Please tell me you're reading this review because you just want to see how much others love this movie like you do! This movie is such a classic and something that at 31 years old I continue to love and adore every year. It's a must during the holiday season, but I even get the inkling to watch this randomly throughout the year! It's funny with a great story to it. If you've never seen it, WATCH IT. If you have seen it, then you should also leave your own review on how much you love it so that everyone else will know just like we do just how good this movie is!
The overwhelming success of 'Home Alone' (it spawned two sequels), is enough to guarantee that most people will love this story of a family that departs for Paris on the Christmas holidays, mistakenly leaving an eight-year old boy to fend for himself.
When our kids were little every year we would go to a special family Christmas movie. Our daughter was in kindergarten when Home Alone came out and it was her favorite movie. Now, as an adult, it's still her favorite Christmas movie. Our son's little girl is almost the same age as our daughter was when the movie came out, and to see the delight on our granddaughter's face and listen to the peals of laughter as Kevin thwarts 'The Burglars' as our granddaughter calls them, was sheer joy. It added to our Christmas once again.

As a fan of the Home Alone series, I had no choice but to buy the DVD (especially as Christmas approached). This DVD works very well: -no skips -good picture quality -doesn't freeze if you leave DVD on pause or standby after watching DVD and walking away for a bit Cons: -The only con is that the DVD didn't contain the extras and behind the scenes shoots that are always enjoyable to watch. Considering the price for this DVD though, I still think you get your dollars worth. Overall: I would recommend this product if you're looking for a great Christmas classic that the whole family can enjoy. The price is great for what you get. For anyone who grew up in the 90's, this is a humorous and nostalgic film. It is the first in a series of 'Home Alone' films.
With family woes, Kevin (Culkin) wishes his family away, and it becomes true for a time. This film is not only funny for adults, but albeit Bart Simpson-esque, there is a good message about family commitment and values. In a nutshell, this film is fairly versatile and switches gears fairly often. The comedic look at a child's life without parents and rules, contrasts the emotional (and on occasion awkward) familial subplots. That being said I wouldn't plop just any old kid in front of this film. So I completely agree with it's PG rating.

It's memorable in every way from the characters to the dialogue to the musical score by John Williams to the last act with the booby traps!
