Movie Reviews of Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
Movie Review: Zero Stars If I Could...
Summary: 1 Stars
Some of the many problems with this film:
1. The criminals remind me of Bart and Burtha in Rusty, except that they are even more stupid. Yes, it is possible (unfortunately).
2. The story line is incredibly weak. If you thought Home Alone 3 was weak and overly childish, well, this film is so much worse.
3. Without pointing out any one actor, overall, each actor could have played his or her role better.
4. The film contains so many inconsistencies. For example, when Kevin's mother suspects that something is wrong at the mansion, instead of calling the police, she drives (very irradically) on the highway from her home to Kevin's father's mansion. Any sensible mother would have called the police rather than risk her own life and that of her other children (who she took with her).
5. The music in this film was nowhere near the quality of even Home Alone 3, let alone the first 2.
Note: There is no reviewer conspiracy to cause this film to be rated very low. The film really was very badly created. I have not even started to list many of the minor problems I found with this film. Suffice to say, "too many little holes can sink a large ship," and "too many little problems in a film combined with three of four major ones, caused any film to sink very, very quickly."
Summary of Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
It's tough being nine. Tougher still is spending Christmas with dad (Jason Beghe) at his new girlfriend Natalie's (Joanna Going) mansion even though it's loaded with all the techno-gadgets any kid could hope for! But this Christmas, Kevin (Michael Weinberg) is really in hot water again, and so are Marv (French Stewart) and his sidekick (Missi Pyle), who are trying to rob Natalie's house!With funnier and more high-tech, crime-stopping wizardry at his disposal than ever, Kevin just might finally put these crooks on ice forever - and keep his parents together while he's at it - in this uplifting, hilarious comedy the whole family is sure to love!
