A long time ago, back when I first saw John Hughes; Sixteen Candles, I thought -- along with quite a few other filmgoers -- here's a guy who knows the score. Well, time has proven me about as wrong as I could be. Home Alone is the apex, the pinnacle, ...read the complete Home Alone movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)

I’ll probably never see Home Alone 3, and I wish I had skipped Home Alone 2, but I do enjoy Home Alone almost every year. Don’t let your impressions of the others detract from the original, which has much more to offer than cartoon slapstick. ...read the complete Home Alone movie review at Movie Habit (Marty Mapes)

Back in 1990, Home Alone was a movie sensation. Believe it or not, it earned more than $285 million during its theatrical release, more than Monsters, Inc., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Incredibles. While those films will surely endure, Home Alone has ...read the complete Home Alone movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

I am not snickering at the movie because it is enjoyable enough overall and Culkin does wonders with his character of the allpowerful Kevin who cannot be outwitted. I also enjoyed Catherine O'Hara as the worrisome mother who flies back to Chicago and ...read the complete Home Alone movie review at Jerry Saravia
