Family Fun Filled Christmas Treat - Home Alone review by GI

Spoiler Alert
12/12/2021

A family fun filed Christmas comedy treat. It has all the ingredients that you want from a seasonal family film and above all it's genuinely hilarious mostly due to Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as the hapless burglars who encounter resourceful 8 year old Macaulay Culkin who is intent on protecting his family home. But overall the film is focused on family and its importance especially at Christmas. Essentially a situation comedy where the large Chicago based McAllister family of Dad (John Heard) and Mum (Catherine O'Hara), their five children and various members of the extended family head off to France for a big Christmas holiday. The trouble is in their haste to catch their flight they inadvertently leave young Kevin at home. At first he's rather pleased about this and indulges himself but then begins to miss his family. But he's given plenty to do when he decides he has to foil the attempts by the 'wet bandits', as the daft crooks like to call themselves, in their efforts to raid his house. By setting booby traps which they fall easily into the film has a slapstick style that is really funny. There's also a nice side plot involving a mysterious neighbour (Roberts Blossom) who the McAllister children believe is a murderer. The film has a warm, good fun vibe and manages to deal with issues of sibling rivalry and gives a Childs eye view of what family life can sometimes feel like. A real treasure and a film that is a must see every Christmas time.
