![]() Writers Cannot Do Math: An extremely weird example: Kevin is only 9 in this film even though he was 8 in the first one and 10 in the second.Rich Bitch: Natalie has shades of this.Protagonist-Centered Morality: Again, this is the main reason Natalie is seen as a bad guy: Kevin wants Peter to get back with Kate and doesn't want him to be with someone else, Kevin is the protagonist, ergo, Natalie is bad.Fanservice: Vera, Kate, and Natalie are all beautiful women. He's right, but it's the last person he suspected: Molly the maid who happens to be Marv's mother. The Mole: Kevin suspects someone in the house is letting Marv and Vera into the house.When Natalie gets a phone call, she needs someone to turn down the music. Left the Background Music On: Kevin, Peter, and Natalie decorate the tree while "Jingle Bells" plays in the background.Also, once their first attempt to break into the house fails, Marv casually introduces Vera to Kevin. Friendly Enemy: Marv and Kevin seem to be on first-name basis with one another.Divorce Is Temporary: Come on, who didn't figure out that Peter and Kate would get back together?.Derailing Love Interests: Apart from forgetting to cancel her appointment with a tree decorator, Natalie doesn't exactly do anything too mean until she threatens to kick Kevin out of the house for ruining her and Peter's engagement party.Along with the early 2000s aesthetic, the film shows obvious technological advances (mainly Natalie's remote-controlled house) that were either not around or common in the early 90s. Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: Or rather, midquel.Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Kevin's brother Jeff and sister Linnie aren't in this movie at all.Canon Discontinuity: Seems to be this as of Home Sweet Home Alone, a Distant Sequel to the first two films that references them, but not this movie.Kate and Peter are in the middle of getting divorced, but still seem to get along after their separation, likely leading to them getting back together at the end of the movie. Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House provides examples of: ![]() Much of the family is somehow missing, and Harry has been replaced by Marv's wife, Vera ( Missi Pyle). It's the fourth installment in the Home Alone film series.Īfter Home Alone 3 had a completely new cast, this film brought back the original characters, but they were all recast with actors who often looked nothing like the original ones, like Buzz and Megan (originally late teenagers, now somehow preteens) and Marv (now played by French Stewart, who ironically looks more like the original Harry). However, many Home Sweet Home Alone reviews were not positive, finding it cliché and full of glaring plot-holes.Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House is a 2002 American Christmas family comedy made-for-television film. ![]() There's even a cameo by Kevin's brother Buzz. There are lots of fun callbacks to the original films, making it more of a remake than an addition to the series. The cast is full of talented, well-known actors who have solid comedic timing.

Stuck home alone with the chickenpox in this semi-reboot Home Alone sequel, Alex has to defend his home from the group of international criminals trying to steal back their microchip. What neither of them knows is that she accidentally grabbed the wrong package at the airport and this car has a computer chip from a North Korean terrorist group in it. Alex is given a toy RC car by his neighbor as a reward for shoveling snow. Home Alone 3 has the most outrageous plot on this list. ![]()
