On DVD

John Hughes has a knack for writing about what teenagers get up to when left to their own devices. In 'The Breakfast Club', there's shenanigans afoot when a gaggle of students get together for detention time. In
DVD Extras: Trailers for this one, the fair-to-middling sequel, and the absolutely diabolical 'Home Alone 3'.

It's Got: The late, great, John Candy as the Polka King of the Mid-West. You've got to love the big man's work.

It Needs: The fast-forward button close to hand, just in case you get a bit bored and want to skip to the really good bit.

Alternatives: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4(!)

Summary: The film that made Little Mac Culkin an overnight star still fits the festive bill - even if only for that terrific last half-hour!
