That is until Jeff realizes one of his grandmother’s old dolls is worth $200k and he comes to believe that weird little smartass he just met, Max, took it. These other young parents are reluctant about selling their home after the holidays, but due to tight finances they’re looking for an offer. It’s thus a wonder that mother Carol (Aisling Bea) decided to take Max with her to an open house held by the film’s true stars, Pam (Ellie Kemper) and Jeff (Rob Delaney). He’s simply the sardonic child archetype with little character beyond his quips at his mom’s expense. This is the same kid whose precocious deadpan stole entire scenes in Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, although it’s of little use in a role as basic as Max. Incidentally, the kid in question is named Max, and he’s played by the young and previously charming Archie Yates. Perhaps intended for some of the same audience, this might explain the choice to make Home Sweet Home Alone as much about the bumbling burglars of the piece as the child who’s been left behind. It happily goes through the motions of its thankless assignment with all the cheerfulness of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Not that this Disney+ product is looking for much aid. No, that bit of exploitation comes later. But Home Sweet Home Alone plays like an afterthought that was penciled onto a spreadsheet somewhere-a project which will begin with the Fox fanfare like it’s the grave robber who chuckles about the tomb he’s raiding, but then has the pure ineptitude or quiet embarrassment to not also shoehorn in John Williams’ majestic Home Alone score at the top of the movie. Disney rolls out the red carpet when they’re mining their own vaults for animated classics to remake, or when capitalizing on a $4 billion investment in Lucasfilm. The unique bit of ugliness about Home Sweet Home Alone’s cynicism, however, is that it’s not even nostalgia done particularly well. But Home Sweet Home Alone? The belated and opportunistic “legacy sequel” which attempts to manipulate your childhood nostalgia into crass dollar signs? That’s a modern Disney maneuver through and through. They even made that horrible Home Alone 3 back in ’97 you forgot existed.

That fallen movie studio was of course no collection of saints when it came to milking popular IPs. Wet Bandits Resurface (Daniel Stern Clip)Īudio provided by CalanRobinson (voiceover) and Day Pheonix (voice actress) courtesy of Fiverr.It seems particularly cruel that the first thing we see in Home Sweet Home Alone is the 20th Century Fox fanfare-and yes, it is still the Fox fanfare when the floodlights come on and the brass section plays, no matter the text on the screen. I hope you guys enjoy it.įootage used in this trailer came from the following sources This video was one of the most difficult I've created. There's not much flow, but I tried my best. I finally got around to completing it this month, and the end result is a little. Due to the lack of footage I found it very difficult to generate a storyline and the trailer sat unfinished for the last two years. Both Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci have appeared in very few acting roles over the last 5 years. I originally started this two years ago but never finished it due to a lack of useable footage. These vidoes are transformative in nature and covered under Fair Use.Ī little background about this video. They're not trying to "fool" you, they're creative pieces that transform existing footage into something new. These types of videos are often misunderstood. It's a fan trailer (or a concept trailer). The Wet Bandits (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) are back, and this time they're going to settle the score. Join Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), Buzz (Devin Ratray) and Fuller (Kieran Culkin) as they return home for one big family reunion. This holiday season, the McCallister's are back! But Christmas can be a little sensitive for this family.
