    Doesn't really work if you actually spend the time to bother thinking about it, but so long as you don't _Home Alone_ is a pretty good time. There's really no likeable character, and it's honestly pretty mean spirited, but sometimes that's what you might need to defrag over Christmas. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

    Of course we watched this more than 20 years ago, but recently took it out of the library to watch again for a couple of reasons. One, it is ostensibly a holiday movie and we were watching a series of them. Also, a friend had just lost a loved pet and needed a silly movie to take her mind away for a couple of hours. This movie fit the bill. It has several laugh out loud scenes, and mildly amusing material surround…

    "Home Alone" gets an enormous amount of mileage out of such a flimsy central idea which simply follows the familiar pattern of behaviour you would expect if an eight year old child was accidently left home alone. He eats junk food and he watches equally junk television programs all day. However, this obviously isn't enough to pad out the already thin story, so screenwriter John Hughes introduces a couple of burglars …
