Home alone 4 initial release6/29/2023 ![]() Wrong Genre Savvy: Kevin thinks The Butler Did It.There's no sign this is meant to be a prequel or anything (indeed, if it were, it would raise a bunch of other issues such as where is Harry? and where did Vera go between movies?) as such, we can only assume it was some sort of bizarre oversight on their part. 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.Misplaced Vegetation: Palm trees are seen in a few shots, even though this film is set in the Chicago suburbs.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, Home Alone 4 and Holiday Heist are only available via VOD, so you’ll have to rent these movies to watch them.Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House is a 2002 American Christmas family comedy made-for-television film. The third movie is also on Disney+, as well as Home Sweet Home Alone, the latest movie. ![]() Home Alone and Home Alone 2 are streaming on Disney+ with your regular subscription. To quickly recap, here’s a list of all the Home Alone movies: Finally, we have Home Sweet Home Alone, the latest installment that premiered on November 2021. Home Alone: The Holiday Heist came in 2012 follows another family and, honestly, I’ve never seen it. Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House isn’t great, either. This movie premiered in 1997 and follows a different story. Then, there’s Home Alone 3, with a new cast. I watch both back-to-back every holiday season. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York came out just two years later in 1992, and some may argue that it’s better than the first! That’s how loved these movies are. The original movie premiered in 1990 and continues to be a classic more than three decades later. The main Home Alone cast includes Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O’Hara, Joe Pesci, Kieran Culkin, and many others. A new Home Alone movie was recently released, which has many fans confused - how many Home Alone movies are there? There’s just nothing better to put you in that holiday spirit than to watch your favorite Christmas movies while cooking, wrapping presents, or just enjoying some time with family. The Home Alone movies are always at the top of our list each holiday season.
