With the festive season knocking at the doorstep, movie buffs gearing up for a nostalgia marathon, and one film to always make the cut is Home Alone. However, a recent TikTok video offers a critical of this 1990 Christmas comedy film. The TikToker’s insightful clip highlights glaring flaws and plot holes, prompting fans to re-evaluate the popular Christmas movie.
TikTok critic lists down flaws from beloved Christmas movie Home Alone
A viral TikTok has sparked a wave of scrutiny on the 1990 classic film. The One Minute Critic, exposing mind-boggling plot holes and imperfections, is getting much clout on social media. The realisation resonated strongly with the movie’s enthusiasts, who couldn’t believe that such obvious mistakes had slipped their notice.
Starting with the first flaw, the TikToker shows the scene of the morning, and the McCallisters are rushing to the airport. A neighbourhood kid living across the street is bothering one of the van drivers, who is busy boarding the family’s luggage. The critic then points out how the driver and the kid are visibly mouthing the exact same words during their exchange.
The second mistake is something that the narrator says “bothered him a lot” while he was a kid. It’s the one where Kevin tries to ride the sled down the stairs when it’s quite evident that the stairs don’t perfectly align with the front door. Nevertheless, the next scene shows the protagonist effortlessly sliding out of the door before landing on the snow. Pinpointing yet another mistake, the TikToker highlights how Kevin’s sled had wheels, something traditional sleds weren’t equipped with.
The final flaw is a big one, raising questions of how it remained unraveled for so long. When Kevin rushes out of the church after talking to his old neighbour, he is seen wearing dark pants. However, as he reaches his front porch, he is clearly wearing blue jeans. The mistake worsens when Kevin dons the same dark pants in the very following clip while setting booby traps for the two burglars.
Concluding his observation, the TikTok video creator said that Home Alone will continue to remain a Christmas classic despite its shortcomings.
