Home Alone, the timeless Christmas classic, is a little...out there. Also Macaulay Culkin has the best laugh on Earth. In this review I discuss everything wrong with Home Alone as well as some of my favorite scenes.

For fifteen years longer a trade starts, they don't ask each other anything they just sell. Then Kevin was put on death row for the murder of the victims.

Ah, Home Alone. A holiday classic about a boy who gets bullied by his emotionally abusive family and then gets left behind “accidentally” while the rest of the family goes to Paris, leaving the boy to fend off two creepy burglars and develop a pleasure of torture and traps from his family trauma and most likely grow up to become Saw😊 Such a holly jolly movie

It's kinda sad that throughout the entire movie the old guy has been established to be a creep but he keeps a watchful eye over Kevin and treated him way better than any of his family ever did, especially when he was in danger. I was hoping he'd adopt him in the end and take him away from those nasty parents.

You bought into the KZfaq mans bad opinion. This movie is a classic, it's great. Kevin's family arent evil, it's a movie for kids that's attempting to speak to kids and their fears..such as being left behind by the grown ups who live faster, busier lives, older siblings who think you're a cringey little kid and treat you like crap, being the young kid in a big family and being left out of stuff. It's relatable as a kid, and any reasonable adult should be able to recognise the movies target audience

@Seth Mcfarly Well, I mean, the tone of the film is kid friendly. If it doesn't make sense or relate to the child audience, then it kinda fails. It's just relatable as a kid to feel like the grown ups in your life are leaving you behind at that age. You're not old enough to be taken seriously but not young enough to be mothered constantly. I know it works because I loved it as a kid. It just makes no sense to watch it as an adult and apply adult morals and logic to it.

I like how when kevin says “everyone in this family hates me.” Instead of his mother assuring that they don’t hate him, like a parent should, she just responds with “maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.” Like what the hell?? That pretty much secures in Kevin’s mind that he’s hated, since kids are more likely to think that, and you affirm that idea in his head? It really pisses me off, since the movie later goes on to pretend she’s an amazing mom, but never addresses the fact that she basically told her 8 year old son that his family, including her, hates him.

Okay, so... Parents are people too. And sometimes we get frustrated and say the wrong thing to these little people we're completely responsible for. But we're doing our best and we try to make up for it when we know we've fucked up. Raising people is hard, especially because we all start out pretty selfish and stupid. Give us a break.

+Doodle Doddle Nope Everyone knows parents are people too and everyone knows parents make mistakes. The difference is what you do with the mistake. Do you act like nothing ever happened or do you apologize? In the movie, she not only basically told her child that everyone including her hates him- which is something that just shouldn't happen, even if you're just human and you make mistakes-, she also forgot him the very next day and only noticed much later. She doesn't regret anything she said to him and at the end of the movie, all he gets is a hug. Now of course it's possible that her character talked to him about all of this "off screen", and then it would be okay, but that's not canon, so we as viewers have to believe that she resolved all these issues by hugging Kevin and didn't bring his concerns about the family hating him up ever again.

Just realized- The Old Man's "Scowl" probably wasn't a scowl but rather a look of confusion to see Kevin still in town. Since Kevin's family and him are neighbors he likely saw everyone rushing out and piling into cars to go to the airport. Upon seeing Kevin at the store, he's confused why the youngest child of the family was left behind.

A little trivia about this movie: Macaulay's dad was infamously known to be a mentally abusive stage dad who was obsessed with making his kids Hollywood-famous and was also known to be very pushy with the filmmakers, including Columbus. Columbus found him so difficult that when he directed the Harry Potter movies he made sure that he hired child actors who's parents weren't as aggressive as Macaulay's dad.

I always had a problem with how Kevin was treated. He was 8 years old and probably had some sort of ADHD and he was just treated so cruelly by his family. What exactly did he do to deserve being called names and harrassed and verbally abused by his family like that? Edit: honestly wouldnt be surprised if he took all of his bottle up frustrations out on the burglars. Trauma can make people sadistic in nature and Kevin probably has some mental scarring from his family's mistreatment.

When I was young I didn't really have much feeling on the matter, I just wanted the movie to progress to the fun things kevin did with the wet bandits. 30 years on, now being an adult, an uncle, and matured beyond how a child would see these things, it is horrifying seeing how the family treats kevin, how all the siblings and cousins just gang up on him and the adults let it happen, holding contempt not for the selfish and entitled teens, but just focused on 1 child among dozens of them. What makes this worse? After the first movie expecting the grief the parents apparently were meant to go through abandoning their child, in the sequel the parents are right back treating their child like shit and allowing the other siblings and cousins to treat him like shit, and abandon him again at an airport. When I was young I use to love the scenes of kevin reuniting with his mother, but now, its hard to watch, especially in the sequel knowing she hasn't learnt shit, she doesn't deserve a second chance. The only people I feel for in these movies are old man marley, the pigeon lady, and kevin himself. Social services need to take kevin off this neglectful monsters.

"You'd think at least someone would be like, 'hey where are your parents?'" Nope, it's called the bystander effect. It's not socially appropriate for an adult to approach a minor, especially an unattended one (who knows if their dad isn't just around the corner?) so they don't. Look at how many people who saw Jaime Bulger with those two kids around Kevin's age. They did nothing, didn't ask why two boys were dragging a baby down the street, or where the fuck their parents were, nada. Same with Kitty Genovese, people listened to her screams for help for half an hour and could have stopped her murder, but not one person thought to call the police or help. So that part of the movie is probably the most realistic lol.

As a late 90s kid, I can't personally speak to what it was like before 9/11, but it sounded like a much more chill time in general. I will say that this kind of attitude towards kids is what my parents grew up with in the 70s and 80s; my mom talks about how she and all the kids in her neighborhood would just go hang out at a couple's house (they had no kids) all the time after school and they'd also jump onto the back of some dude's pickup truck to go to a park and also maybe get an ICEE for all of them to share. John Mulaney talks about how he always acted like an adult as a kid and just go places alone to buy things or eat out. Heck, when I was growing up, spanking your kids was still pretty acceptable (though my parents didn't do it). tldr: a bunch of adults' reactions to Kevin in this movie could've still been totally normal then. we're looking back at it with new (and honestly better) mindsets, expecting it to be normal (since that's how it felt when we first watched it)

This is still my favorite Christmas film. It’s fun and entertaining while having the spirit of Christmas with it.

When you mentioned why Kevin didn't call the cops at 14:55, I saw a post stating that the first time Kevin saw Harry, he was dressed as a cop and he smiled at him, making Kevin notice his golden tooth. When Marv and Harry almost run him over, Harry smiles at him again and Kevin immediately notices the golden tooth and remembers him as the 'cop' in his house before, which is why he looked at him 'funny'. It could explain Kevin's distrust with the police and why he doesn't call the cops right away to his home.

No, I think the viewers are meant to empathize with Kevin and his unfair treatment. But at the same time they were trying to show that the reason for this unfair treatment was that his parents are overstressed, and that under less-fraught circumstances they'd have been sympathetic to Kevin. I think that having the mother say that part about wishing for a new family was pushing the envelope too far, though. She just seems so calmly malicious in that scene, that it's hard to excuse what she said. If she'd seemed to be on her last nerve and shouting, it would have worked better.

While I do think that if Kevin's family was real, this would be a horrible abuse of Kevin, but I think the purpose of the movie was to appeal to KIDS above adults. This would explain why everyone in the family acts so mean to Kevin, as when you're a kid and get into an argument, it feels like the whole world is against you, so of course the movie would reflect that. That's also why so much of the movie is Kevin messing around at home, as being at home without authority figures around (dare I say, home alone?) is typically an exciting idea for most kids, as they are often not left unsupervised. The ending is meant to teach kids about how even though your family might seem mean, they really care about you and such, as they also show the negatives of being without authority figures at a young age. Or maybe they really ARE abusive and I'm just too interested in the intentions of the movie without looking at what the movie actually is. IDK but I think it might be an option for why they act the way they do

I mean, Harry takes some pretty nasty hits, like the paint can to the head and a crowbar to the chest, but Marv is like... basically indestructible by this point and a snow shovel is what puts him down.

I never saw Kevin as a brat. He kind of reminds me a little of how I was treated growing up. I was the youngest of the household, but considered the 'responsible one' when it was convenient, so when my older brother picked on me and I stood up for myself, I was the one criticized because I was supposed to know better, while he was barely told off every now and then. It wasn't as bad as Kevin, the adults were on my side sometimes, but it always sucked that I got the worst of both worlds by being the baby and the responsible one, while he was oldest and no one expected anything from him. He straight up ate my birthday cake one year when I was sick and couldn't eat any. They literally saved me a piece with my NAME ON IT for when I was feeling better, and he ate it, because the pieces he got the day before weren't enough. If ever there was a moment I could point to to show how crappy a sibling he was, this was it. I'm still mad about it. I can totally relate to the frustration and suppressed violent rage Kevin had.

Man, that sucks. I'm so sorry for you. Your family is a bit of an opposite from mine (and maybe many others) because as the oldest, you'll always take the brunt of the "little siblings/cousins" that were there with you. Whenever I got into a fight with my older brother or cousins, the adults side with me. But if I, in some ways, influenced my younger sister or cousins badly I'll get scolded for it even if I had stopped doing the trouble and those little kids were doing it all by themselves because they thought it was fun. I actually had a somewhat middle child syndrome. My brother, being a brat he was which slowly made our parents got used to it, always had the freedom using money. My sister, being youngest, was the darling of my parents, especially our mom. Our mom bought her a pack of books one day when my parents picked me off the school and I asked who was that for? For my sis, ofc, when I lacked books for notes myself. I asked her where's mine? And she said it was for my sis only bcause my mom promised her about it. I bluntly told her than she promised me a lot of things too but never once she bought anything for me. But ONE request from my sis and she bought it. I was pretty pissed with it and still is, because in my memory, even when I was around my sis' age, I never got treated as nicely. But I had learned to let it go.
