On Christmas Eve, Kevin overhears Harry and Marv discussing plans for breaking into his house that night. After conversing with a Santa Claus impersonator and watching a local choir perform in a church, he comes across Marley. The two of them talk, and he learns that Marley is in fact a very nice man and the rumors about him are not true. He tells Kevin he is watching the choir because his granddaughter is in it, and he never gets to see her because he and his son have not spoken in years after a big argument they had. Kevin advises him to reconcile with his son. Anyway, the novelization does fill in a couple of plot holes, though. I always wondered why Kevin didn't just call the cops when he realized robbers were going to be coming after him. Turns out he thought about it, but was concerned they were going to arrest him for accidentally stealing the toothbrush earlier, and they were just laying in wait for him all over the neighborhood.

John Hughes wrote the story and screenplay of Home Alone. He also wrote and directed many popular films for teenagers and adults, including The Breakfast Cluband Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. (You’re going to love them when you get a little older.) Yandoli, Krystie Lee (November 9, 2015). "This Illustrated "Home Alone" Storybook Will Make You So Excited For Christmas". BuzzFeed. Archived from the original on November 29, 2017 . Retrieved April 9, 2016. It has become quite like a tradition to watch this movie every single year for christmas. I always watch it with my whole family, even my dad joins us every time. I can never decide which part of the movie I like best. Would it be the part when Kevin sets all the traps? Or when he goes shopping by himself loosing all his groceries on the street? Or maybe when he's reunited with his family again? So so so many great moments in this movie I can't even express how much I love it. Putzer, Gerald (January 3, 1993). "Sequels are B.O. Winners". Variety. Archived from the original on October 12, 2019 . Retrieved January 25, 2021. The movie's screenplay is by John Hughes, who sometimes shows a genius for remembering what it was like to be young. His best movies, such as " Sixteen Candles," " The Breakfast Club," " Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and " Planes, Trains and Automobiles," find a way to be funny while still staying somewhere within the boundaries of remote plausibility. This time, he strays so far from his premise that the movie suffers.In July 2018, Ryan Reynolds was attached to produce Stoned Alone, an R-rated Home Alone sequel film. Augustine Frizzell was hired to serve as director, with a script written by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider based on the story concept by Fox Executive, Matt Reilly. The project was to be a joint-venture production under Reynolds' Fox-based Maximum Effort Productions, with George Dewey serving as an executive producer. [14] The premise of the proposed project was stated as 'reminiscent of the hallowed comedy classic'. The plot centers on a weed-growing 'loser' (an adult Kevin McCallister) who misses his plane for a holiday skiing trip. He decides to get high, and as the paranoia side-effects set in, he believes he hears a break-in. As he discovers thieves have broken into his home, fully stoned and fueled by the weed, he tries to 'defend his castle'. Simțindu-se nedreptățit, acesta își dorește ca de Crăciun să rămână singur, întrucât simte că familia nu îl înțelege. Dorința sa îl supără pe mama lui, căreia îi vorbește pe un ton urât, însă uimitor este că visul lui se împlinește.

Marv has the habit of letting the water flow in the sink, in the houses they had robbed, as a signature and that could be used as evidence. Tightly wound and compelling ... appropriate for an older middle school and high school audience. VERDICT: Highly recommended.” – School Library Journal If "Home Alone" had limited itself to the things that might possibly happen to a forgotten 8-year-old, I think I would have liked it more. What I didn't enjoy was the subplot involving the burglars ( Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), who are immediately spotted by little Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), and made the targets of his cleverness.
