I just watched the movie Home Alone today, even though I saw it several times in the past. It is a Christmas story about an 8 year old boy named Kevin who is left home alone by his family. His family went on a trip to Paris, France. When Kevin's mom found out she left Kevin home alone, she tried calling their friends, the Murphys, who went down to Florida for the holidays. Kevin may be young, but he sure knows how to make friends, do some shopping, and hurt some bandits. The bandits were the Wet Bandits, who plug up the sink and turns on the water, flooding the kitchen and the basement. There is a lot covered in this magical Christmas movie, but I'll simplify it to the point. Never, ever leave your son or daughter alone during the holidays. They won't know what to do. Anyways, back to Kevin. Kevin was very smart, setting up traps in the house with tar, nails, iced over concrete, an iron, a blowtorch (don't ask me why), Christmas ornaments, and fixed cell service. When Kevin looks like his life is about to end, the neighbor of Kevin, who was rumored to be the snow shovel murderer, hit the bandits with a snow shovel. Upside the head! After Kevin gets back home on Christmas Day, the bandits are now on trial for crime, Kevin's family got home from Paris, and they lived happily ever after.
All in all, I rate this movie a 9.5/10, several hilarious parts, and something kids could do if they're home alone, but really shouldn't.
