"Down here you big horse's ass, come and get me before I call the police." - Kevin McCallister

Why watch this? Culkin is adorable as a kid who outsmarts the two dumbest crooks in NYC.

Plot Summary: Young Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind when his family departs for a Christmas vacation. Initially delighted with his newfound freedom, Kevin soon discovers that two burglars plan to rob his house. He must defend his home with a series of makeshift booby traps against the persistent, yet inept, thieves.

Dad's Preview: For such an improbable premise, this holiday treasure manages to be funny, exciting and incredibly warm. The obvious star is Macaulay Culkin who demonstrates acting chops way above this age. Pesci and Stern superbly play the bumbling thieves who cannot seem to figure out how to outsmart this crafty little dude who is determined to ruin their Christmas.
