Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog. Today, I will be reviewing the famous family comedy classic of 90s called Home Alone. I believe most of us have grown watching Home Alone series. But it will be a great treat for your kids who have not watched it yet.

Home Alone is basically a movie about an 8-year-old boy named Kevin McCallisters who is accidentally left behind in Chicago by his family who flees to Paris. When Kevin wakes up later in the following morning, he finds  the house empty and starts to take advantage of the situation.

Although if this would have happened to us in real life, then I bet each one of us would have cried and made a huge deal out of it. However, in this movie Kevin seems to be quite happy regarding the fact that he is alone.   

Meanwhile the story develops with Two burglars Harry and Marv, who are breaking into houses in the neighbourhood where Kevin lives. They somehow get to know that Kevin is the only member present in McCallisters’house, so they plan to break into his house on Christmas Eve.

When Kevin overhears Harry and Marv, he soon rigs up his house with booby traps for them. Then the plot unfolds with how Kevin manages to knock the two burglars out and hands them to the police. Afterwards, during the Christmas Day Kevin’s mom comes to Chicago, they both reconcile and fly to Paris to join their family there.

This movie deserves a 4 out of 5 stars. I think the young Macaulay Culkin, who played the character Kevin did a wonderful job as he had to carry almost the whole movie by himself. I will recommend you watch this movie and if you guys have spare time, then do watch the other movies of Home Alone franchise.
