There are only a few christmas movies I watch every year after year with home alone being at the top of that chart. It just never get old seeing a 10 year old beat up a bunch of robbers. That just sounds like it would be a perfect christmas movie doesn't it. But in all seriousness it is about a kid who wished that he didn't have to be with his family for christmas. But soon realizes that part of the christmas magic is being with the one's you love. Kicked in with in laugh out loud jokes and in my opinion one of the best child actors in Macaulay Culkin who plays Kevin Mccallister. So keep my change and go watch it you filthy animal.
