HOME ALONE Saturday Morning December 2nd at The Hi-Pointe

“Keep the change you filthy animal”

HOME ALONE plays on the big screen at St. Louis’ fabulous Hi-Pointe Theater this weekend. It’s Saturday, December 2nd at 10:00am at the Hi-Pointe located at 1005 McCausland Ave., St. Louis, MO 63117. Admission is only $5. Other Christmas films in December are IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE December 9th at 10:00am, WHITE CHRISTMAS December 16th at 10:00am 12/17 and DIE HARD at Midnight December 23rd. 

The 1990 comedy smash was John Hughes’ last significant contribution to pop culture. Hughes’s script was his usual dose of upper/middle-class discomfort combined with a Rube Goldberg meets Ferris Bueller selection of traps and low-brow cunning that held together better than a movie set at Christmas had any right to. And its young hero — the courageous home commando Kevin McAllister, played with gusto by the subsequently doomed Macaulay Culkin, is hilarious in his mission to protect his home from the “wet bandits” after being forgotten by his vacationing family.

What is best about HOME ALONE is its sense of fun. The plot really makes little sense. How does a family not notice they have an extra plane ticket or that a sibling is missing? Why would burglars break into a house where they can be identified? How can Joe Pesci get beat up relentlessly and not scream “Motherf***er!” once?

HOME ALONE is a great Christmas film so don’t miss it December 2nd.

Admission is just $5. KMOX’s Harry Hamm will introduce the film.
