Review for Home Alone:
Now and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house. A bit wooden with dialogue, the then-little star's voice could grate on the nerves (especially in long, wise-child passages of pure bromide), but he unquestionably carries the film. Billie Bird and John Candy show up as two of the interesting strangers Culkin's character meets. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are entertainingly cartoonish as thieves, but the ensuing violence once the little hero decides to keep them out of his house is over-the-top. --Tom Keogh

Review for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York:
This somewhat unpleasant 1992 sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone revisits the first film's gimmick by stranding Macaulay Culkin's character in New York City while his family ends up somewhere else. Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the first film in terms of violence inflicted on the two villains (director Chris Columbus, who also made the first film, can't seem to emphasize the slapstick over the graphic effects of the fight). The best running joke finds a concierge (Tim Curry) at the swank hotel where Culkin is staying trying and failing to prove that the boy is on his own. --Tom Keogh

Review for Home Alone 3:
Here's a perfect movie for kids, who never seem to tire of John Hughes's sure-fire slapstick formula. Working yet another variation on his mammoth 1990 hit, writer-producer Hughes (regarded by many as Hollywood's antichrist) strands a youngster in his own home with the chicken pox in this 1997 retelling. While his parents go to work, he sees a team of burglars invading the neighborhood houses; in fact, they're spies, looking for a toy containing a stolen microchip. The inevitability of the finale--one kid holding off four professionals with toys and garden tools--will do nothing to lessen the amusement of youngsters, who love to see the bad guys get creamed. Adults may pause at the sadistic nature of some of Hughes's pranks, but kids will eat up the image of one of their own outwitting all the adults. --Marshall Fine

Product Description

Home Alone:
Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight! Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!

Home Alone 2:
Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back! But this time he's in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his own playground! But Kevin won't be alone for long. The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist. Kevin's ready to welcome them with a battery of booby traps the bumbling bandits will never forget!

Home Alone 4:
It's tough being nine. Tougher still is spending Christmas with dad (Jason Beghe) at his new girlfriend Natalie's (Joanna Going) mansion even though it's loaded with all the techno-gadgets any kid could hope for! But this Christmas, Kevin (Michael Weinberg) is really in hot water again, and so are Marv (French Stewart) and his sidekick (Missi Pyle), who are trying to rob Natalie's house!

With funnier and more high-tech, crime-stopping wizardry at his disposal than ever, Kevin just might finally put these crooks on ice forever - and keep his parents together while he's at it - in this uplifting, hilarious comedy the whole family is sure to love!

Love this set. June 3, 2009
Format:DVD
I hear what everyone is saying about no changes to this set and not remastered and so on. I have never owned the Home alone set but have always loved the movies, especially the first 2, and I don't really care if they are not remastered or have extra features. This set is cheap and it has all the movies and they are just as funny as when I saw them originally. So I say for under $30 it is a good deal..

Format:DVD
First of all these are excellent movies, I have been watching them for almost 20 years (original was released in 1990-91) and I love watching them each year on video. However this three star review is based on the fact that it doesn't include the Family Fun Edition of the first film. If you are buying this thinking that it includes the Family Fun Edition of the first movie, don't waste your time. This does include the original dvd releases of all 4 films and it is a great deal. However when I purchased this I assumed since the family fun edition was the most recent edition it would be included IT ISN'T This is simply a rerelease of the previous Home Alone Boxed Set!

TOTAL RIPOFF October 23, 2008
Format:DVD
To anyone thinking that this collection might include newly remastered widescreen versions of the films, it DOES NOT. Instead, 20th Century Fox has assembled a shameless repackage of the original non-anamorphic discs for films 1 and 2. The transfers look like they were done during the infancy of standard def, which means quite lousy. They couldn't even include the recent Family Fun Edition of the first film (which is remastered). I didn't bother checking films 3 and 4 because it's obvious this is a cash grab for a surplus of the original discs, which have been collected before. The outside box doesn't even bother to tell you the specs of the films (probably anticipating a reaction like mine). Nothing new here except the packaging. Whatever department head gave the green light to this attrocity is in the wrong line of work.

My grandson and his little brothers loved this collection and it arrived before Christmas! What a joy to have such funny movies now available on DVDs for kids to watch at home!

Good
The first 3 are good. The fourth one is weak and a poor excuse of a movie. I never tier of bad guys getting the crap beat out of them. Bonus in the first one; a good message.
