Macaulay Culkin lookalike (and soundalike) Mike Weinberg steps into the role of resourceful youngster Kevin McAllister in this made-for-TV sequel to the immensely popular theatrical Home Alone trilogy... read more read more.... On this occasion, young Kevin finds himself stranded in the computerized "safe house" owned by Natalie (Joanna Going), the predatory new girlfriend of Kevin's recently divorced dad Peter (Jason Beghe). Combining the technology of the house with his own improvisational brilliance, Kevin endeavors to save a royal heir from a trio of kidnappers, one of whom is the boy's old burglar nemesis Marv Merchants (French Stewart, replacing the first two films' Daniel Stern). Needless to say, Kevin also finds time to befriend an adult "outcast" and to bring his parents back together. Home Alone 4 originally aired November 3, 2002, as an episode of the ABC anthology The Wonderful World of Disney. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Tired humour and no new gags worth remembering. The charm of the first two and the dark enthusiasm of the third are no where to be found and unlike the first three the lead protaganist is a terrible actor.

    Anyone who can enjoy a crappy made-for-TV sequel like this, I calmly pity you. There was a reason this was made for ONLY television: it was too stupid to release in theaters, and it would have become the largest box-office bomb to date.

    I did not hate it as much as the critics did, but I do like it better than the second Home Alone! I understand that it was direct to DVD, that's why I didn't hate on it. But the one big thing that is wrong with it, is that he is NOT HOME ALONE? What is that?

    This is the fourth sequal to what was once considered a classic family series. Home Alone 4 has ruined that, with horrible actors, and ridiculous unbelievable scenes. There was a few minor funny parts to the movie, but it's hard to stay interested long enough too see them.
    Serio... read moreusly.. stop with these. Its over!

    This is awful beyond words. Probably the worst film i've ever seen

    The others were good but this was absolutely awful. The plot was too predictable and the hero does not even come close to being as cute as little Macauley Culkin was in the first two. This movie was quite boring.

    Daniel Stern sums his opinion up for me. "An insult, total garbage." This movie was so bad, it made the third one good, even though I found that one stupid as well. This is why it is best to think twice when it comes to movies like this being made for TV.

    This movie is like crack. It doesn't do me any good, and I don't enjoy it at all because of all the side-effects, but I can't get enough of it.

    Only saw a few minutes of it in a Home Alone marathon. I thought it HAD to be even a bit better than the 3rd film. I was wrong. This makes criminals look like Mary Poppins.

    an abomination to movies. This makes home alone 3 look fantastic. and home alone 1&2 star daniel stern calls it "an insult, total garbage." and i completely agree

Recycled gags with none of the original's charm. Full Review

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
