Movie Review: Home Alone, Holiday Heist

I felt very seen as the main character is obsessed with video games.  Not a typical part of movies.     

As is typical of the Home Alone sequels, the writers decided to not mess with perfection.  The main character's fear of people isn't exactly first-movie-Kevin's helplessness, but the two character traits serve the same purpose in the plot, to give our boy something to grow out of through the dispute with the burglars

Strengths: funny, entertaining, especially his sister and online gaming friend

Areas to improve: some more originality, please.  Some of the Home Alones clearly add artistically to the franchise, increase character depth, lore, leave us with a fresh moral, etc.

The original was better, but not by too much

4.25 / 6.0 Stars
