Home Alone (1990)
Directed by Chris
Columbus this film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern and
Catherine O'Hara. An 8 year old boy finds himself home alone in the
festive period after his family forget to take him on holiday with
them.
Much of the plot of
this film is your fairly average festive fare with the “be careful
what you wish for”/”you will miss it when it's gone” theme.
Clearly the main draw of the film is the slapstick battle in the
fourth act between the protagonist on and would-be burglars but this
is slightly less impressive than the rep the film has for it. Overall
this is well made film and while it has funny moments it is some what
of a surprise that this is one of the highest grossing comedies of
all time.
3/5
