I just watched "Home Alone" for the first time in years and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. This was such a big film when it came out and was well received by most but now it just doesn't feel on that level to me. It seems just ok, nothing great. The plot can be plodding at times and there is a good deal of negativity mixed in between some nice moments such as the scene in the church. And seeing the burglars get hurt wasn't satisfying or funny to me now but just cringeworthy. Really there were few laughs the entire film. I'm not sure if this discrepancy in perception is due to my aging or the world changing, but there it is. I will give it a 6/10 and that may be somewhat generous.
