Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)

So there's a new Home Alone movie out! 31 years after the original, or just ten after the fifth one of those, of which the last weren't all that great, and left you feeling like they might've milked out most of the franchise already.

This time? Still not that great.

Still feels like they've milked the most of this franchise already.

The main character doesn't look as sympathetic as the earlier ones either, the villains aren't really as villainous, and the premise is basically the same thing with a twist. But not as good.

The soda shooting scene might've been cool, seeing a character from the classics play a cameo was cool, Kenan's always cool, the final doll scene really was good, and the snowy landscapes were beautiful, but for the most part I just feel sorry for the main couple, am unimpressed with most stunts and really... don't feel like this contributes anything on any level compared to the old ones...

Even the credits roll against a bleak concrete gray, and seem to signal that this just was not a quality production.

I don't know y'all.

I wasn't expecting much but was still hoping for more somehow. Feels like those who made this movie might've known that when they started, and delivered just what we expected this might be.

A cliché take on an old classic.
