Summary

  • Home Alone franchise struggled to replicate the success of the first two movies, partly due to Culkin's inimitable performance and later sequels focusing too much on physical comedy.
  • Home Alone 2: Lost in New York managed to be even better than the first movie by putting a new twist on the concept of a child being left unsupervised.
  • Home Sweet Home Alone attempted to reboot the franchise but didn't live up to the high standards of the first two movies, wasting the potential of its great comedic cast.
