Timeless, one of the best Christmas films in a long time, and one of the best family movies ever made

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2005)

Home Alone is underrated according to the IMDb. It only has a 6.4 out of ten. It deserves to at least be a 7. This is a great family movie, but there are many adults and teens out there who also love it. It isn't a dark movie, but it isn't all fluffy like some of the movies released today that are considered family movies. It is also one of the best Christmas movies ever made, and is still the last great Christmas movie released to this day.
There are three sequels; Home Alone 2 is pretty good, Home Alone 3 is bad, but Home Alone 4 is a made for TV flop, so I won't say anything else. I'm not sure why, but it seems like many kids prefer the 2nd and 3rd Home Alone movies over the first one. I don't see their reasons for that.
This is a great movie for kids, and many kids can relate to it. I'm sure every kid out there has wished they could be alone and away from their family, but what kid would know what to do if two burglars were after him. That is where all of the fun in this movie comes from.
You should see this movie, it has become a tradition for me to watch this every Christmas. Maybe it will become a tradition of yours as well.
