Advantages: A great film to watch as a family, mild, comical violence
Disadvantages: No disadvantages whatsoever

...Home Alone 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... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Not Funny, Bad Actors, Bad Storyline and overall shocking.

...Home Alone 4 has ruined the Home Alone movies for anyone who has seen this film. It is a disgrace to the other three Home Alone's including the acting of Mcauley Culkin. Home Alone is all about comedy, Home Alone 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 Home Alone'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 Home Alone and if I was a director I would hurry up and make a Home Alone 5 to try and fix the name of Home Alone.... Read review

Advantages: kids might enjoy it
Disadvantages: boring,repetition of the previous films

...If it wasn't a Home Alone 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 Home Alone 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 Home Alone 4 should they ever make one.... Read review

Advantages: Fun for all the family, No swearing.
Disadvantages: Can't watch it over and over

...Home Alone: 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. Home Alone 2: Kevin Mcalister gets left home alone 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... Read review
