I mean the Grinch literally stole Christmas but Uncle Frank called Kevin a little jerk when he was being a little jerk, but sure.

It's commendable to a certain level, but the second movie has so many moments where it's clear that Kevin is a sociopath who rather not do the right thing, it just makes the movie much less endearing. I find it funny that the entire unlikeable family is rewarded at the end of the second movie with a room full of presents, while the homeless bird lady is left alone by herself in the park...on Christmas.

Well it was a secret back door sequel to Scarface hence all the snow…could’ve ended up an entirely different movie if they’d have sent the right henchmen…

I wouldn't say biggest Christmas heel, but Frank is definitely a freaking jerk.
And I had an Uncle Frank too, but mine was actually nice

Yeah, they explicitly make it clear they intend to murder him in the second movie, they do have it coming. Like even with the photographs, they weren't really that much more wanted as fugitives, probably, than they already would have been for breaking out of lockup. They could have just blown him off and escaped. They escalated it by following him to the apartment.

The conciege from Home Alone 2 was a bigger heel. He went into a guests room without permission and confronted a child who stole a credit card just to make himself feel good about being right instead of calling the police first.
Franks a dick and a cheapskate but the conciege was on a different level.

Santa from Rudolph pretty much badmouthed Rudolph shortly after he was born, so I second this. Santa in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is an f’n asshole. * He talks shit about Rudolph’s nose after he’s born; it then causes his father to resent his “deformity.” * He acknowledges Rudolph’s skills during the reindeer games but talks shit again when the fake nose falls off, calling it a shame. Rudolph is banned from the reindeer games and ostracized, leading to him running away. * He completely buries his elves when they sing a song especially for him; he just gets up and walks out without so much as a thank you. * He doesn’t lift a damn finger for any of the inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys until the very end of the movie and only due to Rudolph’s insistence. * He never apologizes to Rudolph for his crappy treatment of him; he only allows him to pull his sleigh because it’s beneficial for him. Forget Uncle Frank. Santa is the biggest heel of Christmas.

And Santa is going to feel even more foolish when he eventually learns that Rudolph's deformity is a horcrux of the goddess of winter and is the only thing keeping a psychotic snow wizard from murdering him and his family and friends.

Cousin Mel poisoned Grandma's homemade fruitcakes, which caused her get run over by a reindeer in the first place. She found and hid the note Santa left, explaining the situation, causing the family to believe Grandma was dead. She then tried to convince a grieving Grandpa to sell the store, then when Grandma turned up alive, she and her lawyer kidnapped her and hid her way, then convinced Grandpa to sue Santa for her disappearance. I think Uncle Frank has some competition.

He went into a guests room without permission and confronted a child who stole a credit card just to make himself feel good about being right instead of calling the police first. Franks a dick and a cheapskate but the conciege was on a different level. Nah, I mostly side with the concierge. He obviously overstepped his authority by sneaking into a room but he technically was within his limits to do so if he suspected something was amiss. The fact that Kevin concocted a scheme to scare him when Kevin could have easily called him out on sneaking into other people's rooms. If anything, the concierge was dumb in not waiting until Kevin was on his little limo cruise to inspect his room and notice a lack of adult luggage. And eventually the concierge was proven right. Once he confronted Kevin on the stolen credit card, Kevin could have easily just stayed there and explained the situation, AND potentially nabbed the Sticky Bandits with the help of the police. Instead, Kevin stages a terror threat at the hotel and immediately lands in the hands of the Sticky Bandits. Heck, Kevin could have again caught the Sticky Bandits in the act of robbing the toy store with the help of the police if he decided to, but he felt the need to physically punish them, some acts that would otherwise kill a normal person. In both situations, Kevin almost got murdered by trying to go at it alone, only to bailed out by a stranger. No sympathy.
