Duo (married couple rather than serial criminals) attempt to break-in to the house (to find something they think Max took rather than just robbing the family clean). Sure, it's fun for a little bit, but then he starts missing his family. He's sleeping (in a car rather than in an attic) and family forgets him. Max is 10 years old and his family travels out of the country for the holidays (Tokyo rather than Paris). I thought the storyline was a little more convoluted than the original - while still feeling eerily familiar. Home Sweet Home Alone was popular with my kids likely for the same reasons that the original worked - slapstick, physical humor delivered well, if even predictably, by the cast. I won't spoil those for you, however, there are a few Easter Eggs that are fun for audiences to note. But, this film does hold up well on it's own - maybe because there are some nods to the McAllister family themselves throughout. There's just something about the McAllister family that makes the Home Alone movies special. Home Sweet Home Alone is no original in my eyes. Rather watch our review than read it? Check out what Caleb and I thought right after watching the movie over on YouTube. Admittedly, I did not enjoy Home Alone 3 and never watched 4 or 5, but my boys love the original 2 like me and I thought this one was worth a shot. 2021 brings the latest (Home Alone 6 is anyone is counting) with the release of Home Sweet Home Alone on Disney+. Kevin McAllister and the Wet Bandits had some crazy times together in the 90s and over the years, Fox has tried to keep the franchise fresh with new installments of the film. I still remember being a kid watching the Home Alone movies, dreaming of having a Talk Boy of my own and getting Lost in New York. Home Sweet Home Alone - Image from Disney+
