Blooper Reel (SD, 2 min) - A very dirty (picture quality, not content) set of mishaps and screw ups on set.The Blu-ray release of 'Home Alone' isn't too spectacular, with pedestrian audio and video, and a port of the DVD extras, making this release not exactly a must own, but for those without the film, what better time than now to add it to the collection?

Detractors who haven't seen it in ages should give it another chance, as it really has the ability to change one's thoughts.
