Just to clarify, that most definitely is sarcasm. While Kevin acts like a complete d*ck at the start of the film, thats quickly followed by some seriously poor parenting skills. I know that theyve got their holiday on their minds, but Kate and Peter McAllister really miss a few tricks here. Having ordered a plain cheese pizza, poor Kevin finds out that Buzz has eaten (in a matter of seconds somehow) that purely to spite him. Of course, Buzz isnt all bad for he offers to puke up said pizza for Kevin. Err, yeah, thanks but no thanks on that one. Then theres the knowing smile of Fuller that confirms to Kevin that, yes, if he has to share a bed with this kid then hes going to wake up in a wet patch. When Buzz pushes Kevin once too often, the young tyke strikes back and is then just completely disowned by the family. None of his parents listen to him about Buzz having eaten his pizza, his Uncle Frank berates him and calls him a little jerk, one of the other kids calls him a disease, and everybody else gives Kev the cold shoulder as hes banished to the third floor. And this is all before Kevin then gets left on his own for a week! But in fairness, he did get to pull the old "Goodnight, Kevin" comeback to his mum's orders of "Say goodnight, Kevin". It's completely out of order on Kevin, its flat-out shocking parenting, and for those of you who have seen that recent 5-minute short looking at a troubled now-adult Kevin, youll understand a little as to why hes so messed up.
