'''NC (vo):''' Christ, I would believe ''(A shot of the McCallister family, sans Peter and Kate, from the first two movies is superimposed) any one'' of these family members would separate ''except (A shot of Peter and Kate is now shown)'' these two! They were ''literally'' the only ones who seemed to like each other!

(The Channel Awesome logo is shown, followed by the intro. NC is seen with his head resting on his hand, his fingers drumming as though pondering something)
NC: (deadpan) Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Well, it's after Christmas, but it's still December. Got any expired Christmas leftovers?
(The poster for Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House is shown)
NC: (shrugs) There's no other time I'm reviewing it.
(The title for Home Alone 4 is shown, followed by footage of the film)
NC (vo): From the director of (poster of...) Teen Wolf...
NC: (confused) Huh?
NC (vo): ...and (poster of...) Beethoven's 2nd...
NC: That's more like it. (nods)
NC (vo): ...Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House was the first Home Alone film to be released straight to television and DVD. They took away all the actors (The poster of Home Alone 3 is superimposed) in the last movie, so I guess it figures to take away the actual theaters next. (An article showing Warner Bros.' plan to release all of its 2021 releases to HBO Max and theaters at the same time) A plan Warner Bros. would soon cling to. I really had no interest in looking this over, but being in that emotional purgatory between Christmas and New Year's, I guess I should give the people what they...well, not want, because nobody wanted this, but...let's say "cautiously asked about". Let's wrap up this year with what I wish was the end of this series. (The poster for Home Alone: The Holiday Heist is superimposed)
NC: By...kinda demand, this is Home Alone 4.
(As the movie opens on a shot of a house done up in Christmas lights, the opening credits are shown, with French Stewart in the cast)
NC (vo): Always a good sign when that's the first name you see. (The camera zooms in close on the name) Unless there's an (The word "Add" appears over Stewart's name) "And" or (The word "With" replaces "And" over Stewart's name) "With" on top, that does not bode well. But don't worry, it gets better. You know how, in the last movie, they couldn't get (A shot of a promo piece for Home Alone 3 is superimposed) any of the cast back, so they just wrote new characters? Well, say hello to Kevin McCallister, everybody!
(A shot of the original Kevin from the first two movies is shown in the corner as we are shown this movie's Kevin, who is played by Mike Weinberg. Other members of Kevin's family are shown)
NC (vo): Oh, yeah, that's Buzz [played by Gideon Jacobs this time] and Mom [played by Clare Carey this time] and Dad [played by Jason Beghe this time]. Aunt Viv's transition flowed smoother than this!
(Kevin is watching an old home movie of his family's Christmas.)
Kate: All right, merry Christmas!
Family: Merry Christmas!
(Kate enters Kevin's room.)
Kate: Last Christmas, huh?
Kevin: Yeah.
NC (vo; as Kevin): A shame the rest of the family died in the Bermuda Triangle. (another voice) We should've made a film about that.
Kate: We're gonna do all the same things we've always done: sing Christmas carols, put cookies and milk out for Santa...
NC: (shaking head) God, that's just how I remember Catherine O'Hara's character!
(A clip of the first Home Alone is shown)
Kevin (Macaulay Culkin): I'm sorry.
Kate (Catherine O'Hara): It's too late.
(Cut back to Home Alone 4)
Kevin: I'm sick of being everyone's favorite joke around here.
Kate: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to be the youngest.
(Cut again to Home Alone 1)
Kevin: Everyone in this family hates me.
Kate: Then maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.
(Cut to a clip of another movie (I forget which one, though))
Man: What the hell's going on? I MEAN, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
(Cut back to Home Alone 4)
NC (vo): Oh, and here's a fun addition: the mom and dad are divorced.
Kate: I know you miss your dad. When people are married for a long time, they get into kind of a rut.
NC (vo): Christ, I would believe (A shot of the McCallister family, sans Peter and Kate, from the first two movies is superimposed) any one of these family members would separate except (A shot of Peter and Kate is now shown) these two! They were literally the only ones who seemed to like each other! It's like saying (A shot of Gomez and Morticia Addams is superimposed now) Gomez and Morticia split because they were too gloomy. There's so many reasons that doesn't work!
Kevin: (running toward front door) Dad!
Peter: Hey, big guy! (hugs Kevin)
NC (vo): Dad does drop by, though, to talk to Kate privately.
Peter: Well, you know, Natalie and I living together...and, uh, I'm gonna marry her.
(To a somber piano note, Kate stares)
NC: (incredulously) Jesus, Kevin doesn't even look that much older! How much time has passed for all this to happen?!
(Cut to a shot of the first movie showing Kate and Peter on the plane)
NC (vo): What, was he flirting with the flight attendant when they forgot Kevin the first time?
