That was an excellent one.

Powerful

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I think five is a good number to round it off. I liked all of them to be honest, but the latter three were the worst of the bunch. The first two were great!! The first few Home Alone movies is something you would see again and again especially during the christmas period, but the same cannot be said with the final three. I really hope though that another movie never happens again, as it will just destroy the franchise. I think Home Alone legacy is up! Home Alone: The Holiday Heist is worth watching at least once especially during the christmas period. It's actually okay.

I bought this as a 5 pack of the films and i have to say, i was quite impressed. I bought 4 when it came out and it was a cut down version of the family from the first two and lacked a bit so, with number 5, i didn't have high expectations. I've watched it today and i am impressed. New story, new family and not even in Chicago. Im not going to give away the plot but it was very good only a bit short as the running time was 84 minutes.A good Christmas Film to add to the list.

This movie is totally not worth watching. Almost same story, same expressions, same duo/trio villain ,worthless composition and dumb presentation. The dumb villains don't even evoke laughter. Even the traps are same as the last movies. They were triggered a bit differently, but definitely not in favor of making it better. I was a home alone fan. I tried to watch it completely unbiased. SO I did not read any review or checked the rating. It seems, had I checked the rating and refrain from watching it, it would have saved me from wasting my time.I am so disappointed that I had to write this review to warn other fans. Try not to watch it. It will just break the spell altogether.

This film copped a bad wrap when it was announced due to Home Alone 4 ("Home Alone: Taking Back The House"). That film may be the worst film ever made. This is actually quite good. It's at least as good as, if not better than, Home Alone 3. It doesn't come close to capturing the first two Home Alone movies, but for what it is, it's actually worth watching.A lot of people ask "Why was this made?". It was made, like all movies, to be entertainment. It does its job there. In addition to main "kid" (Christian Martyn) of the film, there is Finn's younger neighbour (Peter DaCunha)and his older sister (Jodelle Ferland). All of them are well cast and avoid the "annoying kid syndrome" that plagues so many movies. The parents. DaCunha is particular good and had me laughing every time he was on screen.This time there are three thieves (Malcom McDowell, Debi Mazar and Eddie Steeples). All three are good. They don't make the impact of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern by any means, but compared to the unmemorable thieves in Home Alone 3 and the god-awful French Stewart in Home Alone 4 (to be fair Missi Pyle was the ONLY good thing about that movie), the three do really well.The parents (Ellie Harvey and Doug Murray) are a bit annoying but have their funny moments, the mum in particular. The movie is surprisingly well-directed and avoids many TV movie pitfalls. Only a few times did it feel "cheap", which is quite an achievement for a TV movie and one of the biggest faults of the fourth movie. The story isn't bad for one of these films and manages to capture the basic structure of a Home Alone film without copying it.It's not the most brilliant film you've ever watched, but no one expects it to be. For me, it was a surprise how good this was. It made me nostalgic, having grown up with the originals, and I think kids would really dig it.It does what it sets out to do quite well and manages to be entertaining. Definitely worth a look.
