Who is the mean uncle in Home Alone? All about Gerry Bamman
In Home Alone Uncle Frank is depicted as being frequently mean to Kevin and also frequently playing pranks on him. Uncle Frank only gets worse from here. When they leave in the morning he only cares about himself, and the fact that he may miss his flight to Paris. He is constantly fighting with his brother and is always pessimistic.
When they get on the plane, they make it on time by the way Frank doesn’t give his brother credit or thank the drivers of the vans, he is too excited to get his free champagne and take his seat in first class. He then goads his wife into taking the silverware from the plane.
He then makes the flight attendant fill his champagne glass to the top very rudely, and he doesn’t thank her either. When Kevin’s mom realizes that they left Kevin at home, Frank tries to make her feel better by saying he left his reading glasses in a hotel room or some shit.
He is comparing his glasses to her son. What a dick. When they get to France, and everyone has a job to try and track Kevin down, he is too busy raiding the refrigerator in the hotel and handing out snacks to everyone. I mean, he could give a shit about Kevin, or his kids or his brother and his wife, or anyone but himself.
