'Home Alone' is a series of four films that were based on the adventures of a boy named Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who during the course of the film gets burglars Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) arrested by using booby traps. However in Home Alone 4, the antagonists for Kevin are Marv (now played by French Stewart, and originally cast as Richard Holman), his wife Vera (Missi Pyle), and later his mom Molly (Barbara Babcock), revealed later in the film. The third film has a similar plot but with a new protagonist, Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz), and more of a spy theme. The first two films were directed by Chris Columbus, the third film was directed by Raja Gosnell (who was the editor of the first two films), the fourth film was directed by Rod Daniel. The first two films had Kevin getting separated from his family and trying to get two robbers, Harry and Marv, arrested, whom he bumps into at the climax of the films. The first film became the highest grossing film of 1990, grossing $476,684,675 worldwide. The film made a major star of Macaulay Culkin. In Home Alone, Kevin is 8 years old and in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, he's 10. Home Alone 3 was released on December 12, 1997. It originally was going to have Kevin return as a teenager, but Macaulay Culkin dropped out of child acting in 1994, so it was changed to a whole different family and robbers. The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award. Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, a television film, brought back Kevin but the cast was changed, and the plot does not maintain continuity with Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. |
