When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O'Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.

Critics Consensus

Home Alone's uneven but frequently funny premise, stretched unreasonably thin, is buoyed by Macaulay Culkin's cute performance and strong supporting stars.

This is going to be a big hit with the kids. Word will get out in the schoolyard that Home Alone is really funny. Just don鈥檛 let the kids near the iron after they鈥檝e seen it.

Home Alone isn't high art, but it's a swell gift to movie-going families.

Lynden Barber

Sydney Morning Herald

Using split-second editing, playfully choreographed violence and exaggerated responses such as the bug-eyed double take, director Chris Columbus has created a live action comedy in the style of a Warner Bros cartoon.

From the Front Row

This film truly captures something enduring about what it's like to be a kid, and it continues to speak to that child in all of us.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Without being the least bit schmaltzy or cloying, Home Alone manages to impart the holiday spirit. Its saving grace is an unexpected vein of irreverent humor that verges on the black.

Home Alone is a holiday classic! the story is pretty simple. and the characters are top tier! I really liked the burglars. they were very likable in this movie. i think my favorite character is the old man. he was a great addition to this movie in my opinion. overall, I recommend this movie to watch over the holidays, 9/10.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
