Aside from that though this a very dull movie that features boring characters, and weird pacing. This movie steals many things from the original, but never does anything with them. Also the kid in the movie while not badly portrayed is very unlikable. He isn't given enough character to make him interesting, and he's kinda the villain of the movie. Everything here feels like a carbon copy of the original. Also the trap sequence is very unsatisfying. They feel mean considering that we kinda sympathize with these people. Besides the trap sequence is like 15 minutes. That's it. It takes an hour for the movie to finally start, but then we get kinda boring traps. And finally this movie basically isn't even a sequel. The only reason is cause Buzz from the original makes one cameo, but honestly he doesn't even need to be there. He's in the move for like 3 minutes. Graham, Adam (November 11, 2021).

But if that's your plan for Home Sweet Home Alone... well, there's good news and bad news. Home Alone 4: This movie, a reboot of the franchise, aired on ABC instead of heading to theaters. It features re-cast versions of many of the characters from the first Home Alone.
