Home Alone

Pros: acting, pace, comedy
Cons: family and characters are not particularly sympathetic to begin with

Just about everyone has one of those moments when their family is just so completely on their nerves, they no longer think they can stand the situation. Inside or out loud they make the wish that they were alone and everyone was gone. Of course, it ...

Pros: Funny, entertaining Christmas Movie
Cons: Kevin's family not likable. Certain things not believable. Could be too silly for some viewers.

I love Christmas movies and watch several every year. I really enjoyed Home Alone< b>< i> the first time I saw it many years ago and I still enjoy it when I watch it now. Kevin McCallister< b> was less than thrilled with his ...

Pros: Culkin is cute, the bandits are hilarious, not boring
Cons: The situation is horrifying, if it were true.

One of the highest grossing box office Christmas time movies ever made, Home Alone has not only corrupted the Christmas spirit, but milked it for all it was worth, not once, but several times. Oh all right. Only twice more, and only once more for...

Pros: hilarious, good messages about family and not judging a book by its cover
Cons: excessive cartoonish violence in the break-in scene; those robbers would be dead if all that happened to them

This is the movie that made MacCauley Culkin a household name. Kevin McCallister, an eight-year-old with an attitude, is feeling smothered by all of the relatives that crowd his house. When his brother Buzz eats the last piece of cheese pizza and Kevin...

Pros: Laugh-out-loud funny!
Cons: Kevin can get away with a lot that I'd never have gotten away with!

Home Alone came out when I was in eighth grade. Going to see it was a momentous occasion because it was the first time my mother let my fifth grade brother and I walk down to the movie theatre on the corner of our street and see a movie by...

Pros: Great Physical Humor
Cons: Adults portrayed as idiots

Every now and then, my youngest son gets on a "kick" wanting to watch a series of movies during a weekend. This weekend he again took out what I consider to be one of his most favorite movies and sequels, Home Alone out once more to view probably...

Pros: no sex. no bad language. everything works out in the end
Cons: implausible. sadistic.

Growing up in the suburbs of Orange County, California in the 1970's was a very different time and place than the modern world has become. We locked our doors back then, but we also walked to school by ourselves. No one considered me a latch-key child...

Pros: A dramatic comedy suitable for the entire family I would not mind watching repeatedly.
Cons: None!

I have to admit, Christmas time in New York City is filled with holiday lights everywhere. You will not pass one block without at least one of the houses or buildings on that block with beautiful Christmas decorations. Yet, it is not the lights and ...

Pros: Many funny scenes; cute, innocent atmosphere; great performances.
Cons: It's trying to have it both ways of being silly but realistic.

"Home Alone" is probably every boy's fantasy; defending his/her home and family against bad guys by using the same techniques they see on their favorite cartoon show. However, when we consider the fact the film is centered around a 10-minute ...

Pros: oh come on, it's funny to watch Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern get the cr*p beat out of them
Cons: none

Hey all! This review is part of the Christmas Movie Write-Off, where a bunch of us are writing about our favorite Christmas movies (just watch all the Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life reviews pour in). So anyway, the list of...

Pros: funny, well-structured
Cons: violence, corniness, shallow

Following bit roles as “cute little boy without many lines,” with the release of Home Alone, child actor Macaulay Culkin briefly exploded onto the Hollywood scene. The reasons for this were relatively simple—first off, the movie was a hit, thus its...

Pros: A warm, charming, & sentimental holiday tale mixed with a lot of laughs!
Cons: The parts where Kevin terrorizes the bad guys make me cringe due to the "ouch-factor"!

This is my favorite holiday movie! I have to say that every holiday season, I look forward to digging this video out of our collection and popping it in to revisit Kevin McCallister, his crazy family, and of course the two dim-wit burglars known as the...

Pros: Hilarious, Fast Paced Comedy
Cons: Not a single one

It's been a while since this movie came out, 10 years, but it's some of the best family entertainment I've seen in a long while. I just watched it again and it was as enjoyable as it was back then.

Plot Overview
A 8 year old...

Pros: good family movie

We purchased this movie when it first came out. It is a very cute and yet funny movie to watch. My daughter, whose is four years old, loves to watch this movie.

First thing in the morning when she gets up we have to watch Home Alone.When it...

Pros: Tons of fun for the whole family; fun to watch the bad guys get pounded. :)
Cons: Repetitive; some parts are just pointless & dumb.

I thought this was a fairly funny movie. The whole plot was unique and my whole family enjoys how the small child pounds the "bad guys" into dust.

Complaints
I have two complaints. One is that the guys never die!Not that...

Pros: Family fun and entertaining
Cons: none

My son says that he wishes he could be Kevin just for one day and stay home alone. He is eight so I don't think so, unless of course we forget him as Kevin's parents did and I doubt that could ever happen (although I do think about doing just that once...

Pros: Amusing
Cons: Some parts not good for kids

Am I the only person that can't stand Christmas music and movies etc. during spring and summer? My son and husband like this movie and I do too-at the right time of year.

The movie is about a family that leaves their son "home...

Pros: Entertains and baby sits every parent!
Cons: Takes too long to reach the slap stick!

Being of the Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity lifestyle, and having fathered a son of the same lifestyle, I can only say this movie comes about as close to exposing all the possibilities of frazzling nerves that two guys can muster.

...

Pros: Hilarious, Good Acting, Makes You Feel Good In The End (Will Get You In The Holiday Spirit)
Cons: Somewhat Unbelievable

Home Alone was on TV last night, right after The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and it really started to get me in the Christmas spirit. It had been quite a few years since I'd seen Home Alone, and I'd forgotten how funny it was. That's when Macauley was...

Pros: A few funny jokes, not a complete nightmare to watch.
Cons: Humor is too slapstick and physical for me. Too much violence.

It's almost Christmas again, meaning Home Alone is once again flying off video store shelves around the country. When a guest brought this to my home recently I viewed it and felt compelled to make my opinion known far and wide.

The basic...

Cons: Not really -- just talk to your kids about it

What a great flick! I saw this one at least twice when it first came to theatres. Then I bought the video. And the sequel! It's a cute story, totally unrealistic, about a young boy who is accidentally forgotten when his parents leave for...

Pros: imaginative and fun
Cons: not extremely plausible

Of course a 9-year-old boy can't outwit two robbers with experience. But, tell that to another 9-year-old boy! After we saw this movie in the theater (and it really is made for the big screen), I thought he would break the video tape by watching it so...

Pros: A classic for kids and adults
Cons: Sends kids a negative image of how they should act

Pros: Great humor. What the actors have to go through just to make you laugh.

Pros: Great fun, an incredible movie and an incredible adventure...Macaulay is so cute
Cons: hardly any, if that many

Pros: Very funny, lots of action and surprises!

Pros: Hilarious!
Cons: None, an overall funny/emotional film

No matter how many times I see this movie, I can never stop laughing. I was about 8 or 9 when I first saw this movie, and I'm 19 now and you would think that the type of jokes I laughed at then, I would have now, but No!

The storyline is...

Pros: Great entertainer.

Pros: Like the sound track
Cons: traction patients won't like this one

Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci must have flunked out of burglaring school, because they're bumbling at best. They must also have been born without

pain centers, because they get walloped in the head with an iron bar, bombed with paint cans,...

Pros: Hilarious sight gags and slapstick
Cons: Unrealness of characters

Watching this movie over and over really does no harm to it. I still laugh at the bumbling burglars getting beat up. And the inventiveness of all the traps, tricks, and blockades still amaze me.
The story is not really so important as is the sight...

Pros: Good family show.
