After 35 years, Home Alone holds up. It turns out I had never seen the original movie, only the sequel. The film is cute. Macaulay Culkin delivers a spectacular performance for a nine-year-old. If you want to enchant your kids, this is a wonderful holiday movie. I watched an interview with Macaulay Culkin recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live; as an adult now 45 years old, he comes across as charming. He watches the film with his young kids, and they are presently not old enough to realize that the kid in Home Alone is actually their father.
