Where is this kid’s resourcefulness? Kevin is supposed to be smarter than this. He then decides to accept his dad’s invitation, then proceeds to dig into his piggy bank for the taxi fare rather than use the phone to call his father. I’m sure that was just a lame attempt to try to make him look like Macaulay Culkin from the first two movies, but it’s about as convincing as his earlier angry face. After his mother comes home, he wishes that he was an only child and storms up to his room. After doing several chores, Kevin pouts poorly – it looks more like he’s about to kiss someone than anything else.
The sheer audacity of this is astounding. Buzz has the nerve to … make him do all the chores. Later that evening, Buzz is told to babysit Kevin. McCallister because we never learn her maiden name. Oh, and I’ll refer to Kevin’s mom as Mrs.

All three kids decline at the moment, but we all know that there wouldn’t be a movie if Kevin didn’t change his mind later. Which country is this royal family from? The movie never tells us. McCallister invites the kids over for Christmas with him and his new fiancé, and even tells them that a royal family will be there. Also, wouldn’t dating someone before you’ve officially divorced work against your settlement? They also seem to be a bit too civil for a soon to be divorced couple. I’m pretty sure a real conversation like that would involve maybe a bit more emotion from his ex-wife, but she takes it rather casually. McCallister pops by to casually tell his wife that he’s getting married … eight months after they separated. (The man in this picture is supposed to be Marv – the tall bandit from the first movie.)

They turn Megan into the same kind of bully too – wasn’t she one of Kevin’s more “concerned” siblings? Kevin himself is boring in this movie, to the point where it’s more entertaining to stare at a crack in the road and watch it grow.
He doesn’t even try to hide his antics from their mother. Also, while Buzz was a jerk to Kevin in the first two movies, he’s just way over the top in this one. This is supposed to take place after the first two movies, yet every single character looks younger than the first Home Alone. Perhaps the worst offence is the casting itself though. You couldn’t find enough child actors to portray more than just Buzz and Megan? How cheap are you? They don’t even offer any kind of explanation – they completely ignore his other siblings. Home Alone 3 didn’t have the theme much, but at least it hinted the theme with the movie’s intro.Īnother thing you’ll notice is that Kevin only has two siblings when he had four in the originals. It isn’t even close – it feels exactly like the cheap cash-in that it is. The first thing you’ll notice about Home Alone 4 is that it doesn’t have the Home Alone musical theme. He totally looks like Macaulay Culkin, doesn’t he.) Yeah, let’s ruin as many childhoods as possible, because fond childhood memories are for wimps. Instead of some big Christmas vacation that somehow leaves Kevin home alone, his parents are getting a divorce. It features the same character as the first two movies, Kevin McCallister, but none of the original cast.

Home Alone 4 released as a made for TV movie in 2002, and released on DVD the year after. Admittedly I liked Home Alone 3 when it first came out, but now it just feels lame. At times it felt a bit mean-spirited, and some of the traps look like their straight out of a horror movie. In 1997, Home Alone 3 released, featuring neither the original character nor the charm that made the first two movies work. Home Alone 2 released two years later and while it was still entertaining, it wasn’t nearly as good as the first one. If you haven’t seen it, you really should.
It’s such a classic that it needs no introduction. Home Alone is a classic Christmas movie from 1990 written by John Hughes.
