I mean, there's a Home Alone reboot coming out... What's the point? The movie exists, let's just live with the movie that existed. There's no point in any of us remaking The Wizard of Oz, there's no point in any of us remaking the classic films. Make something original, because we need more original material."

And it always helps if all the movies are available in one place. But if that's your plan for Home Sweet Home Alone... well, there's good news and bad news.Let me start off with the good. There is some decent comedy sprinkled here and there. Archie Yates give's a good enough performance, but doesn't come close to being as good as Macaulay Culkin.

Aside from that though this a very dull movie that features boring characters, and weird pacing. This movie steals many things from the original, but never does anything with them. Also the kid in the movie while not badly portrayed is very unlikable. He isn't given enough character to make him interesting, and he's kinda the villain of the movie. Everything here feels like a carbon copy of the original. Also the trap sequence is very unsatisfying. They feel mean considering that we kinda sympathize with these people. Besides the trap sequence is like 15 minutes. That's it. It takes an hour for the movie to finally start, but then we get kinda boring traps. And finally this movie basically isn't even a sequel. The only reason is cause Buzz from the original makes one cameo, but honestly he doesn't even need to be there. He's in the move for like 3 minutes. Principal photography began in February 2020, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [13] In March, filming was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and industry restrictions worldwide.
