into a new house which apparently has a stolen painting hidden inside it as always hijinks ensue the thieves get PROFANITY_TOKEN up and arrested even though like one of them said that he technically had a claim for this painting but i don't know the baxters get a bunch of money from the museum for finding this lost stolen painting and the power of christmas is restored also it is like the power of the internet that uh helps get the parents home to like help um so like yeah technophiles for life had some laughs definitely better than the fourth but not great or good by any metric again these ones just both channel that lifetime energy in the worst way which brings us to home sweet home alone which would really only be the title of a children's movie follow-up to home alone or a porn parody and unfortunately this is the one we got but i decided i'd watch this then rank the home alone movies like super exciting i'm sure that everyone's going to be very surprised by my choices now i always said the magic words just before this that make a bunch of people want to say yeah exactly it's a kids movie why are you criticizing it but consider this i don't care there are tons of good kids movies out there that are also fun for children to watch a lot of great kids movies came out this year this just wasn't one of them and they do a lot of things to make it seem like they really just did not care about what they were making they just wanted to create brain connections with fans of the original home alone by being lazy and the major way that they do this is by reusing the same music from the original in the same kind of key moments it says the music was done by john debney but so much of it just feels like a note for note recreation of what was already in home alone at every key emotional moment we truly live in a world where the movie about kids being trained to be future nazis has more wholesome energy and christmas vibes than the christmas movie i'm very happy with my video on jojo rabbids so if you haven't caught it i'd appreciate you checking it out so what's the story in this one so home sweet home alone is really switching it up this time it has a kid who gets left home alone when his entire family goes abroad for christmas and then people try to break into the house but in reality there is a switch up in this movie the intruders are actually good people just going through a very bad time but that in itself makes this kind of like a rough movie in other ways in terms of like pacing and time with characters but yeah it starts up with this couple having an open house because they can't afford to live there anymore after jeff the husband lost his job that also means he is fighting the sale very hard the schools here are amazing especially since they put in new metal detectors what are you doing the wife pam is played by ellie kemper who you will probably recognize as aaron from the office and jeff is played by comedian rob delaney which is when it cuts to max a resident ungrateful troublemaker for the movie who really needs to pee sick soda refills into one tiny ten-year-old's bladder does not go so they drive by the sign for the open house and the mom's like okay we're gonna pretend to buy a house
