If you loved Mrs. Doubtfire, try Home Alone

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Chris Columbus, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mrs. Doubtfire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Home Alone is

Suburban Chicago, snowy Christmas season, a suitcase. A family rushes to the airport, forgetting an eight-year-old boy, who sets up booby traps to defend his home against two bumbling burglars. Chris Columbus balances slapstick humor with holiday charm.
