User Reviews

An OK sequel but no point of being made to be honest

Home alone:the holiday heist is a Christmas film that was released in 2012 like 22 years after the first film,the film I think is a straight to DVD film or a TV film. The film tells the story of Finn and his family who move to a new house but Finn thinks it's haunted by a ghost so he sets up a few booby traps for the ghost when suddenly three burglars break in and they stumble in to the traps. Home alone:the holiday heist had some things I liked somethings I didn't like,I liked that it was creepy in places when he went down to the basement and I loved I mean LOVE the robbers in this film there so good and funny and enjoyable like Harry and Marv and I even liked the kid in the film he was funny too but I think it had a bit too much effort in it that the director tried to hard to make it a home alone sequel that it didn't feel like a home alone movie and I think it's a bit too late now guys for a home alone movie I mean it was 1990 the first film came out like that's a long time ago. Home alone the holiday heist is an OK film that I kinda liked and kinda didn't like but it was a lot better than the dreadful piece of trash that came before it home alone 4. Well that's home alone for ya,it was a good franchise but it didn't turn out to be a great series after number 4. Home alone 6 probably won't happen but if it does its rumored to be about Harry and Marv who forgive Kevin and it's going to be a drama.
