HOME ALONE 4 KEVIN MOVIE

This film has so many holes that you could strain pasta through it. Now, I admit the first two weren’t exactly watertight and they required a huge suspension of disbelief. It’s such a pointless story and there are so many plot holes. Kevin doesn’t use his cunning to prevent Marv from entering the house. Hell, even the third film seems like an Oscar winner in comparison to this.

It’s also not as clever as the first films. Although, jokes is perhaps the wrong word to use as this really isn’t funny. The lack of familiarity is no doubt why the film relies so much on callbacks and in-jokes. This version of Marv is definitely a reject from 3rd Rock from the Sun. Especially as French Stewart doesn’t really have the skill to play someone who seems like a real human being. It’s difficult to see why this film was made at all but you really have to wonder why they brought back Marv of all people. He also can’t make up his mind if he’s more Marv, Harry or someone completely different. Although this time Marv has a different face. Kevin’s parents and siblings are all back for more as is Marv, one half of the duo that he terrorised before. There is very little besides the name that links this character to the one we’ve seen before. Of course, it doesn’t help that the fourth film completely changes Kevin’s personality. It’s just bad and gives me a greater appreciation for Macaulay Culkin. Now, I admit that this kid wasn’t exactly working with an A+ script but that can’t be the only excuse for his awful performance. What it does tell us is that not all child actors are created equal. I never expected this film to be good but I at least thought it would be one of those “so bad it’s funny” films. I mean, in the first film Buzz is a giant but now he’s barely a teenager. Nobody looks the same and the ages are incredibly inaccurate. Although, it’s been a while and the original cast are nowhere to be seen.

A film that sees the return of the McCallister family after the third films standalone plot.

HOME ALONE 4 KEVIN MOVIE

I wish it had been something more worthwhile but, instead, I’m here talking about the fourth movie in the Home Alone franchise. Yes, I knew about the disappointing 3rd film but another sequel that tried to recapture the magic of the first two? I had to see what this was about.Īs tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I still have a lot of wrapping to do, this will be my last blog post before Christmas. So, it was very upsetting for me to learn that there is a fourth film in the franchise that sees Kevin McCallister played by some other kid. A lot of what makes the films good is down to Macaulay Culkin. While both films are great in their own right, they’re just not the greatest. Some may even believe that its sequel is the best.

Many people may mistakenly believe that Home Alone is superior. Something that will keep happening until everyone just accepts that it’s The Muppet Christmas Carol. I know that there is a lot of debate at this time of year about what the best Christmas film is.
