A nostalgic Christmas movie

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 2013)

"Merry Christmas and a happy new year!"
I remember watching this film over and over in Christmas with my brother, and my mother rolling her eyes saying "You're watching this again?"
As some people say, I also think the plot is pretty much the same with the first one. The parents leave their young child, Kevin, alone and he defeats the burglars in the last, and this just continues for another 3 more movies. However, what I think made this one so special was because this movie is like a dream for a growing child. Exploring a city you've never been, staying in a big hotel room, going to a big toy store, and finally defeating the bad guys, all alone without your parents telling what you should and shouldn't do. And I'm probably not the only one who tried to make the booby traps Kevin came up with in the movie.
When I was little this movie was everything that I wanted to do, it was a dream. Now I'm older I see this movies as something that brings me back and remember how I used to see things more simple and happily.
Overall, I think this is a fun movie, perfect to watch sitting in the couch with a cup of hot chocolate remembering how exciting Christmas was when you were younger.
