Maman, j'ai raté l'avion! (ça recommence)

When the original Home Alone came out, it was criticized for being distastefully violent and overly cynical. How quaint. Home Sweet Home Alone is an aggressively brash and largely unfunny (despite the fantastic adult cast) onslaught of loud, terrible decisions. Not least of which is the insanely stupid choice to make the villains far-and-away the most sympathetic characters in the whole movie while making the kid as disdainful and static as possible. The Buzz cameo is kinda great, though.

The original Home Alone from 1990 and Home Alone 2 from 1992 are perfectly fine and entertaining films, they also have clever traps and likable or relatable characters.

But Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, and Home Alone 5: The Hoiday Heist was just too much for the series. All they did was have different actors and bad acting with the traps not making sense.

So now we have the 6th movie in the Home Alone series called Home Sweet Home Alone (Home Alone 6), and I thought it was...

I thought this movie wasn't that good, which is weird when it has good actors and at least it has some good scenes but that was overthrown by bad moments.

The movie is mostly focused on the couple that is trying to steal back a valuable heirloom thinking the main kid stole it from them, but the more you focus on them the more you feel bad for them because of the problems in their life.

The main kid who is home alone and setting up the traps in the house is played by a good actor, but they make the kid really unlikable when he is hurting the couple with the traps even though they aren't that bad.

The traps are creative and interesting, but when the couple are being hurt and effected by them you just feel bad for them and it makes it hard to watch seeing them in pain.

They made the robbers played by good actors seem like the good guys and the main kid as the bad guy, I don't understand why they did that.

Other than there being some references to the original I didn't really find it funny or that much entertaining. Just watch the first 2 Home Alone movies, they are worth watching.

The rating on here is only low because people love the original Home Alone, so they will just review bomb it. That being said, this wasn't a good film.

It had a straight to dvd quality about it apart from the cast. It just felt cheep. Even though I'm sure it wasn't.

The story for me was also a mess. It doesn't give you a clear hero and villain which can be good but I don't know if that was the writer's intention. It's just like muddy. The main kid is an absolute brat. I would have left him home alone. And the "Villains" are decent people.

The type of story telling that I hate the most is "whoops! It was all a big misunderstanding" because when it's over you feel like you just wasted your time. If people had made "human" decisions to begin with the film wouldn't have had to happen so it seems like it was all for nothing. It's like full of air. Which it's a kids movie so I can't complain too much.

The ending is really sickly sweet which isn't my thing. I know that makes me sound harsh but I just don't love it when an ending is too saccharine. And like I said, the ending feels like you wasted an hour and a half because the issue could have been resolved in like 10 minutes.

The acting is fine and there was thought put into the script. I could feel Mikey Day in the script, if that's a good thing I don't know. But I could definitely hear him in it.

It's probably fine for kids, they might laugh when people fart in it? But no you can skip it.

I wanted to watch this just to see if it is has bad as critics say, turns out they where right. I liked Home Alone(1990) and Home Alone 2(1992) and Home Alone 3 was okay, but haven't seen the last two.

There are references to the first home alone, there put in there to say this is not a reboot, but the same universe. Now I gave the story credit for trying to be different, and not be a carbon copy of the first film, and. Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney play a good comedic team pretty well, has a couple trying to save there family home. But the kid Max played by Archie Yates, is just unbearable and unlike Kevin, no ways wants to root for him. But not Yates fault, just how he was written. Aisling Bea doesn't really give off much has Max's mother unlike Catherine O' Hara, seems like she is sleepwalking through this.

Jokes don't really hit, trap gags just become reminders that you've watch them in better movies, and Max's family are just there no other reason, unlike the first two. And it is not easy to capture the magic that was the first Home Alone(1990).

This movie has no heart like the first ones... You get no love for the kid and you dont get much joy when the unlucky couple gets punished. Production quality is high though.... Its just a movie that will be forgotten.
