Peter is speculated to be a day trader and Kate a fashion designer, based on the official novelization of the film. The McCallister family's extravagant lifestyle, including their expensive home and trips, raises questions about their source of income. Some theories suggest Peter could be involved in criminal activities or that they inherited a fortune. The McCallisters' ability to afford lavish vacations and accommodations, such as a penthouse in Paris and a suite at the Plaza Hotel, hints at a possible shady or fraudulent source of money. The true explanation remains unknown.

As a kid, Home Alone wasn’t just the funniest Christmas movie I had ever seen, it was also the scariest. And it wasn’t Old Man Marley, the Wet Bandits, or the furnace in Kevin’s basement that had me quaking in my boots. No, it was the specter of a man whose scowl and withering tone conjured up memories of about four different family relatives all at once. Uncle Frank (Gerry Bamman) only appeared in a handful of scenes over the course of the first film, but in those brief snippets, the actor, who was aided by John Hughes’ script and the direction of Chris Columbus, was able to convey something that rang so painfully true for so many families out there.
We all have that one uncle or aunt who can be cruel, cheap, cantankerous, selfish and often downright rude. And yet, because they are family, we endure them over the holidays,...

In 1990, viewers were introduced to Kevin McCallister and his journey in fending off burglars in Home Alone. The movie became a classic and is now rewatched again and again every holiday season. With Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern as the leads, Home Alone had some of the best '90s actors on-screen.
It's been over 30 years since the movie's release and there have been sequels and remakes to give fans even more Home Alone moments, but nothing beats the original. Culkin was only nine years old while filming the movie. Now a 42-year-old, he's older than O'Hara was when she played his mom. With so much time that's gone by, it's amazing to see how far the actors have come and what they look like now.

Even though it’s Uncle Frank (Gerry Bamman) who really lashes out at Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) in Home Alone by calling him a little jerk after he causes a commotion that gets soda spilled on the pizza and airline tickets, pretty much everyone who loves watching this movie knows that Uncle Frank is the real […]

Twenty-five years ago, Macaulay Culkin taught the world that a home invasion can result in physical comedy magic and family fun for all. Yes, Home Alone first opened in theaters on Nov. 16, 1990. Of course, Home Alone taught us other lessons too. For example, you can accidentally abandon your child without getting in trouble with Child Protective Services. We learned that a scary old man next door just might be a lonely guy who's handy with a snow shovel. And perhaps most important of all, Home Alone proved you can make a successful movie starring one child actor onscreen alone for...
