There are quite a fewHome Alonemoments that only adults seem to notice.
Additionally, there are moments inHome Alonethat have us wondering why we never noticed them ourselves as kids.
As 8-year-old Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin)says, “I’m a lot smaller than you.
Here are a fewHome Alonemoments that only adults seem to notice.
Who let in the cop during the opening scene of Home Alone?
That’s about as well as anybody can do these days, huh?”
Well, they should also actuallyusethose locks.
Who’s to say the cop didn’t just let himself in?
He evenapologizesfor his misdoings, but his mother still makes him stay up in the attic.
Because of that, the poor little boy misses eating dinner altogether.
Surprisingly, Kevin misses meals more than once in the movie, which only adults notice.
The poor kid never gets a chance to ever eat dinner!
It seems like he has nothing better to do than to snoop around at Kevin’s house.
Were his parents not watching him from across the street?
Even after the driver tells Mitch to beat it, he jumps into the minivan too.
The parenting throughout this film is far from admirable, which only adults notice.
Luckily, little Kevin seems to know he shouldn’t talk to strangers.
Uncle Frank is a terrible influence in Home Alone
Oh, Uncle Frank (Gerry Bamman).
This bad, bald man is bad news.
It’s not even rated R, so how bad can it be?
It seems especially rude to yell at an 8-year-old kid.
It’s obviously his first time flying first class, where he’s served a drink in real crystal.
“Put it in your purse!”
Hetellshis wife, hoping they can steal it.
Who’s to say he’s never stolen anything from the McAllister’s house too?
He’s certainly not someone we would want our kids around.
She’s completely thrown off-guard just like the rest of us.
Shouldn’t he have called the police?
Adults certainly notice that he should have!
It was made specifically forHome Alone(viaVanity Fair).
Heturns away from drying his clothesand demands the boiler stop tormenting him.
And even if heisout of clothes, an 8 year old wouldn’t normally choose to do laundry.
There’s only one possible answer that only adults notice: Tide paid forproduct placement.
Without any other explanation, it seems as though Santa assumed Kevin’s family has passed away.
Are there any responsible adults in this movie at all?
Santa could have saved himself some money if only he had driven his sleigh.
It would have beenon the house get it?
Without even thinking, she hops into his van so she can get home.
However, adults notice this isn’t the safest solution to her problem.
Instead, Kate flies from Paris to Dallas to Scranton, and loses precious time arguing with airlines.
However, the old man is just there to see his granddaughter sing that afternoon.
Well, why isn’t his son watching his daughter rehearse, too?
In an era without cell phones, it’s not like his granddaughter could warn him, either.
Furthermore, in the background, the church is filled with many older people watching the young performers.
The two burglars seek revenge too, so when theyget aholdof Kevin, they want to torture him.
Lucky for Kevin, the old man must have been headed home from church when he saw him.
Perhaps he ran into his son there, and the two of them made up?
In that case, Kevin is the true hero for inspiring him to do so.
Besides, Kevin was more than confident that he could handle things on his own.
“This is my house,” hestatesas soon as he gets home.
“I have to defend it.”
The bravery he’s gained from overcoming his fear of the basement has definitely gone to his head.
Abandoning a child is a class four felony in Chicago, according to theIllinois General Assembly.
Technically, Kevin’s parents do turn themselves in for it.
However, it seems like the police officer (Larry Hankin) isn’t very understanding.
“You want us to go to your house just to check on him?”
Even so, a police officer ends up heading over to the McAllister’s house.
So it’s no surprise that no one shows up to press charges against Kevin’s parents.
No presents or family members have arrived either.
This is a parent’s worst nightmare, though it’s also something only adults noticed.
It’s either that or Kevin is really bad at baking.
Give him a break.
He’s only 8!
