Great Movie. Funny part when Kevin sets up all the traps for
the bad guys, yet the movies gets its point across.
Beginning is a bit boring though.

I have to admit it: When I first saw Home Alone several
years ago, I did find it fairly amusing. But now when I
look at it, it seems mediocre at best. Still, it's at least
better than some of the dreadful imitations that John
Hughes and even the dreadful Disney studio produced in the
following years.

I love this movie. #1, they don't have an extra ticket at
the airport because Kevin's ticket gets thrown in the trash
when milk spills during the pizza supper. #2, none of the
kids are sitting together in Coach and none of them like to
hang with Kevin anyway, so they don't miss him. #3, the
neighbors are all gone so Kevin can't go ask for their
help...as his parents find out when they try to call from
France. Also Kevin likes the idea of having the house to
himself because everybody was so rotten to him. (These
comments in response to the professional review on this
site.) To me the real meaning of "Home Alone" is the
perfect, sentimental American holiday that we all want and
can never have. Hughes approaches this theme again and
again and to me, the slapstick violence is distracting.
Home Alone 2 & 3 were not as good as this.

black and white gangster movie McCauley is watching?

Very cute family movie. However, I have one question that
desperately needs an answer. I have seen the movie years
ago and I have recently been given a question that I do not
know the answer to. What is the significance of the turtle
doves that Kevin gives to the homeless woman in the movie?
In the movie, he gives her one and keeps the other. What
for? Can someone please remind me why Kevin does this in
the movie? It is driving me crazy. Thank you...please
email the answer.
