[Holiday Hoopla 9] Home Alone (1990)

 

A movie that surely needs no introduction, Home Alone (dir. Chris Columbus) is the first of several 90s Christmas films on our list, some of which are even classics...

This is one of those, for the record. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time; it's a family movie, so the humor is all the wholesome sort, which has a considerably longer expiration date than the sort of edgier humor we saw in Christmas Vacation last night.

Compliments are owed to Macaulay Culkin, who must be up there with some of the best, most natural child actors in recent memory, but both of the Wet Bandits are great, too and we liked Catherine O'Hara as Kevin's mom. I'll look forward to rewatching the sequel in a few days.

9/10
