Admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of slapstick comedy, but I just don't find it funny or endearing. Kevin is annoying, all of his family is annoying, the filmmaking and cinematography itself is meh, and I just didn't find it very entertaining.

The burglars are ok, but they couldn't save the film for me.

The one funny bit IMO is Keven asking if his toothbrush is approved by the American Dental Association. Other than that, the movie didn't get any laughs from me.

Watched it all the way through for the first time yesterday.

Home Alone is one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen.

Being a "kids movie" isn't an excuse to be a bad movie.

There's tons of great "kids movies"

Home Alone is not one of them.

You also have a strong opinion about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so maybe the problem is just you.

Maybe try watching it with the theory in mind that Kevin grows up to be Jigsaw? Maybe that will make the movie better for you?

Home Alone is the movie for kids

Jingle all the Way is for adults - imagine the Room in Christmas form with Arnold portraying Tommy Wiseau and Sinbad as Mark

Both of these, though the latter is undercut by the sequel shamelessly copying the formula to the point where Kevin hasn't learned anything and still incorrectly judges the dirty loner at face value.

There's two reasons to enjoy Home Alone: good holiday music, and live action Tom and Jerry-level brutality. It's never been high art, and has been shit on since release as the poster child for American audiences having no taste.

That's fair. There's movies I loved as a kid, but rewatching now I realize they dont hold up much, but often still have a soft spot for.

Like Sharkboy and LavaGirl. Bad movie, but I loved it as a kid.

Same with me and TMNT2/Terminator 2. I love those movies, and they're absolute classics. However, rewatching them again as an adult soured me on them a bit because of how kid-friendly TMNT 2 became (couldn't even use their weapons to beat up enemies, and that god damn dance scene), and how commercialised T2 became.
