Why did they even make this movie , this is the worst home alone remake they have EVER made!! Seriously this has terrible acting and its just to cringey !! This is a 1hr. And 29 min of my life wasted !

Okay Home Alone 1 & 2 were really good. Home Alone 3 isn't worth watching but Home Alone 4.........well it is just piece crap!!! I can't believe there would ever be a 4th installment of Home Alone. Even though Macauley Culkin is too old to portray Kevin now they could have picked an older actor. Like someone in his early teens. Kevin is still 9 more than 10 years later. Also whatever happened Kevin's other brother and sister? In this movie there are only 3 kids and there are originally 5 kids in the first two movies. Let's just hope there are no plans for Home Alone 5 any time soon. Too many holes in the plot as well makes this a bad movie. I give it a 0 out of 10.

Inarguably one of the worst movies ever made. "Movie" flatters it. This is a home video and I would think any one of 200 million families could be handed a camcorder and come up with a more interesting 89 minutes. What the HELL is this? well, apart from a lingering insult to the first two Home Alone movies...who's to say! The second sequel was unmitigated trash, but compared to this, eligible for "best picture!" Everything from the script, the acting to the sets, seemingly knocked-up from left-overs at the nearest Reject shop, smack of Z-grade involvement. How this ever made it to a boxed set of four Home Alone movies, beats me. Kevin's age doesn't even tally with the series...he's younger here than he was in New York...by his OWN admission. A screaming disaster from the opening scenes. Shoddy, wooden, synthetic, cheap and ultimately embarrassing for all concerned - but no more so than for the viewer! Completely deserving of a minus one rating! I strenuously recommend that you give this shonk a wide berth!

On its only as a Christmas movie passable as most Christmas movies are but to tagg it a home alone is silly enjoy the movie as a one off love his bedroom fantastic.

Are you guys crazy? On drugs? You joking? So your telling me you all hate this movie? Are you out of your mind? This movie is awesome. Hello? You kidding me right? Look I agree with all of you that home alone 1 and 2 is better. But home alone 3 and 4 is also good. So is home alone 5. Are you all crazy? I think you all need to re watch it. I really don't think this is so horrible. You joking? Are you crazy? Look home alone 4 is not horrible at all. Even though not that great, its still good. So if you never watched it, should you watch it? Oh yeah definitely. You don't have to like it, but its so worth watching. I would rather watch this movie 1 million times than getting a million dollars. I would even watch it way more that a million times if i could. Look I am not lying, its actually really good. Can't believe all you fools, that on the first page, that you all said it was bad.

Kevin is back once again in this awful fourth installment of the classic home alone films one of the reason this film is so bad is because it has a weak plot and none of the original actors/actresses at all are in it!Kevin [Mike Weinberg]is at Natalie`s home {Joanna Going}his Dads girlfriend because his parents have split up.And you can most likely guess the plot Marv [French Stewart] is back along with his new accomplice Vera To rob his house once again.The plot is weak and the story drags on and does not make sense for the following reasons: 1:None of the original actors are in it and what happened to Harry? 2:Kevin was about 12 in number 2 he is now 10! 3:He had about 4-5 siblings he now has three! 4:Buzz was a scary teenager in the other installments hes now a wimp and hes younger. 5:The actor who plays Kevin in this installment Mike Weinberg has brown hair,Kevin had blond hair. 6:Why would Marv come back and try and rob Kevin again when he has already been caught twice? My conclusion is that this is a complete waste of time watching and making they have not even tried to get characters to look like they did in the 1st films even though there different actors but thats not the point!Number Three was bad enough but number four was just a lame excuse for bad actors to star in films,i hope the filmmakers know what they have done!!!!!!!! They have crossed the line!!!!>:[ 0/10

First, I'll give a little background about what I thought about the previous Home Alone movies: The first two movies were childhood favorites of mine. They basically played on every kid's fantasies of being left alone to do anything they wanted. Kevin got to screw around the house/New York, spend lots of money, watch violent movies, talk back to adults, and beat the bad guys. What little kid wouldn't want to be Kevin? Home Alone 3 was trash. It was obviously just an attempt to cash in on the franchise, and resembled the original two in nothing but name. Replacing badass Kevin was a completely new, annoying kiddie brainiac. Instead of being truly left home alone for an extended period of time, the kid was just staying home sick with the chicken pox. And instead of a simple story about a kid fighting off two bumbling burglars, there was some lame wannabe James Bond plot about international spies working for the North Koreans. The franchise was pretty much dead with the aging of Macauly Culkin, and I couldn't believe this movie was even made. I didn't think the Home Alone series could sink any lower. I was wrong. Home Alone 4 came out as a made-for-TV movie, on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney. It's TV origins definitely showed in the poor production values and acting. I watched this movie only because I had nothing better to do, and I wanted to see whether this one would be as big a failure as the third. It turned out to be worse. They at least they got it right by using Kevin as the main character, but it was all downhill from there. It's like the writers didn't even watch the first two movies. I understand the use of younger actors, since the originals are now too old. However, Kevin, Buzz, and everyone else actually seemed younger than they were in the originals. The kid in this movie was Kevin in name only. The badass Kevin from the originals was reduced to some whiny, 5 year old crybaby. His parents were now in the middle of a divorce, which was very painful to him. Uh, when the hell was the Home Alone series ever about divorce? At one point Kevin's father mentions that his family always stays up to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" because it's one of their traditions. Funny, I never remembered seeing that tradition in the previous movies. Marv of the Wet Bandits was back, but he too was completely changed. The real Marv was a goofy moron, while this guy was a grumpy grouch (it looked like the writers got him mixed up with his partner Harry from the originals). Harry was gone, replaced by Marv's fat, whiny wife. When the hell was Marv ever married? The jokes were lame and unfunny, and because the movie was made by Disney, there was also very little violence. The original Kevin hurled bricks and he laid complex systems of traps involving fire, electricity, and sharp objects. The new Kevin never even had a plan in this movie, and he resorted to such wimpy tactics as locking a burglar into an elevator, and using prerecorded messages to fool the others. Nothing in this movie, from its attitude to its characters, resembles the originals. It really fails to recapture the greatness of the movies that preceded it. In a way, I guess that's a good thing. The lack of continuity makes it easier for us to just forget about this piece of trash.

I thought this movie was going to be inventive, un-recycled and have new punch lines. Instead, they have to make this movie stupid, campy, and bland. Kevin is a little brat now, just leeching off Natalie and his dad, who separated from his nice mom for a sybaritic, selfish twad. He disrespects the butler, who is an infinitely better actor than the others in this film. And most of all, MARV LOOKS LIKE HARRY FROM THE OTHER 2 FILMS! He even has a stupid hooker wife named Vera. French Stewart does a horrid rendition of Harry and Marv. They don't even do robberies anymore! It's now staged to the more dismal subject of child abduction. It is also accompanied by atrociously bland dialogue, pitiful acting, hilariously bad sound effects, and the picture quality makes it look like it was filmed in the mid-1980's. There is even a shot of the houses at night done with a cheap home camcorder. It's a good thing I spent only 1.00 on a crappy dollar-store tape for this movie! I was seriously disappointed. I've seen some MST3K films and some are way more noble than this crap! Standing out 24 hrs in 10 degrees Fahrenheit is way cooler than watching this movie. -No pun intended
