"KEVIN!" vs. "Hey, it's the Jojo Rabbit boy... No, not the main one... his doofy friend..."
So, not every kid has what it takes to be a Kevin McCallister, although several have tried over the past three decades. We break down the true genius of the original John Hughes and Chris Columbus Christmas classic that has been in heavy rotation since 1990, the totally admirable retread of a sequel that -- get this! -- moved the action to the Big Apple, the forgettable sequels that popped up over the years, and this latest attempt to connect to the legacy by humiliating one of the first film's star.
Anyway, we're talkin' the Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern and John Candy heavy-hitter, HOME ALONE! Plus, 2: Lost in New York, 3, 4, The Holiday Heist, and Home Sweet.
