Line 23:
The third sequel, ''Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House'' is a 2002 Made For TV sequel ([[Negative Continuity|but any continuity is absent]]). It brought back the original characters, but they were again [[The Other Darrin|all recast]] with actors who often looked nothing like the original ones, with the most [[Egregious]] examples being Buzz and Megan (originally late teenagers, now somehow preteens) and Marv (now played by French Stewart, who looks nothing like Daniel Stern, and ironically more like [[Joe Pesci]]). Much of the family is somehow missing, and Harry has been replaced with Marv's wife, Vera (Missi Pyle). Not even John Hughes had anything to do with this entry; Rod Daniel of ''[[Teen Wolf (film)|Teen Wolf]]'' and ''K-9'' fame took over the director's chair for this entry, which would prove to be [[Creator Killer|the last thing he directed]]. This one was apparently afflicted by severe [[Executive Meddling]], which heavily altered the original script in the hope of launching a TV series off the back of it. Unsurprisingly, nothing of the sort ever materialized.

The movies (especially the first two) have become something of a cultural meme in [[Poland]]. That's because since the restoration of independence in 1990, each year one of the main TV stations aired 'Home Alone' during Christmas. Today many Poles can't imagine Christmas without 'Kevin'. In the event that no station is planning to show the movie, stations are flooded with mail and petitions until one agrees to broadcast the movie. Eventually, a proverb was coined: "'Kevin' on TV? It must be Christmas coming." It's the Polish equivalent to ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'' in America.▼
