...Hone Alone has to be one of the best movies around! and very funny and original!
HomeAlone is about a eight year ols kid called kevin mcCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) and he becomes the man of the house, overnight!! he gets accidently left behind when his family rushes of on a christmas vacation, kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. but hes not decking the halls with holly. two bumbling burglars are trying to break in! and kevin's rigging and bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them in!
HomeAlone is writen and produced by john hughes who also wrote and produced 101 dalmations. Macaulay Culkin plays Kevin mcCalister, Catherine O'Hara and John heard as Kevin's parents, Joe Pesci and Daniel stern as the two pescky burglars.
Homealone runes for 99 minutes and is a good laugh. go on give it a go ....

Advantages: A great film to watch as a family, mild, comical violence Disadvantages: No disadvantages whatsoever
...HomeAlone is an exceptional film that is recommended for any potential buyers who wish to enjoy a great weekend with their family watching movies. This hilarious crime-stopping film is the starting point of a further 3 editions which reflect the same theme of comical violence. Unlike, many films which include the stereotypical actors and actresses (like Arnold, Nicole Kidman) who help in the process of manipulating the modern audiences through their power, fame and glamour, this film uses an eight year old boy (which encourages a wider range of representation in Hollywood) and in essence, promotes a new type of theme. A theme which is centered on a little boy with huge responsibilities to save his home from the bad guys, even though he is tossed and turmoiled by his family and others.
Although the film's budget would have been low...

Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Score.
Advantages: None Disadvantages: Not Funny, Bad Actors, Bad Storyline and overall shocking.
...HomeAlone 4 has ruined the HomeAlone movies for anyone who has seen this film. It is a disgrace to the other three HomeAlone's including the acting of Mcauley Culkin. HomeAlone is all about comedy, HomeAlone 4 had none of it. The storyline was poor. The actors were shocking and just could not act. Whilst watching it I really did cringe. Compared to recent HomeAlone's there were less stunts and traps for the baddies. This film just lacked some real personality. The baddies really lacked quality and didn't react to the traps well enough and overall they were poor, Kevin Mcallister, the child just lacked personality and just couldn't act. This has put a bad name to HomeAlone and if I was a director I would hurry up and make a HomeAlone 5 to try and fix the name of HomeAlone....

Advantages: kids might enjoy it Disadvantages: boring,repetition of the previous films
...If it wasn't a HomeAlone film it would be okay but, dislike him you may, there is no substitute for McCauly Caulkin's cheeky little face and the avid persistance of Joe Pesci.
The kid left alone theme wears a little bit thin but the children like it.
Personally, I find there is something endearing about HomeAlone 1 and 2 but, sorry, this film just does nothing for me.The story seems to be exactly the same as the first one,and the gags repeat themselves.The tricks that the boy uses to fight the baddies are the same that Caulkin has used years and years ago.And now somehow they don't look funny any more.
I doubt I would ever want to watch HomeAlone 4 should they ever make one....

Advantages: Fun for all the family, No swearing. Disadvantages: Can't watch it over and over
...HomeAlone: Kevin Mcalister is one of the younger members of the Mcalister family, he is always getting into trouble and one day he goes too far and gets sent to his room, the next day the family go on holiday to france but they forget one vital thing.... Kevin. Whilst he is home some neighbourhood burglars, try to break in. The film follows Kevin as he pulls out all the stops to stop them from robbing his family.
HomeAlone 2: Kevin Mcalister gets left homealone again, this time he tries to stop burglars from robbing his neighbours house. Same kind of stuff as the first, but not as funny.
If you like you slapstick comedy films, then this is a good film for you. If you try to watch it over and over it can get boring, so only watch it once in a while. Some of the stunts in the film are really good, like when one of the burglars...
