He finds an issue of Playboy in a secret stash in his older brother's room but doesn't express much interest in it. Kevin also is shown watching a violent gangster movie that his parents have forbidden him from seeing. The main character inflicts serious pain on two would-be burglars - he trips them down a flight of stairs, burns them, hits them with heavy objects, places sharp objects on the ground for them to step on, and so on. There's a tremendous amount of slapstick violence in this movie, some of which results in very painful-looking injuries. The parents themselves don't exactly emerge as positive role models, but then again, if they had been more mindful, the entire premise of the movie would be shot.

On his end, Kevin has absolutely no problem talking back to his mother.

Adults speak of 'nude beaches,' and young Kevin is called a 'disease' and 'puke' by his older siblings and even a 'little jerk' by his uncle. What might be shocking to parents who haven't seen this movie since it first came out is the level of disrespect between kids and adults and the amount of sibling name-calling early in the movie. Vibrant, energetic and with an unexpected tear-jerking finale, Home falls on the right side of simple.Parents need to know that Home Alone is a hit 1990 John Hughes-directed comedy in which Macaulay Culkin plays a young boy left to fend for himself when his parents, overwhelmed by having to keep track of 11 other kids, mistakenly leave him behind when they fly to Paris. As his plucky partner in adventure, Tip, Rihanna's precocious human child is fairly stock standard, whilst Steve Martin's dim-witted leader of Oh's Boov race lands a few hilarious moments among some dull ones. A clumsy go-getter with endearing optimism, cuddly colour-changing looks, and amusing speech patterns, Oh steals the spotlight whenever he is on screen, which is about 95% of the time. Its success can be attributed, in a big way, to the lovable alien Oh (Jim Parsons). The adult-targeted humour is kept to a minimum and the physical comedy is amped up to levels that is normally irritating but here works an absolute treat. It's arguably the most child-centric movie Dreamworks have produced for a few years too. When people tell you to calm down by going to your happy place, it probably looks something like this. Yet there's something so utterly sweet and innocent about Home that it zooms by with an enchanting charm.

Nor is there the amount of laughs you'll find in their classics Megamind or, again, the Kung-Fu Panda films. There are no breathtaking action sequences like in their How To Train Your Dragon and Kung-Fu Panda franchises. There's nothing particularly new or fancy about Dreamworks' latest animated affair.
