When Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally forgotten when his family leaves on vacation, the precocious 8-year-old will have to learn to fend for himself while protecting the homestead from two bumbling burglars nicknamed the Wet Bandits (Daniel Stern & Joe Pesci). The John Hughes mega-blockbuster is packed with holiday hilarity, cartoon violence and a star-making performance by Culkin, making it a childhood classic you can’t wait to watch every year.
“This surprisingly charming film may be the first Christmas black comedy for children.” – Caryn James, The New York Times
“A firstrate production in which every element contributes to the overall smartly realized tone, pic boasts wonderful casting, with Culkin a delight as funny, resilient Kevin, and O’Hara bringing a snappy, zesty energy to the role of mom. Pesci is aces in the role of slippery housebreaker Harry, who does a Two Stooges routine with lanky side-kick Stern.” – Variety
