Now obviously this should only get them to the gate at which point they should once again check to see if they have all their children before flying to Paris.

They barely made it to O'Hare for the flight and are seen running down the jetway. No one noticed even then.

Sort of.

But plenty of others of us put in work though, so it’s worth the read.

I remember spending way too much time at work measuring steps in my office building for my post about the house in HA2.

I watched HA2 last night. I realize it's a movie, and they have to set up Kevin's conflict with his family, but the way they did it with the recital was terrible. First, Buzz didn't do anything that funny. To have the entire audience of adults falling all over themselves while a high school kid embarrasses an elementary student is ridiculous. Second, the direction they took Uncle Frank in the movie seemed very off as well. The singing in the shower seems like something he would never do, and him falling all over himself over Buzz's antics felt off as well. Not only should Kevin be applauded for pushing Buzz, but I wouldn't have blamed him for setting the entire auditorium on fire.

Hard to set up them traps from a prison lol

The one thing that continually bothers me about HA2 is how suspicious Tim Curry’s character is. I get that story line had to unfold but I feel like they should have made him have his doubts for a different reason. Not just because there’s a kid in your lobby.

Also, was it that easy to book a hotel in those days?
“Hi, my name is Peter McCallister, I’d like a room please”
“Ok you’re all set. Have a nice day!”

In his mind, seeing a kid pay for a hotel room without an adult was the cause for suspicion, which is understandable. However, he went over-the-top to "get" him, when a simple conversation with Kevin (hey what's going on?) could've smoothed things over until his parents arrived.

But then we wouldn't get prime Tim Curry.

hahaha this is so true watching now. as a kid, it just made sense bc why WOULDNT an adult be super concerned with the events in a kid's life?

it's like Karate Kid 3 where you have two grown arse men plotting to destroy the life of a fifteen year old. it made sense watching as a kid. now it's like, jeez guys...maybe just move on.
