A family comedy with no family.

The McCallisters are getting ready to spend Christmas in Paris. The night before their departure, the family gathers at Peter and Kate's house in a Chicago suburb for a family dinner. Kevin, the youngest of the children, is teased by his older siblings for being immature. During a fight with Buzz, the boy ruins the family dinner. As Peter cleans up the mess, he accidentally tosses Kevin's plane ticket. Chris Columbus directed the film, and the lead is played by Macaulay Culkin, who brings Kevin to life, an eight-year-old boy who doesn't yet know his family is about to travel without him.
