comment |
Home Alone: The Holiday Heist is a 2012 American Christmas family comedy made-for-television film. It's the fifth film in the Home Alone series. It was released during ABC Family's Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas in November 2012. Much like Home Alone 3, it focuses on a completely different family, but sticks to the standard formula. |

Poor Communication Kills: When Simon starts to realise Finn and Alexis may be in actual danger from the burglars, he tries to contact their parents, only to explain himself so badly that he comes off as a kidnapper (or worse). |

Too Many Halves: When Sinclair's accomplices believe the house they're breaking in is haunted, they demand a bigger share than the initially agreed 25% for each of them. Hughes suggests 50% for him, 50% for Jessica, and 25% for Sinclair. They eventually settle for one third each. |
