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.
