A family accidentally leaves their son home alone while they fly to France for Christmas. They do not realize that their son is left behind until they've almost landed in Paris. While home, the boy fends off two very inept house thieves.

This is a Christmas movie that parents and kids will enjoy together. Along with the typical seasonal message concerning family, there are some very hilarious situations involving the kid and the two house thieves that will almost leave you in tears.

The funniest part of this film only lasts for about ten minutes and it takes over an hour to get there. I remember this movie being funnier than it actually is; either I'm just getting old or I'm confusing it with scenes in Home Alone 2 (probably both). The first sixty minutes of this movie could have easily been squeezed down to forty; maybe even thirty and the funniest part (the idiots breaking into the house) should have been stretched out to replace that time.

Look, if it's Christmas Eve and your choice is this film or watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"/"Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer" for the thousandth time, pick this one. This is a cute little movie with a family lesson and some clean physical comedy (I wonder how many takes/voice over's it took for Pesci to not use the colorful language we're accustomed to hearing from him). It's not the best Christmas film on the shelf but it certainly isn't the worse.
