Nobody's Home.

Audience Says

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.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

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.

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

Despite some nudge-nudge-wink-wink nods to the original, the sixth movie in the franchise, directed by Dan Mazer, is also the worst.

Rated: 1/5

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.

Honestly this is not near as bad as everyone says honestly yad the cast a differ lead role itd actually be pretty good. Besides the pead role of the kid I think it was cast real well. Sure it's no comparison to the first 2 but it still worth a watch for the kiddos or the fam. I live that big brother Buzz had a a cameo as a police officer it was great to see thar ol trout sniffer.

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe how bad this is. Completely unimaginative plot, boring characters, seems to just be a quick Christmas money grab on Disney's end

An unnecessary reboot of an already fatigued franchise. This kid is a little brat and unlike Macaulay Culkin's Kevin there's nothing redeemable about him. The traps are incredibly too cartoon and the married couple who are just trying to get an object come off as pathetic and have no chemistry. Leave it to trout sniffers to try and revive a franchise they killed a long time ago.

If you were to say: "Hey! I feel like watching a 2020s Disney+ Home Alone remake." and watched this, you'd be pleased. However, no one says that to themselves, sooo...
