    Yes, Home Sweet Home Alone might be popular to hate now, but before that, there was another non-theatrical sequel that a lot of people forget about...for good reason. Nostalgia Critic checks out Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist.

    A few things I like about this movie:
    - I like the trap setup scene. The soundtrack is great, and that split-screen time-lapse shot is an interesting idea that wasn't done in the previous movies.
    - Another cool idea is that Finn is a gamer, so it makes sense that he would be creative enough to make all those traps. He'd probably be good at redstone in Minecraft.
    - The actors are pretty good. Obviously Malcolm McDowell is there, but I also think the angsty teen sister is kinda funny, and the mother is entertaining whenever she gets mad.

People are accepting these people are stupid when they decide to watch it after reading the title. Everyone in the movie needs to be stupid in some way for any of the Home Alone movies to work.

    I was hoping that the sister, Alexis would help Finn with the traps, but it was still up to Finn in the end with some added help from the kid next door. But Alexis was the one to confront two of the crooks and trap them in the safe room. The goal for Finn was not missing his family but getting over his fears and learning to expand his interests beyond video games. At the end it shows him beginning to do that. 5 is a smaller Home Alone and definitely not as classic, but I personally still find it entertaining. I will watch 1, 2, 3, and 5. 4 and 6 are the worse.

      I think it could have been a powerful moment if it was only Buzz & Kevin it wouldn't have worked if it was the whole family it would have made the scene far to hammy. True Brothers can be like that they may even bully the younger siblings but if someone was threatening the younger kids even the bully Brothers would make a stand against the threat.

    Here is my ranking of the 6 Home Alone Movies:
    1.Home Alone-Christmas Holiday Classic! Best Christmas movie in my opinion! (No need to explain, you know it’s great and the best one!)
    2.Home Alone 2:Lost in New York-Almost just as good as the first Home Alone, I consider it a classic as well! (Also no need to explain, it’s great in my opinion!)
    3.Home Alone 3-Highly underrated movie! Not as good as “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2:Lost in New York” AT ALL, however it is SOMEWHAT fun to watch. In my opinion the traps are decent and this new kid character is actually okay! I also kinda like the whole dangerous evil spies trying to break in to find nuke chip plot! (At least they actually deserve it) In my opinion, this is a good/fine movie to watch once every year!
    4.Home Alone 5:The Holiday Heist-I actually like this one a little bit more than “Home Sweet Home Alone”, however that doesn’t make it good. It’s overall just a big “MEH” movie in my opinion. Some traps are good, some are okay, some are..stupid. Just like Doug, I got a few laughs and a little enjoyment, but nothing more major than that. It’s a movie you watch once and forget about like 10 minutes after watching it. Then every year you just remind yourself “Oh yeah! That was a thing!”
    5.Home Sweet Home Alone-This movie definitely could’ve been better, however what we got was not so great. The kid who is Home Alone is not likeable (the character in the movie), it focuses more on the “bad guys”, and the only reason the bad guys are even “breaking into” the kid’s house is because they thought he stole the doll that they could sell to keep their house, so when they go through the traps, you feel bad for them and so it’s just not fun or funny anymore. Although they did get the original actor of Buzz back for a small role, it is just not enough to save this movie.
    6.Home Alone 4:Taking Back the House-MAN do I hate this movie. They actually had the audacity to bring back “Kevin” and “Marv” and the rest of the “family” to be played by different actors who don’t even look like them. Why didn’t they just have new characters!?? I also hate this new problem/plot where the dad is divorced from the mom, which is an unnecessary plot for a HOME ALONE movie!!
