Joly Herman Common Sense Media Recycled gags with none of the original's charm. Rated: 1/5 Dec 21, 2010 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole From the unappealing cheapish opening titles to the murky production values, it's immediately obvious "Home Alone 4" isn't playing in the same park as its beloved predecessor...sad Rated: 1/5 Oct 26, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

McKay S You can't just replace every single one of the original actors, and still claim it's the same characters. This movie is just a cheap attempt to copy the vastly superior original two movies in the franchise. I prefer Home Alone 3 to this one, but not by much. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Upon my inaugural viewing of this in autumn 2016 when I was a senior in high school, I can say that I preferred this to Home Alone 3. Being that Kevin and his (only two?) siblings all appear to be around the same age, as well as the fact that this film is set in 2002, I’d be more inclined to call this a remake of sorts. From what I researched, this movie did not see a theatrical release. I believe this to be somewhat of a saving grace, as this would’ve easily been a box office flop. As far as casting goes, Mike Weinberg is atrocious. While he may have only been nine years old as of the time of filming, his acting is more akin to that of a kindergarten-age student. Macaulay Culkin portrayed a clever almost mature kid who had handyman abilities at a young age. The shallow parent figures are going through a divorce. Kevin’s siblings run him out of the house via bullying. He goes to stay at dad’s ‘smart’ mansion with him and his new fiancée. “Marv,” who looks an awful lot like Harry from 1 and 2, and his strangely attractive wife hear of a royal family coming to visit Kevin’s father and plan to kidnap their child for ransom. Through a series of predictable and uninspiring traps and an extremely tacky synth-horn soundtrack, Kevin and the butler, Mr. Prescott, foil the Marv and Vera’s plans and discover a secret tie with Molly, the housemaid. All’s well that ends well and the Wet Bandits are thrown in the slammer again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review carolina d Com atuações horrorosas, roteiro e produção decadente, e uma história desnecessária, Home Alone 4 é tão ruim que nem podemos rir de seus (diversos) problemas. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review jowell this movie just stuck Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Carson P Just like Daniel stern said this is an insult and a piece of garbage it's a disgrace to the previous home alone films how on earth is kevin still nine and why are buzz and Megan little kids here while in the first sequal they were already teenagers in high school there is just about no logic in the film except for explaining why kevins uncle, aunt and cousins are not in it because they were probably visitors in the first films and they moved by this one that doesn't help any matters this is a sequal that should stay buried and for fans of the other home alone films before should just pretend it doesn't exist or isn't in the same universe and chronological order as the first and second films with Collin avoid it like the pleague. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Valentin B The worst story I have ever seen I'm my life. The lion king (live action) made more sense than this.
