    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Joe Pesci deliberately avoided Macaulay Culkin on-set, because he wanted Culkin to think he was mean.
    • Goofs
      Kevin has a pizza delivered to the house even though the phones are supposed to down. There is never any indication of if or when the phones were restored, but in the scene immediately before, Kevin's father was trying to reach Kevin.

    Masterful comedy/family flick
    Seen this classic so many times and never ceases to get old. With a bunch of great scenery, adorableness, original vibes, and comedy! Macaulay Culkin shined so much, he deserved the millions earned for his role. I love how Joe Pesci went from Scorsese films where he swore so much where as in this he had to bite his tongue. John Hughe was a gifted writer that helmed some gems!
