    With "Home Alone", director Chris Columbus gives a great Christmas entertainment as well as funny, pure performances.

    All though it's predictable and painful to watch at some times, "Home Alone" still manages to be one of the best Christmas movie to date. About the humor, well, it sucks but it's an old movie, and as time goes on, meanings of fun and jokes change.

    I am sorry is this supposed to be funny? Is this supposed to be original? Because I found myself guessing every single part of this movie which made me bored. Sorry Chris Columbus you were great with Harry Potter but not Home Alone. I give this movie 11%.

    Home Alone is a great movie. There is a little cussing,however. It's not all that bad after all. There are some pretty funny,weird scenes too. Don't miss it.

    I may not celebrate Christmas, but that doesn't stop me from loving this work of art. Definitely one of the best movies of the early 90s. I really hope they re-release this for Blu-Ray.

    Honnêtement, j'en attendais un peu trop de cette comédie (surtout qu'elle est assez connue). Tel que Maman, je m'occupe des méchants, je voulais absolument voir ce gamin ce défendre contre des cambrioleurs en usant de moyens et de pièges faits à la va-vite. Que c'est jouissif de voir des pros tomber dans des pièges aussi ridicules! Mais hélas, cela ne concerne que le quart d'heure final du film. Pendant tout le reste, j'ai dû supporter la naïveté et les états d'âme du jeune garçon, sans pour autant que cela soit à mourir de rire. Pour certains, c'est mignon, moi j'ai trouvé ça plutôt gonflant. Même question acteurs, personne ne semble réellement s'amuser (hormis Joe Pesci et encore, il n'est pas à son meilleur). A voir juste comme une distrayante comédie de Noël.… Expand

    Home Alone is more mischievous than most other kids movies. Somehow, it manages to have a heart.

    Home Alone is the apex, the pinnacle, the culmination of every bad bit Hughes has ever written or directed. It overflows with primitive, disastrously unfunny sight gags and neo-hateful familial humor.

    All plausibility is gone, we sit back, detached, to watch stunt men and special effects guys take over a movie that promised to be the kind of story audiences could identify with.

    Kevin has the potential to be the mawkish child or the obnoxious little adult so common on screen, but he is neither. Played with great glee by Macaulay Culkin, he is a totally endearing, up-to-the-minute little boy.
