To think Home Alone 4 is Basic Instinct for kids?

[MorrisZapp]

If you haven't seen Home Alone 4, I beg you never to watch it. It's next level shite. Truly unwatchably bad.

But, DS insisted and now I'm pissed off. The mandatory happy ending comes when Kevin's father dumps the beautiful but child hating woman he walked out on his family for, and goes back to his adoring wife.

Cold bitch is left snarling while the happy family all hug each other, snow falls, credits roll.

I really wasn't planning to deliver a sermon on sexual politics tonight but I had to bloody say something. DS was happy because 'she got dumped'.

I gave an age appropriate explanation of why it was Kevin's father we should have been booing for leaving his family in the first place but I shouldn't have to, it's a lightweight piece of crap that doesn't warrant attention or analysis.

It was a kids version of 'kill the bitch'. Could have been worse though, if they'd employed convincing actors DS might have really taken their shite, sexist message to heart.

I had no idea there was a 5th, thanks to this thread I do.
It must be the outcast of the home alone family to not make it on any of the box sets.

I love 1 and 2. Never seen the others.
It's funny to think that now - in the age of tech - 1 and 2 wouldn't happen. Mum and Dad would just text Kevin or tag him on FB or something!

There's that scene where they are gathered around payphones calling answering machines of the neighbours.
Certainly would be different today.

I'd like to think that the police would actually check on him too, instead of getting annoyed when he doesn't answer the door, and walking away.

ginger you're right! And I bet it wouldn't pass the standard for films. Too much violence!

Thank you MorrisZapp , it's amazing how I obviously thought nothing of it! Won't be showing it to 6yo yet so!!
