Home Alone Review
Home Alone is one of the best Christmas films ever made by John Hughes and Chris Columbus. We all know the story about Home Alone, how an eight-year-old Kevin is left home alone on Christmas, and he has to defend his Home from two psychopathic home invaders.
Now in the film, we see how crazy the holidays can be and we all feel bad for Kevin for how he is treated by his family especially by his brother Buzz and his uncle Frank. I hated Frank I really wanted someone to punch that guy because he didn't care about Kevin and was thief too.
This film was so funny, like I remembered laughing so hard when Kevin screams in horror at the sight of Marley. This film had some heartwarming moments too like in the end of the film and I loved how Kevin really proves he can take care of himself and we see how much his family really loves him unlike Frank.
I once asked people if they ever wanted to punch this guy, and everyone said yes.
One thing I never like in the film, was when Frank called Kevin a little jerk and neither of Kevin parents call him out for that I mean, if someone called my kid a little jerk I would get so mad about that and kick him out. Honestly, Frank was more deserving of Kevin's traps than Harry and Marv were.
If we had gotten a proper Home Alone 3, I would have made Uncle Frank the bad guy, because in the original drafts, Frank actually hired the Wet Bandits to rob his brother's house. That would have been a good twist, revealing he was the mastermind behind the Wet Bandits. Also, there was a deleted scene in the second film were Kevin's parents call Frank out for hating on Kevin which they still haven't released. I have nothing against the actor who played the role of Frank I just hated the character.
When Kevin is left alone he loves it at first until he realizes how much he misses his family and feels bad about what he said to them. However, when the Wet Bandits are in his neighbourhood he tries to stop them and we see Kevin put together all these traps and lets face it after watching honest action some of those traps would have killed them.
Kevin would have killed them; these people, like Marv and Larry, would both be dead after getting hit with a shovel. The Wet Bandits were really funny in this film, and it's insane how they survive all of Kevin's traps.
Seriously, these two would be dead in real life.
Also the ending of the film is heartwarming were Kevin reunites with his mom and she apologzies as does everyone else. It's also funny when Buzz sees what Kevin did to his room.
As well, the scene where Marley and his son reconnect, and the scene of him hugging his grandfather, are tear-jerkers. That ending was great and beautifully shot. I also like the church scene with Kevin and Marley because they do have a lot in common.
Home Alone is still one of the best Christmas films to watch, and I did like Home Alone 2, but didn't like what came after, of course. Chris Colombus said they never should remake this film again because it wouldn't work in modern day era and I agree.
The cast of Home Alone were all fantastic and it's funny to know that Fuller is now an oscar winner. This film still holds up 35 years later, and I highly recommend watching it for Christmas. Also check out the first episode of Dryvrs because it is the real sequel to Home Alone. Here's a link at the bottom to watch it.
Merry Christmas
you filthy animals!
