Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal! HOME ALONE at The Wildey Theater in Edwardsville Tuesday December 14th

” This house is so full of people it makes me sick. When I grow up and get married, I’m living alone. Did you hear me?”

Nothing’s more fun than The Wildey’s Tuesday Night Film Series. HOME ALONE (1990) will be on the big screen when it plays at The Wildey Theater in Edwardsville, IL (252 N Main St, Edwardsville, IL 62025) at 7:00pm Tuesday December 14th. Tickets are only $3  Tickets available starting at 3pm day of movie at Wildey Theatre ticket office.  Cash or check only. (cash, credit cards accepted for concessions)  Lobby opens at 6pm.

The 1990 comedy smash HOME ALONE 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 14th.
