On Christmas Eve, Kevin befriend with Mr. Marley and went home to prepare booby traps for the two bandits who are about to rob Kevin’s house.  The two robbers are no match with the traps and suffered a lot from Kevin.  Kevin then escaped but was captured.   Mr. Marley knocked down the two bandits with a shovel and Kevin returns home.  On Christmas day, Kate arrived home and gave Kevin a big hug then the whole family arrived right after.

This movie is hilarious especially on the part were Kevin was enjoying his time alone and when the Wet Bandits are trying to rob Kevin’s house.   I’d say the whole family would definitely enjoy this and in fact one of the best family movies at all times.   A lot of moral lessons can be derived from this movie that even toddlers would be able to relate.  Two thumbs up for this movie!

A cool and a happy ending, this is what makes this movie really interesting to watch.  It’s fun and full of wits.  This movie also shows that sometimes, people never change.  Sometimes, people try to change for good but later on get back their old self creating more chaos along the way.  This film is highly recommended for young audiences though teen agers and adults won’t really enjoy this that much.

This story will surely be enjoyed by kids.   The movie is too comical for most teenagers so they won’t enjoy it as much as the little kids do.  It’s a bit cartoonish for adults but an action packed movie.  The good thing about this movie is that they featured great actors such as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.  It took away the boringness of the movie.  It’s like an old school movie that tried its best to be modern.
