Who would actually talk to their kid like that!!

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2009)

Summary: a large family group book a holiday to Paris for Christmas but by accident forget their son who is left prey to 2 bungling robbers, he defends his house with traps until his mum returns to him.
OK Ill start with the good points. Funny, well thought out traps, interesting story. Certainly watchable HOWEVER I hate his family. They are selfish and cold. I can understand that it symbolises the pre-Christmas stress but they call him names (not just the kids either) and don't seem to care whether he is fed or not. The parents fail to see that the other kids are bullying him. They stupidly don't even notice he's not with them for a while, they're a shame to the name of parenting. It leaves you feeling like he'd be better off alone (he certainly can handle himself).
Also perhaps it's just me but the robbers are too dim-witted for my taste although maybe it adds to the comedy.
I recommend you see Home Alone 3 if your not keen on this one.
