I can honestly say there have been few films I've hated more, I really don't understand the love for it. I'm guessing it's because I wasn't a kid when it came out and I don't have that attachment to it as a result.^ ...then you haven't seen The Santa Clause II ...so incredibly bad, it has to top the Worst Christmas Movie list.
I haven't seen it, or the first one, so thanks for the heads up. It's not so much that Home Alone is a bad film, a lot of the set pieces are very well done and very clever, it's more that I hated the characters and the cartoon violence. I've no problem with someone being hit with an iron or whatever and being fine in the next scene in a cartoon, but not in a live action movie. And I definitely sided with the mother and burglars, I would have left that annoying brat at home (and maybe not accidentally) or tried to inflict harm on him too!
