Why no Jeff and linine

I wonder why Kevin other brother and sister were not mentioned at all in this film.

Maybe they went to college? I mean, if Kevin can still be 9 years old after 3 Christmases, his other siblings can age more rapidly and move on with their lives. lol

Probably because the actors playing them moved on with their lives.

It's a reboot, so they don't exist in this universe.

You can't call it a reboot because they brought back the older characters when the new designs look nothing like the originals.

Because the dumb-asses who wrote this FORGOT about them. They probably thought Jeff and Linnie were Frank's kids. These are the same people who got Harry and Marv mixed up.

The 2002 Marv looked more like Harry and you can blame French Stewart for taking over Daniel Stern's role. At least his callback to the first two films was interesting...

Marv: Everybody get in the van!

You forgot Kevin's cousins, like Fuller. And Fuller was going to be the lead character in Home Alone 3, only for that to be thrown out because Kieran Culkin wouldn't have made a decent replacement.

Really? That’s interesting.

I can see why they didn’t go that route, but I still would have preferred that over what we got for HA3. I would rather it didn’t exist at all in that case.

I took that from IMDB, so props to them.
