Each character in "Friends" has a distinct personality: Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) is a fashion enthusiast; Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) is a paleontologist; Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) is a chef and Monica's apartment is a central location in the series; Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) is a sarcastic IT manager; Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) is an aspiring actor; and Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) is a quirky musician. "Friends" became known for its witty humor, relatable storylines, and memorable catchphrases. The show's theme song, "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts, also became iconic. Even after its conclusion, "Friends" remains popular through reruns and streaming services, continuing to attract new generations of fans. "Home Alone" is a classic Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written by John Hughes. It was released in 1990 and stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who is accidentally left behind when his family goes on vacation to Paris for the holidays.

The film is known for its slapstick humor, memorable quotes, and heartwarming moments. It was a massive box office success and became the highest-grossing live-action comedy film in the United States at the time.
