I mean really the McCallister are a horrible family of narcissistic a-holes. Who lose there child not just once, but twice. If the McCallister were poor. Kevin would be in Child Protective Services. Take a way the Slap stick humor and the Looney Tunes Violence and you have a TV movie about a Neglectful family turn there child into a psychopath. And the brave therapist that tried to help him. Either that or he becomes Michael Myers (from Halloween) best friend.

It was a large family... and it was the 80s... people weren't that obssessive about orchestrating a "perfect" childhood for their kids.... kids were allowed independence and a life of their own...
Also... it's just a movie...

Oh my god, I hate when people say "it's just a movie" on a MOVIE DISCUSSION BOARD. People come here to discuss movies, and you could say "it's just a movie" to shut down virtually any discussion. It's such a lazy argument.

@theburbs I gave a whole paragraph of discussion material 😉
anyway, i didn't mean "it's just a movie" as an excuse to shut down discussion, rather than to say that Home Alone isn't exactly made in a realistic style... there is a lot of crazy slapstick humour and such... As the original poster said himself, it IS loony toons, not just in execution, but also in it's premise...

I found the list of the best films on Netflix based on a real story. If you want to see what the real child neglect is. There's a movie called Nobody Knows.

There is no sense to dispute the degree of neglecting here as we speak about a comedy, the genre using punch parodies to the bad things that happen in real life. If we speak about child neglect as a social phenomena, it is typical for the main characters of Homealones. BTW, the adults and growners keep ignoring child's opinion but do not ignore the boy himself in the third part — he is not neglected — one of the reasons why "Home Alone 3" was and will be my favorite in the series.
