A boy left home alone thwarts burglars.

Every now and then there'll be something amusing (like John Candy) - just often enough to emphasize how bad the rest of the movie is.

I love this movie. It is one of my favorites. When Lenox Mall in Atlanta I saw it, then took several people back, and I still enjoy the video. I especially enjoy the music, especially the main theme that is repeated throughout the film. My favorite humor scene is when the mother takes the phone away from a lady in the Paris airport and tells the person on the line "She'll get back to you" or something like this. There are so many great funny moments. A real treasure.

Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister makes the most of the situation after his family unwittingly leaves him behind when they go on Christmas vacation. But when a pair of bungling burglars set their sights on Kevin's house, the plucky kid stands ready to defend his territory. By planting booby traps galore, adorably mischievous Kevin stands his ground as his frantic mother attempts to race home before Christmas Day.
