— Critical consensus, summarised
The 90s Christmas comedy that became a generational fixture — wildly successful, surprisingly mean, and held together by Macaulay Culkin's perfect kid timing and Joe Pesci's slapstick suffering. Critics were mixed at the time; the holiday tradition has overruled them.
