Perfect for when you're home alone on Christmas

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2013)

Doesn't this movie make you all warm and tingly inside? Okay, the story is not entirely credible but it's a good idea, the story build-up is pretty straight-forward and easy so it can appeal to a very wide audience. You've probably seen this movie a thousand times by now and there's a big chance you didn't get tired of it. If you love Christmas and the Christmas spirit, you'll probably love this.
For those who haven't seen the movie yet: the story is about a little boy whose parents go to Paris for Christmas and forget their son. He wakes up all alone and his mother only discovers she forgot him when she's already on a departed plane. A burglar duo, fully aware of their departure, drops by to steal some valuables and the little boy Kevin as "new man of the house" feels responsible and obliged to defend his fortress of solitude.
It has all the cuddly and mellow themes of Christmas, like unconditional love for family and friends, the destructive power of prejudice and fear, values like charity, mercy and generosity. And what's wrong with a little corniness in life?
