Holiday Classic.

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2019)

Review:
'Home Alone' is a comedy film directed by Chris Columbus.
If you were to ask a room full of people what movie they watch the most around the Holiday's, the majority would say 'Home Alone'. This is such a fun tale from writer John Hughes, and it brings some suspense to Christmas while keeping it child friendly.
The story follows eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. Kevin initially relishes being home alone, but he soon has to contend with two burglars: Harry Lyme (Joe Pesci) and Marv Merchants (Daniel Stern), who are known as the "Wet Bandits".
Macaulay Culkin is a standout in this movie not only because he is in almost every scene, but his acting was very good. He was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy after all. He really holds his own among all the adults in the film and it isn't slim picks when you have Joe Pesci, John Heard and Catherine O'Hara.
It's quite unrealistic about how dumb the burglars are, but honestly, this is a terrific family film. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are a great comedy duo of two idiots who can't rob the place because a child has out witted them and set some clever and very funny traps around the house.
Overall, aside from its unrealistic plot, the movie is fun and very entertaining. It's a movie my family watches multiple times throughout the year and it never gets old.
4.5/5
