And after Kate and Peter tell in front of her about their happy mariage isnt making anything good. Peter is an asshole at the end of the movie and the whole Maccallisters too.

I believe they may have also asked Joe Pesci (I remember a while back reading that they also asked him) to reprise his role and he refused. Joe Pesci already retired from acting three years prior to this film's debut, but I'm sure Joe thought the same as Daniel if he was offered to reprise Harry.

    Home Alone: Classic
    Home Alone 2: Total classic
    Home Alone 3: Meh
    Home Alone 4: 😕
    Home Alone 5: God, Nnooooooo!!!😡
    That's my total take on the Home Alone Trilogy. Imo.
