Home Alone
<PERSON> is such a whiny & obnoxious little bratling, if he was a part of my family I’d have deliberately left him in the attic.
When this was first released I disliked his character because I was 16 and everyone was raving about what a sassy and funny little cutester he was.
Now as an adult and parent, I find myself hating him for different reasons - that’s progress!
First time round it was the big, sad eyes he threw up whenever anyone picked on him and his smartypants comebacks towards the senior family members.
Now I’m finding myself irked by his sheer smugness and the way he actively finds people to get under the skin of.
And if my child spoke to me the way he does to his parents… no Xmas presents for 5 years!
I’m now feeling ashamed about focusing on just my dislike for the star instead of what makes it a really enjoyable film.
I love the sheer pigheaded refusal of <PERSON> & <PERSON> to accept that they’re simply outmatched. It reminds me of <PERSON> and his impossible mission to catch that bloody bird.
I’m not really a Grinch. 577
