Audience Consensus

With a ridiculous story and an obnoxious main character who's harder to root for than the "villains," Home Sweet Home Alone is no fun for the whole family.

This was a dreadful piece of work, beginning with the storyline. Everything in this movie is lame, minus the VR headset used as a boobie trap. That was clever. As an enormous fan of the original Home Alone, this set the bar as low as could be for this franchise.

I created an account just to stick up for this movie! This is a great family movie for the Holidays. Everyone seems to be complaining that it's not as good as the original. Nothing is going to be as good as the original! However, this is a nice new take on the original that's funny and great for a family during Christmas time. People complain that Hollywood doesn't take any chances or have new ideas anymore. Than Hollywood makes a movie like this and people complain. 🤦🏼‍♂️

This really shouldn't be hard: find a cute kid (and they have, in the form of Jojo Rabbit's Archie Yates), and then string together a few comically implausible ways to injure another human being.

Rated: 1/5

Home Sweet Home Alone is a very odd duck -- a movie that basically replicates the three-decades-old "Home Alone" template, but in a way that feels slightly weird and ill-conceived.

Helen O'Hara

Empire Magazine

A defanged variation on the theme that doesn't commit hard enough to be silly fun, beyond a few chuckles.

Rated: 2/5

Its illogical plot comprised of three idiot protagonists, unfunny traps and jokes, and a recycled plot from the first Home Alone doesn't make it worthwhile...

It's shocking how badly this reboot misses the charm of Home Alone.
