He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house. A bit wooden with dialogue, the then-little star's voice could grate on the nerves (especially in long, wise-child passages of pure bromide), but he unquestionably carries the film. Billie Bird and John Candy show up as two of the interesting strangers Culkin's character meets. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are entertainingly cartoonish as thieves, but the ensuing violence once the little hero decides to keep them out of his house is over-the-top. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews I have both Home alone 1 and 2. Both are 2 channel stereo which made me sad. These two movies are not that old and I don't know why they released into 2 channel Dolby. Now finlally Home alone is released again with 5.1 channel. I am buying it! Hope some day I can have Blu-Ray. All time family favorite movie.
