Title: 'never got why this was such a hit.
Review: I just happened to see this again after 25+ years since my 6 year old wanted to see it. We chose to watch it because we both had just watched (for free) "Home Alone 3"---which I thought would surely be total junk. The odd thing is---we both really liked the "third installment." It was ridiculous---hilariously ridiculous. We both howled with laughter. It's a "total cartoon." Now---you may dismiss my review, but I am here to tell you that my 6 year old felt the same way. He LOVED "Home Alone 3," but "Home Alone," downloaded for $3.99, was ho-hum in contrast. The movie always aggravated me with its gratuitous "Ahhhhhhhh" from Culkin, but its biggest offense is that it tries to be a cartoon and real movie at the same time. I'm sorry, but I feel one has to choose sides. Clearly, we preferred the slapstick nonsense of the third movie to the overall "important" nonsense of the first one.
