Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012)

my problem with this film is that the bad guys were not bad people. He was a treasure hunter at best and cared for nothing but a painting. and the other two were dumb, but nice the entire movie,

even in the car scene, "sit down and put on your seat belt"

The reason the first 3 were so great is because we rooted for the kid to win, he is the underdog against dirty, ruthless criminals. Not the case for this movie. I found myself feeling bad for the criminals being attacked, and the attack were so so, i understand there budget isn't there but with todays technology. you can do better Hollywood! everything was so much more well done and real looking in the originals.

I saw the hidden meaning, that kids are isolated with video games/cell phones and should get back to real life, but every-time i watched the kid.. His character to very bratty, cocky and not charming.

Im sure kids will love it, not a bad movie, just lacked and didn't feel "real life" enough.

2.5/5
