Viewers of Home Alone have noticed certain elements that they believe negatively impact the Christmas feel.
As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to settle in with some classic Christmas movies to embrace the festive atmosphere.
There are a variety of films that define the season, whether it’s the Grinch causing chaos in Whoville, the endearing Muppets Christmas Carol, or the ongoing debate about Die Hard as a Christmas movie.
Among these beloved traditions is Home Alone, where young Kevin McCallister crafts intricate traps to fend off two bumbling burglars in his family home.
The film’s combination of humor, charm, and warmth has cemented its status as a beloved Christmas staple and led to a series of sequels.
However, despite its appeal, TikToker 1minutecritic has pointed out several technical oversights in the film.
What are these slip-ups sparking such reactions?
The initial error occurs during a seemingly minor moment where a child pesters a van driver.
As the driver says, ‘gee kid I dunno, hit the road,’ a close-up reveals the child mouthing the line along with the actor.
In another scene, Kevin is seen preparing to sled down a staircase.
A downward shot reveals that the stairs don’t align with the home’s front door.
Nevertheless, Kevin manages to exit through the door, and as he airborne, wheels can be seen on the prop sled.
Continuity issues also arise.
In one scene, Kevin is in dark pants, but upon returning home, he’s wearing blue jeans.
Shortly after, when setting a trap, his pants have reverted to the original pair.
Despite these errors, the TikToker emphasized his continued love for the film.
Viewers shared their thoughts in the comments, with one person saying: “I didn’t notice because I love this movie.”
Another commented: “This movie can have 1000 flaws and I’d still love it.”
However, a different opinion emerged, simply stating: “Christmas ruined. Thanks man.”
Oh dear.
