12? McCallisters - ignoring Harry

Kevin not being aware of certificates between PG and R (fact check this for 1989)

No one picked up voltage adapter (check difference between US and French plugs)

Pete doesn't know how to shave with a manual razor

No one picked up the micro machines and Aunt Leslie stepped on one

8 year old somehow has access to a glue gun

Kevin has to pack his own suitcase (is this normal for an 8 year old?)/why is he discovering this the day before leaving?

Six more kids unhelpful to Harry - say their parents are home but not there - who are their parents?

Les incompetents (check literal translation)

Kevin plans to grow up, get married, then live alone

How long can spiders survive without eating? (Buzz says a couple of weeks - fact check)

This is the first time Buzz has brought up Old Man Marley

Pizza delivery guy can't drive; crashes straight into a statue

Pizza in 20 minutes (is this plausible - pizza would be at best cold)

Two more kids just staring at Harry while he questions them

10 pizzas - note in case it comes up again

$122.50 - he asks Harry for money

Frank picks up the pizzas before paying

Peter (father - I had to look up his name) just accepts that Harry is police without asking for ID and tells him about the security system

There are automatic timers on the lights and locks on the doors but no proper house alarm system, even though they can obviously afford one

No one pays for the pizza

Leaving the house at 8am - what time is the flight?

The money is for 10 x $12 - what is the extra 50¢ for?

All Frank's money is in Travellers checks

Kevin assumes that in a house with 15 people, one of the ten pizzas would be just for him

Fuller drinks too much

Why are the plane tickets just left out on the table with liquids next to them?

Frank crushes Fuller

Peter throws away Kevin's plane ticket

Now what's for dinner - most of the pizza is unaffected, so... Pizza?

Frank drove from Ohio (how far is this?)

Harry shows his easily identifiable gold tooth to Kevin

Kate (mother - also had to look up) just tells Harry that they're going away without asking for ID

Kevin is mean about not wanting a family and Kate just encourages it

Kevin wears shoes in bed

The entire family relies on a single mains powered alarm to wake them

The airport shuttles were supposed to arrive at 8, but only knock the door at 12

Not shown, but Airport driver is shown picking up the statue again so he knocked it down as well

AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT EVEN FIFTEEN MINUTES IN AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR OVER AN HOUR

 Thanks, everyone, for signing up for the quiz! This year we have more teams than ever before, so competition will be fierce! To remind you all, the theme is Posters, meaning that I will give a brief description of a Christmas Movie poster and you have to guess which movie the poster refers to. In your signup automated reply, you should have received the following clue, worth 50 points: A man in a red cardigan looks at the camera in distress. He is surrounded by children dressed as biblical characters. Most people correctly guessed that this was 2009’s Nativity : This is the only occasion the actual poster will be included; if you want to check the accuracy of my descriptions for later entries, you will have to Google them yourselves. I will now reiterate the rules:   At 11:00 GMT every weekday AND Saturday (sorry; I forgot that I also created clues for Saturdays – blame me for writing the quiz in April) until 25 December, the clue will be emailed to you. You then have
