A Classic Holiday Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2000)

Home Alone is probably by far the best holiday comedy movie since Peter Billingsly in A Christmas Story, another holiday classic.
The story of Home Alone is about a kid named Kevin McCallister(Macauly Culkin) who with his entire family are, going to France for the holidays. Kevin who is the youngest out of everyone in the house is often called by his brothers and sisters a "disease." Anyway, one night, after his mom orders some pizza, he asks, "Did anyone order a plain cheese?" His older brother, Buz replies, "Yeah, but if you want any, somebody's going to have barf it all up, now it's gone." Kevin his angry after discovering that Buz had purposely ate all the cheese pizza and gets into a fight with him. When it's all over, everyone is mad at Kevin and sent to his room on the top floor for the night. Later that night before going to sleep he says, "I wish they would all just disappear."
Predictably, he wakes up the next morning to find everybody gone, not knowing that they had just left for the trip to France. So this means party time for Kevin. However, they're have been a string of burglaries by two partners in crime Harry(Joe Pesci) and Marv(Daniel Stern) (by the way are the best comic pair on screen) have set their sights on Kevin's house. So this ultimately leads to their final showdown with Kevin setting his house full of traps so they can't get in.
As I said before Home Alone is a must see holiday classic. I'm 15 now. I first saw it when I was 5 in the theater. I must have laughed myself silly at Kevin's pranks. Home Alone was followed by a less successful, but just as entertaining sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and a horrible third entry, Home Alone 3.
