Slapstick family holiday comedy brings the pain.

Synopsis

Home Alone is the highly successful and beloved family comedy about a young boy named Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left behind when his family takes off for a vacation in France over the holiday season. Once he realizes they've left him "home alone," he learns to fend for himself and, eventually has to protect his house against two bumbling burglars (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) who are planning to rob every house in Kevin's suburban Chicago neighborhood. Though the film's slapstick ending may be somewhat violent, Culkin's charming presence helped the film become one of the most successful ever at the time of its release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Still good BUT over hyped film
4
Posted by: from home on 11/26/2010I have always enjoyed this film. 20 years later I still say it was over hyped when released & became the hit it did. And, yes the character Kevin was acting bad. Any parent would have grounded him at least. The slap stick comedy was the hit here. Did take enough time to get to the funny parts. COURSE with this large group no 1 thought to set another clock to ensure they got up in time. BUT that would not have lead to the film. Just to point out these things. PUT the passports, tickets in a safe place not on a counter to get milk spilled on them. We do get the points of the film about family. The build to the story on the neighbor after the story Buzz told about him that he was just a lonely man who missed his family. Good to see the late John Candy in here after the 1989 hit Uncle Buck where he & Culkin worked together there. There are plenty of extras on this DVD. BUT, MY COMPLAINT & I HAVE HAD THIS COMPLAINT FOR SOME TIME NOW. They used the cheap, intentional holes in them plastic DVD case. I HATE these. Cheap, can damage your DVD so you can go out & buy another. No chapter search list. You will enjoy the film & the extras here JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN STORING THE DVD WITH THE CHEAP PLASTIC CASE WITH INTENTIONAL HOLES IN IT.

Great Movie, Proper Dvd Release
4
Posted by: from on 04/18/2008The original dvd release of 'Home Alone' was quite disappointing. Thankfully, this special edition re-release takes care of those problems and finally gives fans of the film what they deserve. Anamorphic widescreen transfer is good and bonus features are plentiful. Recommended!
