The extended family once again meets at Peter ( John Heard) and Kate’s ( Catherine O’Hara) house before leaving. Brilliant movie! 9/10.It’s Christmas time again and the McCallister family is preparing for another family vacation out of town. I absolutely adored the soundtrack too, New York looks splendid and the Plaza Hotel was incredible to look at. Eddie Bracken and Brenda Fricker also make appearances, and their scenes are touching, as they are of friendship and acceptance. My favourite scenes were the bathroom scene in the hotel, and when the staff are held hostage by a television. Catherine O'Hara and John heard are amiable as the parents, while the wonderful Tim Curry gives a hilarious performance as the Concierge. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are hilarious, as always. Macaulay Culkin brought a lot of charm to almost all the movies he's been in. ![]() The only problem is that the jokes are basically retreads of the first movie, but believe me, they're miles better than the ones in the fourth ( which is one of the worst movies ever) This is still a very solid film, that gets slow in the second half. Home Alone 2 is my personal favourite, and I watch it about once a month. The last two are just wannabes and feel like they don't belong. The only problem is that the jokes are basically retreads of the first movie, but believe me, they're miles The first Home Alone is very good indeed. The first Home Alone is very good indeed. ![]()
