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.

Would personally recommend you give it a go._

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 …
