Parent Verdict

The booby-trap violence is pure cartoon slapstick, but the burglars do explicitly threaten Kevin, and there's a scattering of mild profanity and insults kids love to repeat. The furnace and Old Man Marley subplots briefly scare younger viewers. A solid holiday pick for ages 7 and up.
