The truly innocent
20 October 2019
With no small inspiration from Home Alone, John Hughes did the same kind of film involving an infant. Lara Flynn Boyle's and Matthew Glave's baby, a society child gets himself kidnapped by Brian Haley, Joe Mantegna, and Joe Pantoliano and ransom demands are made.

But these three make the two chasing MacCauley Culkin in his films look like Professor Moriarty. This crawling infant leads them on a merry chase as the kidnappers lose their kid through the city traffic, the city zoo, and a most dangerous construction site.

The kid is just the right age. Able to crawl pretty good yet hasn't developed a sense of fear. The truly innocent.

Best scenes in the film are with the gorilla as the infant bonds with the simian and the gorilla protects him from the danger of the kidnappers.

Nice family entertainment.
