    I’m very glad things turned out all right in the end. If it were me, I’d have simply invited the burglars in for some tea. A little kindness can go a long way.

    Home Alone

    9/10 A telefilm without too much ambition which becomes the classic and the reference of the genre. What highlights could show us that this film will succeed, Jonh Williams has the music delivering an extraordinary performance and the amazing Joe Pesci as the crazy burglar

Home Alone is the apex, the pinnacle, the culmination of every bad bit Hughes has ever written or directed. It overflows with primitive, disastrously unfunny sight gags and neo-hateful familial humor.

All plausibility is gone, we sit back, detached, to watch stunt men and special effects guys take over a movie that promised to be the kind of story audiences could identify with.
