      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Home Alone's uneven but frequently funny premise, stretched unreasonably thin, is buoyed by Macaulay Culkin's cute performance and strong supporting stars.

      Jason R A christmas classic now, joining Kevin as he's accidentally left Home Alone, still enjoyable to watch putting yourself in the 90s again, of course things would be different these days with technology, video calls, door cams, house cams, Alexa... ect... still one of my childhood favorites Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Johana B A classic, one of the best Christmas movies. It is very entertaining, funny and creative. Very recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Валерия Home Alone is an American Christmas comedy directed by Chris Columbus, released in 1990. You can view it on any website. The action takes place in a large McCallister family shortly before Christmas, they gather at Peter and Kate's house on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois, to fly to Paris together and spend the holidays there. 8-year-old Kevin, the youngest son of the owners of the house, is laughed at by brothers and sisters, as well as other relatives, especially the older bully brother Buzz. Kevin likes to stay alone in the house, but he has to face two robbers, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Although the plot of the film "Home Alone" seems simple and funny, however, an attentive viewer may notice a deep subtext and hidden ideas. Throughout the film, we see a little boy Kevin struggling with his fears and insecurities, forced to stay at home alone. Despite the comic situations and funny stunts, the film also addresses the important question of the meaning of family, trust and independence. Ultimately, "Home Alone" is not just a story about a brave boy, but also about the importance of accepting yourself and your surroundings. I really liked the movie, the plot is good, the characters are funny and interesting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Antoine T My kids have already watched the two first Home Alone maybe 5 times in 2024 (they hate the other ones). This is not great art, but undoubtedly a timeless classic comedy that knows its audience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Esqueceram de Mim Elenco: @culkinmania @macaulay_culkin_ @joepesci @realdanielstern @kieranculkinupdate @catherineoharas Modelo: #comedia #comedy #aventura Duração: 1h 43m Ano: 1990 Minha opinião: Na década de 90 foi mais uma década de vários filmes de comédia que marcaram a história com Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Jckie Chan, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Whoopi Goldberg, até mesmo Schwarzenegger. E com certeza começaram bem a década 90 com Esqueceram de Mim, que leva ao estrelato Macaulay Culkin que fez uma continuação. Aqui temos a família McCallister que estão com as férias em Paris. Irmãos(as), primos, tios e seus pais. E na correria do dia da viagem acabam esquecendo do Kevin e assim começa o filme. Quando a mãe percebe faz uma maratona para voltar para casa. Enquanto isso no bairro de Kevin 2 ladrões Harry e MArv, sabendo que muitas famílias estão em viagem começa a fazer um limpa no bairro. E Kevin percebe também que eles estão agindo e que irão assaltar sua casa, para isso ele começa a armar várias armadilhas para os ladrões, além de curtir a vida na casa como uma rei. E quando Harry e Marv vão começar a invadir a casa é quando começa a parte mais cômica do filme com muitas trapalhadas e para darmos muita risada. O interessante que o filme traz uma pitada de drama e humanidade, quando tem o sr. que todos tem medo e da mendiga. E essa pitada foi muito especial para a receita do filme. Ótma interpretações dos atores. Roteiro e enredo maravilhosos. Vale apena assistir? Prepare-se para dar muita risada, um filme que não envelhece. Nota: 9 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Amir A The Second Best Christmas Movie of all Time and Macaulay Culkin Shines in the role as Kevin McCallister as a Mischievous Eight Year Old Left Home Alone. Can't Wait To Watch Home Alone 2: Lost In New York! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Catherine Dunphy Toronto Star This is going to be a big hit with the kids. Word will get out in the schoolyard that Home Alone is really funny. Just don’t let the kids near the iron after they’ve seen it. Nov 30, 2023 Full Review George Landau St. Louis Post-Dispatch Home Alone isn't high art, but it's a swell gift to movie-going families. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Lynden Barber Sydney Morning Herald Using split-second editing, playfully choreographed violence and exaggerated responses such as the bug-eyed double take, director Chris Columbus has created a live action comedy in the style of a Warner Bros cartoon. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row This film truly captures something enduring about what it's like to be a kid, and it continues to speak to that child in all of us. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Marylynn Uricchio Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Without being the least bit schmaltzy or cloying, Home Alone manages to impart the holiday spirit. Its saving grace is an unexpected vein of irreverent humor that verges on the black. Rated: B- Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World Home Alone will send most moviegoers home with the warm glow of a story well told. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
