i be usually not so passionate when rating movie and especially family film and but please do not mind me when i say that bleep all those filmmaker who shove this atrocity up my face . let me give you some glimpse of what inside this family film represent a guy repeatedly get hit in the head by brick while a guy get electrocute by an electric generator on high intensity while a guy footwear wear off a he walk on a staircase with nail stick upright on it and to the point that his bare foot have nail embed in them . the entire movie try to make you laugh with the mere notion that all these ridiculous act of violence be meticulously plan out and perpetrate by some sadistic and spoil 10 year old yuppie accidentally leave behind by his family when on vacation in nyc . while most of the adult cast give a mediocre to decent performance and the only acting criterion for culkin apparently be to look as cute a possible while which be ironic and since most of the time i felt like chokeslamming him off a skyscraper . couple that with thin character development and especially the two main villain who have an intelligence low than that of a special need 4th grader . obvious inconsistency and illogicality aside ( such a the 10 year old pro carpenter ) and i be infuriate by the fact that the home alone series try to pass itself a family film and when what it show be blatant violence in the name of cuteness . the fact that this movie be rat below pg 13 be even more ridiculous . even after home alone 2 sadistic effort and there be very few laugh in fact and many young kid will be frighten by what they see and while only the nutty of adult will laugh . please stay away from this movie and discourage filmmaker from try to make such pervert family film ever again . rating represent negative .
