Home alone

7th December 1990

Not suitable for children

Live action - comedy - Set in the Christmas holidays.

Story line:

A family is going on holiday and mistakenly forgets Kevin at home. Now Kevin is home alone and two robbers have spotted this. They try robbing the house while Kevin has already tracked down on what they are planning to do and sets up traps to stop them robbing the house while he waits for his family to get back!

Main Actors:

Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister.

Joe Pesci as Harry Lyme.

Daniel Stern as Marv Murchins.

John Heard as Peter McCallister.

Roberts Blossom as Marley.

Catherine O'Hara as Kate McCallister.

Kristin Minter as Heather McCallister.

Daiana Campeanu as Sondra.

Jedidiah Cohen as Rod.

Kieran Culkin as Fuller McCallister.

Senta Moses as Tracy.

Anna Slotky as Brook.

I think the best performance in the movie was when the two robbers were robbing the house and kept on falling for Kevins traps and got hurt a lot. This is most likely the most entertaining scene in the film and I think a lot of other people would agree with me.

I think a good use of special effects was when Marv was electrocuted and he turned to just a skull and bones for a couple seconds and his hair fuzzed up.

For me the best moment in the movie was when the robbers tried to rob the house and falled for kevins trap as this was the funniest moment in the movie and I think a lot of people would agree with me.

Finally, if you want to see a film which has comedy, lots of action and consequences, then come and see home alone.

If you are the sort of viewer who enjoyed comedy films, Diary of a wimpy kid, Uncle Buck and Pups alone then this is the film for you as it is a lot like these other films and i can guarantee you that you will like home alone.
