18 Moments That Will Ruin Home Alone For You

4. The Politest Burglars Ever

Whilst the Wet Bandits may get taken to school by an 8-year-old kid, these schmucks are at least some of the politest criminals to ever appear on the big screen. Despite being embarrassed €“ some would even say tortured €“ by Kevin and his vast array of traps and tricks, Harry and Marv fail to muster a single curse word between them. In fact, the most offensive terms we get out of the mouths of these two burglars are jerk and creep. Oh, and lots and lots and lots of Joe Pesci€™s Harry seemingly doing his best Muttley impression. Maybe this point is a little harsh given how the film is a feel-good festive movie for all the family, but still, these career criminals couldn€™t have fared any worse if they€™d have dropped a few F-bombs or at least something more offensive than term not even used by someone in kindergarten.
