On Christmas Day, Kevin is disappointed because his family is still gone. Then his mother come and after that flown directly from Paris to Chicago, but Kevin keep secret about encounter with Harry and Marv.

Good plot and implausible make we hard believe. Sometime this is shows genius of John Hughes written movie’s screenplay. Macaulay Culkin also very talented in many scene and has to carry almost the whole movie. But this film appartently not possible happen in fact because that over. So this film only as consolation.

Overall, this is good film, especially to consolation when holiday. This film can watch to all age. And contains some message to parents to them child.
