Whenever Home Alone is discussed it is often brought up how financially well-off Kevin's parents are since they are “taking the whole family to Paris for Christmas." While they definitely appear to be upper-class, they are NOT the ones gifting a Paris trip for the entire McCallister family.It is Peter's brother, who is living in Paris, that is paying for the McCalilister family to fly out there.Kevin's Mom explains it to Harry (dressed as a cop), in the opening scene.My husband's brother transferred to Paris last summer and both of his kids are still going to school here, and I guess he missed the whole family. He's giving us all this trip to Paris for the holidays, so we can be together.Now, in Home Alone 2, it does appear that Kevin's parents are the ones who pay for the family to fly down to Florida. Uncle Frank mentions it when scolding Kevin:"Don't wreck my trip. Your dad's paying good money for it."So, just wanted to clarify things because most people often incorrectly assume Kevin's dad is the one paying for everyone in the first movie.EDIT: A lot of people either didn’t read the post or missed the point completely. I’m not saving the McCallisters aren’t wealthy, they obviously are. I’m saying they are not the ones who paid for the Paris trip, which many people just assume they did.Yeah this fact has nothing to do with the story, it’s just an observation of mine and a movie-detail mistake I often see people making. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/vtaJIZS
