3 reasons HA4 is MUCH better than the first 3



A: Kevin is never truly 'home alone', which is great! No child should EVER be left alone! He always has a reliable adult around in case he runs into dangers, which sets a good example for parents and children, unlike the other Home Alone movies.

2: It's not gratuitously violent like the others. Violence is bad and kids should never harm others, even if they are 'bad-guy' robbers. Although I didn't approve of the damage he did to the nice house, I am glad all of the 'traps' just consisted of either spraying people with water or closing doors (albeit rudely) in faces. It was very entertaining!

D: The actors were great! They were _real_ people. Not a bunch of fake 'professionals'. French Steward could really squint his eyes hard and make funny faces, and I could really picture my retarded nephew playing the role of Kevin-- it was just _that_ real!

The sequels were all crap, but they have spawned some of the best threads on IMDb.

Buzz counting like that is hilarious.

Good one, mate. I hope it won the prestigious Golden Raspberry Award it deserved.

Every single person who thought OP was serious, I swear I hope you didn't or don't have kids... ever. What a bunch of idiots.

Not really. There are people who really feel this way.

Yeah some people can't spot sarcasm even if it's SO obvious.

Why call it Home Alone when the main character isn't really alone?
