An average movie

Somehow, I managed to watch this movie only 15 years after its original release. It is not that I was actually avoiding it but I wasn't actually chasing it either. Anyway, after all these years, it was finally time to watch this classic to check what was all the fuss about. Well, I didn’t like it much. I mean, I could see the appeal, I might have enjoyed it more when I was a kid but, honestly, I wasn’t really impressed. To start with, Macauley Culkin who became a huge star thanks to this flick was not bad but I wasn’t really blown away by his acting skills and, to be honest, I thought he was actually often rather obnoxious. Then, I don’t know, I had also had a hard time with the whole concept. I mean, basically, during the whole thing you see this little boy pretty much torturing those two chumps and you are supposed to be cheering in the process. Maybe I put too much thought in it but I thought it was rather joyless. Still, to conclude, even though it didn’t really amaze me, it remains a rather entertaining family feature and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
