It was one of my favorite movie when I was a child and the fun fact is that I started with the second movie instead of the first. I think I rewatch them every Christmas!

Such a great classic movie, I rewatched this for the holiday and it really lives up to the hype. It also aged well, I found all the comedy to be really funny and the movie was shot surprisingly well. Kevin is a psychotic child, but this movie is such a feel good Christmas movie and I’d say it’s easily the best Christmas movie ever (haven’t rewatched Home Alone 2, so this might change) But this is a very high 8, bordering on a 9. I won’t give it a nine because I feel like I’m heavily influenced by nostalgia, but I’m trying to not be biased and still found the movie to be spectacular. 8/10

Film de noël original et très sympa. Amusant et impressionnant pour un enfant. Un classique très bien dirigé par Christopher Columbus.
