Having seen 1&2 in the cinema the box set for1,2&3 was great value. I don’t know what it is about the slapstick humour but it has me in stiches. Kevin (Culkin) is separated from his family and ends up spending Christmas alone in the house. And only two thieves (Pesci,Stern) are stupid enough to take on an 8 year old defending his house.

Repeat for other films. Film three didn’t hit the mark for me. Perhaps it’s too many assailants, or perhaps the defence methods used by Alex aren’t as painful (and therefore funny) as those inflicted by Kevin. Or perhaps its because the defending kid isn’t called ‘Kevin’, which as we all know is a recipe for mayhem. Blush remembering childhood tricks.

Films 1&2 certainly work though and make me laugh out loud. Fantastic.
