 comedy. This tells of Kevin McCallister (Culkin), a troubled, young boy who wishes his family would disappear. In a way, he gets his wish when he's accidentally left behind at home while his family heads to France for Christmas vacation. Kevin has a run of the house, but also faces 2 inept burglars, Harry (Pesci) and Marv (Stern) trying to rob it in the process. Heard (Big) and O'Hara (Beetlejuice) play Kevin's parents, Peter and Kate who try to get back home to him plus the late, John Candy (Uncle Buck) also appears as Polka King, Gus. I've always liked this film and watch it every year near Christmas. The cast is great as well as John Williams' score. I recommend this great holiday comedy.
