    Storyline

    • 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.

      Check-Out Woman: Where do you live?

      Kevin McCallister: Uh, I can't tell you that.

    It's not Christmas time until Home Alone comes on TV!
    I'm a young adult, and not a huge fan of the kids movies these days. Some people would classify this as a kids movie, but I think it's more of a classic. I grew up seeing this on TV every winter, and it's still one of my favorites. The sequels are awful, as are most sequels...but the original Home Alone is fantastic. I STILL laugh when I watch it. It's really one of those "feel good" movies, the kind that make you want to cuddle up on the couch with family and relax and enjoy it.

    If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on a great Christmas movie. Heck, it's even great for a rainy day. Watch it, you'll love it! I wish it were on more often!
