Home Sweet Home Alone

It's actually fine. Not amazing, but not terrible either. People are just crapping on it because it's the done thing

Home Alone 6

I was really skeptical going in, especially seeing the other comments here. However, I thought it was pretty good. Not amazing, not terrible. Definitely rewatchable, unlike 4 and 5, especially 5. _shudders_

The main character was smart, funny, and really had that intelligence to make great traps. The comedy beats were on point, and I found myself laughing quite a bit. The overexaggeration of the slang and lingo from the parents was a bit over the top.

This film respected the originals quite more than 4 or 5; that's absolutely certain. The formula was there and the kid was actually home alone. There were lots of references to the other films, especially 1 and 2. The soundtrack was a bit of a mix of some of the original music, and that felt nostalgic.

The negative parts of this film are relatively minor. While the situation which caused Max to become home alone played great homage to the first Home Alone movie, it did feel a bit artificial. When Pam and Jeff were intruding, it felt a bit poorly executed initially, but they stepped it up once they got inside.

The movie had a great ending [spoiler]with the families getting together and becoming friends.[/spoiler] The kids acting was very good too. If you've slogged through 4 and 5, and are feeling skeptical about this one, do give it a try. It's way better. I would say it's on par with Home Alone 3.

Actually much better than I expected it to be. Didn’t have the charm as the original Home Alone, but still enjoyable!

Cute holiday film with lots of familiar faces and some laughs. It's home alone, it's not gonna be high brow. Does what it says on the tin.
Poor Aisling Bea really fought with that English accent though. They should have let her keep the natural Irish we all know and love.

This movie isn’t even that bad fr, people expect remakes to be the same as the original when they know it’s not going to be. It was cute and some parts were funny

I agreed with Kevin in the original two. Buzz was a jerk and should have been punished too in both movies. This kid Max (Archie Yates) is an unlikable jerk though despite a talented kid wasted as him.
This time, the robbers are more likable from the start. Max’s mom also agrees with her son when he says a stranger looks like Frankenstein’s monster, right to his face. So yeah she is a jerk too.
In this film the crooks are a married couple losing their house. They think Max stole a doll from them at their open house that is worth money. They just want it back. It’s hard to take his part and want to see him hurt these people.
The Buzz cameo is sort of nice though despite him being my least favorite character in the original 2 movies.
This is the worst and laziest excuse for a movie ever from Disney +. The movie tries to tack on some charm when it is way too late. It also tries to make the kid likable when it is too late.

It’s not that bad! Sure, it doesn’t hold a candle to the Culkin classics, but its not the turkey some are making it out to be.

For better or worse, the movie is exactly what you think it is. They essentially re-made Home Alone but from the perspective of the robbers. Sure, they change around some of the details but it really is the same movie. For whatever reason the robbery scene really bugged me more than it did in the original. Don't get me wrong - it was absurd in the original.... it just felt so hokey in this movie. My kids loved it and I didn't want to put a gun to my head as I was watching it so I can't complain. If you're looking to see a classic Christmas movie re-done with a better result I recommend 8 Bit Christmas.

Home Sweet Home Alone is the sixth film in the disgraced Home Alone franchise. If the cover isn't enough to tell you not to watch this movie, than this review is. Because let's face it - you predicted this.

There is nothing sweet about Home Sweet Home Alone. It is a dreary, ugly, criminally unfunny trudge through a tired, worn out franchise, having long lost the charm and heart that made the original film so special. Gone is the adorable Macaulay Culkin and the wholesome beauty of the original. Gone also is the creativity and imagination of the original traps. What we have instead is a pair of poor parents trying to reclaim a doll that is rightfully theirs from an insufferably spoiled brat on Christmas Eve in order to save their house from being sold before the New Year. That's right - the kid is the villain in this situation. And boy, is he hateable.

The key element that is missing from this film is a heart. Whereas the original had an underlying message about valuing your family despite their flaws and extending love towards them while you still have them around, this new film completely and utterly lacks any of those sentiments, instead replacing it with a borderline cruel sense of "humor." The term humor feels almost inappropriate, however, as this movie is one of the most joyless productions I have ever laid eyes on.

Ultimately, there are two funny jokes during this dumpster fire of a film - a running gag involving the burglars having too many cartons of milk in their fridge, and a moment of self awareness from the burglar's obnoxious (cousin?) who loudly declares that Hollywood needs to stop remaking the old classics.

I, for one, agree.

And yet, it's not unbearably bad, nor is it good. Instead, it exists as a hollow cash grab written by people without a single funny bone in their entire body. Forced, ugly, and frustratingly mediocre, this is a Christmas film you should probably skip. Just go watch something like "Frozen" or "Noelle," or even better - just watch the original.

Really not that great. This wasn’t needed.
