Current Events > Were the McAllisters like one of the worst families ever?

(+) Yeah! (+)

They must've paid zero attention to how Buzz and Kevin got along. Also, how are there 15 people packed in a kitchen and literally nobody else sees Buzz instigate Kevin by pretending to throw up a pizza?

Then when Kevin sets off the series of events that leads to spilled milk and makes a mess, the entire family just assumes he pushed Buzz for no reason. They don't ask why he did it. They just assume he was being a little shit that did it for no reason.

Then, on top of all of that, Uncle Frank calls him out in front of the whole family and everyone just nods and agrees with him.

WHAT IS THIS FAMILY

A movie family that does stupid things to move the plot along.

---

The whole family is what the French call, "les incompetents."

What did Rob McCallister do for a job in France that he can afford to fly 15 people to Paris for Christmas?

---

They are quite horrible

However the worst family is the family from home alone 3. The two older kids straight up maliciously attacked the young kid and then both the parents gaslit him and then proceeded to almost let North Korea obtain a missile blocking chip.

there are fan theories that hes part of the mob or something lmao.

the book just says hes in business
I get like an accountant vibe from him so he must have extremely wealthy clients or something.

I mentioned this several weeks ago, but Uncle Frank is a total piece of shit.

do you not realize this happens in real families

The mom can still get the D tho, mr. McAllister has to watch

Pretty much. They sent their kid to sleep in an attic room too. Now, even for a super nice house that it was, that attic didn't look that insulated or heated and this is during the winter with snow on the ground. Poor kid was going to freeze.

And in 2 where Buzz is obviously picking on Kevin during the recital thing and instigating the whole thing. Kevin obviously was in the wrong, but they acted like Buzz was completely innocent and let him be a smart ass and all. Plus they scolded and punished Kevin in front of the entire family.

I don't see it changing that much. The parents didn't learn their lesson during the first movie and I doubt they do in the second so the abuse and neglect is probably going to continue on from there. Kevin is going to grow up to be a problem. He already shown to have violent tendencies and anger issues. He's headed to being a drug addict and/or being in prison. These fun holiday movies with cartoon violence are actually pretty depressing deep down.

Oh god I hated those people. Didn't even realise until years later that the sister was Scarlett Johansson.

Amazing how often they ignore Uncle Frank's freeloading behavior. Like who the fuck would bring his cheap ass along a family vacation and he's barely going to pitch in the expenses, go fuck ya self Frank!
