Archie looks like Jonathan Lipnicki and Norman Chaney went through the telepods in The Fly.

The entire cast give a kid’s TV show or sketch-show performance not at all believable, and over-the-top, and the main issue as I’ve already said, is that Archie Yates’ Max Mercer is no Kevin McCallister. In addition to Kemper and Delaney, all the nobodies from SNL (Pete Holmes, Mikey Day, and Chris Parnell) are in this film, and like that one-time classic TV show they’re now effing-up this classic movie. Bad or good, Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney are no Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.

The only update here is the “baddies” being jobless and having money problems but sympathy doesn’t create antagonists that warrant the infliction of injuries, in fact this sanitising does a disservice to the dynamic and mood of the whole movie.

I know John wrote the 3 rd movie but this is closer to the 4 th and 5 th, especially with the central premise of retrieving a collectable doll which is closer to Home Alone 5‘s thieves taking a painting from an unoccupied property than the original Wet Bandits’ dastardly plan. And that’s the main issue: the writing is nowhere near the level of the original and writers Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell are no replacements for Hughes. Shite like a smart speaker and a VR Headset are plot-points, and “the cloud”, “streaming”, and “lit” are uttered multiple times, but back in 1990, John Hughes never mentioned “Super VHS”, “floppy discs”, and “rad” and that’s why his version is timeless. Speaking of old, this is one of those “I’m not out-of-touch, look at all the ‘modern’ things I’ve mentioned” scripts.

On paper, everything that made the first movie special is present a kid “home alone” with burglars trying to break into his house, plus the importance of family, especially during Christmas, but this time around it doesn’t feel like the writer’s opinions but rather a tick-box exercise in copying an old screenplay. Lines such as “Have you guys given up yet, or are you thirsty for more?” and “I’m gonna give you to the count of ten to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister ” make an appearance which all add to the failed pastiche aesthetic. Scenes such as getting a large family into two vehicles ready for the airport, our protagonist over-eating junk food and watching TV after his parents have disappeared, and planning his home-defence blueprint are less of a nod to the original and more of a banging of one’s head against a brick wall.
Like many sequels, it’s essentially an inferior version of the first film. And I thought Home Alone 4 ‘s Mike Weinberg was irritating to look at.Įverything about this remake is bad, if not horrendous.
Yates comes across, not as a cute kid, but an out-of-work accountant who’s been shrunk or a miniature civil servant who exposes himself to clients. Home Sweet Home Alone ‘s Archie Yates, fresh from overrated Jojo Rabbit, is neither. Linz was no replacement for Culkin, in fact the difference was obvious, like Shirley Temple being replaced by a sack of rubble. Whilst on this topic, a child actor either has to have talent (Haley Joel Osment) or be endearing (Macaulay Culkin). At the heart of the 6 th Home Alone movie, we have a trio of mediocre actors Aisling Bea, a dull comedian and actor, Rob Delaney, a really dull comedian and a really dull actor, and Archie Yates, a dull actor who may grow up to become a dull comedian.
Now we have a reboot-slash-sequel titled “Home Sweet Home Alone”, a by-the-numbers recreation of the original film made with absolutely no flair or talent (or money by the looks of things). Hughes then penned the awful follow-up Home Alone 3 but it’s clear that once star Macaulay Culkin left, the franchise went from bad to worse, with both Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House and Home Alone: The Holiday Heist being utterly atrocious. John Hughes’ original Home Alone is an undisputed holiday classic and Hughes’ sequel Home Alone 2: Lost In New York is watchable but unneeded (although it’s always great to see Tim Curry on screen).
