Ever wonder if Kevin’s parents are guilty of child neglect? Curious if Kevin can really use all that force on the intruders? Want to know how long Harry and Marv would go to jail as the Wet Bandits?
This is a kids movie right?
Here's my animated video on the SHOTGUN BOOBY TRAP: • The Shotgun Booby Trap (The Case Of)
Here's Patrick Willems explaining what Home Alone is GREAT: • Patrick Explains HOME ALONE (And Why ...
Summary from IMDB:
It is Christmas time and the McCallister family is preparing for a vacation in Paris, France. But the youngest in the family named Kevin got into a scuffle with his older brother Buzz and was sent to his room which is on the third floor of his house. Then, the next morning, while the rest of the family was in a rush to make it to the airport on time, they completely forgot about Kevin who now has the house all to himself. Being home alone was fun for Kevin, having a pizza all to himself, jumping on his parents' bed, and making a mess. Then, Kevin discovers about two burglars, Harry and Marv, about to rob his house on Christmas Eve. Kevin acts quickly by wiring his own house with makeshift booby traps to stop the burglars and to bring them to justice.

Have you ever watched a movie and thought “that looks illegal.” It probably is! Welcome to Laws Broken, a series on LegalEagle where I tackle your favorite movies and show you how legally irresponsible they are.
As a lawyer, it’s hard for me to watch movies, because I’m constantly thinking about how the main characters are breaking the law or opening themselves up for civil liability. But my pain is your entertainment!
Got a non-legal movie that seems illegal? Let me know in the comments!

👮♂️Should Kevin go to jail? 🚀Get the CURIOSITYSTREAM/NEBULA BUNDLE curiositystream.com/legaleagle%C2%A0 It’s the only way to get the BLOOPER REEL! FYI, I got "Kids Die Hard" from my friend Patrick Willems. Check out his video on why Home Alone is Great: https://youtu.be/O7XlmP1aa-w
-
Can we also talk about the fact that when a mother calls and says her child is home alone, and the police went to check on the house, and get no response, shouldn't that be an indication that there's a problem, not that everything is fine??
-
The real crime is standing still as a blowtorch incinerates your scalp.
-
"we know that you're in there, and that you're all alone" A reasonable jury could agree that the child may feel immediately threatened by two adults seeking violent entry into a home in which they are alone, and excessive use of force may be the child's only means of survival. Thus, all actions taken by the 8-year old could be cleared in self-defense argument.
-
Also, don't call Buzz's actions "Harmless taunting." The amount of bullying that Kevin receives from his siblings and family is a psychological nightmare. In fact, Kevin's behaviors could have been 100% attributed to his home life. I'd say the McCallisters are in need of some counseling.
-
“Kevin starts off by assaulting his brother over minor teasing” Are we charging every sibling ever for this
-
Kid: breathes Legal eagle: so much about this is illegal
-
Let's be fair, everything Kevin did at his age is still self defense against two criminals
-
There has always been the argument that he didn’t call the police since he is first introduced to Harry as a police officer and could think he is a real officer and others could be just as bad. Also the police in this movie are comically inept and portrayed as the worst service imaginable. I mean, the family called and reported a stranded child and they showed almost 0 interest.
-
Objection: as a minor, Kevin should not be expected to accurately judge how much force is considered "reasonable" or distinguish deadly from non-deadly force.
-
Kevin's main defense: He's 8.
-
Kevin can never be charged for repeated attempted murder, because in HOME ALONE 2, he already knows that Harry and Marv are immortal.
-
Felony child abandonment requires intent, the McAlisters were reckless, but they did not intentionally abandon Kevin. Perhaps there is a negligence charge which is more appropriate.
-
Technically the zipline that leads from the house window outside actually leads to a tree house in the Kevin's backyard, which is still on the property of which Kevin's family owns and therefore the castle law permitting the use of deadly force is still technically in effect. Kevin may have left the home but he is still on what is legally considered to be his property.
-
If stealing from older brother counts as a felony, then i am pretty sure all prisons in the world would have a crowd crisis
-
Fun fact! The picture of Buzz’s girlfriend is actually the directors son in a wig because they didn’t want to actually call a real girl ugly.
-
The real crimes are in the second movie where he goes out of his way to lure Harry and Marv into deathtraps in a renovated building. Plus all the identity theft.
-
Prison Inmate: What you in for? Kevin: Everything
-
"Because everything is illegal." Wow, I think that's the most Lawyer thing you've ever said lol
-
I personally don't think Kevin deserves jail, not just because he is a child, but because I have always learned that defending yourself for your safety is always incredibly important.
