I also really liked Joanna Going as Natalie, Kevin’s would-be stepmother.Īnd the film did have a couple good moments, MAJOR SPOILER ALERT like when Prescott knocked out Molly. I also really liked Barbara Babcock as Natalie’s maid Molly. He’s one of those actors who’s hard to dislike. I also rather liked Erick Avari’s performance as Natalie’s butler and head of security, Mr Prescott, who is possibly Marv and Vera’s inside man. First of all, I kinda like the premise Kevin accidentally crossing Marv’s path AGAIN and foiling a royal kidnapping. OK, before I get into why this is my first negative review since Jesus, I’ll discuss what I liked about the film. With the help of their man inside, what could go wrong? Unfortunately, Marv (French Stewart), one of the Wet Bandits, and his new wife Vera (Missi Pyle) have escaped from prison – and are targeting Natalie’s place. Not wanting his Dad to be separated from all his children at Christmas, 9-year-old Kevin (Mike Weinberg) goes to stay with him and Natalie for Christmas. Peter has moved in with his rich new girlfriend, Natalie Kalban (Joanna Going), who is expecting a royal family to stay with her for the holidays (Royal Family of where? We’re never told we don’t even get their names, apart from the Consort). Unfortunately, the 4th installment – subtitled Taking Back the House in America – is arguably one of my biggest film disappointments.Ī year or 2 after Home Alone 2, Peter and Kate McCallister (Jason Beghe and Clare Carey) have split, on the verge of divorce. I love the first 3 Home Alone – as evidenced by my reviews – and am definitely in the minority in defending Home Alone 3. That is of course the Australian rating in the United States, it’s not rated.Īs usual, I’ll give the trailer and a clip at the end.Īnd as usual, I’ll offer the following disclaimer, just in case: Home Alone 4 (2002), rated PG for low level violence.Welcome to the 26th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) and Home Alone 3 (1997).
