Movie Information:
“It is Christmas time and the McCallister family is preparing for a vacation in Paris, France. But the youngest in the family, Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), got into a scuffle with his older brother Buzz (Devin Ratray) and was sent to his room, which is on the third floor of his house. Then, the next morning, while the rest of the family was in a rush to make it to the airport on time, they completely forgot about Kevin, who now has the house all to himself. Being home alone was fun for Kevin, having a pizza all to himself, jumping on his parents’ bed, and making a mess. Then, Kevin discovers about two burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), about to rob his house on Christmas Eve. Kevin acts quickly by wiring his own house with makeshift booby traps to stop the burglars and to bring them to justice.”
“Home Alone“ is an amusing Christmas heist flick with a big nod to another Christmas movie, “Die Hard“ (1988) – complete with family problems, a protagonist practically breaking the fourth wall by cracking jokes alone, and bleeding feet – “Home Alone“ is a funny movie. The cast is great. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern mug it up. Catherine O’Hara is always good, even if her full comedic talents are underutilised here relative to her parts in Christopher Guest mockumentaries or the TV series “Schitt’s Creek”. Besides, her character is the only member of the family who really seems to care that they forgot a child across the Atlantic Ocean and then some. Roberts Blossom should talk more in this one, because his manner of lip smacking in between short phrases is ASMR triggering. John Candy on another holiday road trip–this time talking about abandoning his little one with a corpse at a funeral parlour. And, of course, Macaulay Culkin. Boy, that kid was famous, probably hasn’t been a child movie star that big since and, besides Shirley Temple and Jackie Coogan, before.

Besides breaking fourth walls with the raise of eyebrows, his Kevin enjoys time to himself, eats and watches trash, sleds down staircases, cares about hygiene and keeps a tidy home when not destroying his brother’s room or mutilating criminals, shows interest in his hobby of using stuff around the house for an elaborate home security system, and screams into the void every once in a while. I mean, he’s got life figured out. Granted, he gets whiny about missing his family after only a couple days, but he’s only eight years old, so I suppose that may be forgiven. It’s just a fun film. The early hectic family scenes, including the rush to the airport, make this enjoyable from the start, and the film-within-the-film parodying “Angels with Dirty Faces“ (1938) is a gas, as well. To top it off, they got John Williams to do the score.
