This movie is by no means a good movie. Most of the movie consists of weak dialogue, cheap cinematics and poor acting. Read until the end of the review if you're hesitant to watch.
Luckily, the last half of the movie has a lot of hilarious scenes. Similar to the Home Alone movies. All these scenes are super cheap and weird, but with the right mindset it can be hilarious. Some of them had the family rolling in laughter.
I would happily rewatch the last half for its stupidity and laughter. But the rest is not very entertaining.
For anyone who wants to skip the first half, here's a summary of what happens:
A family is going to their grandma during christmas.
They have 2 dogs, one of which is wrongfully blamed for ruining the house, and is therefore sent to the kennel during christmas.
Both dogs realize that their home is about to be broken into, so they both try to find their way home to stop the burglars.
One dog sets up traps, and the other dog finds a ride home.
The last half is similar to Home Alone, and is pretty much the only thing worth seeing.

Just about as bad as it gets.
Obviously a low budget movie but my goodness the actors are abysmal.
Not fun, not exciting, not funny at all.
Dogs are nice though, hence the 1 star rating.

By far the worst movie I have ever seen and I regret every second of it. All this cause of my beloved teacher.

Trees with leaves in Wisconsin on Christmas Eve? LOL! Enough said! Bone is adorable, though.

Comparing briefly what Bone Alone was reminiscent of, it is not as good as the first two Home Alone films or the first Look Who's Talking but is on the same level as Look Who's Talking Too and Home Alone 3 and is better than Home Alone 4(almost anything is in all fairness) and Look Who's Talking Now. I disagree with the first two reviewers, Bone Alone to me wasn't great but it also wasn't that terrible, if anything it was a mixed bag with some good and some bad.
Good: For a low budget movie, Bone Alone does look surprisingly decent, the scenery is very nice and colourful and the camera work is better than most low-budget movies, not entirely smooth but far from choppy. The soundtrack is bright and breezy, there are some well-engineered if in some cases somewhat familiar slapstick traps, there are some refreshing twists in others, and some effects are alright. The acting is mixed but much more watchable than expected to be, Kevin Sorbo gives the best performance with the best comic timing of the movie. David DeLuise is both sympathetic and amusing. Oh and the dog Bone is just adorable, with Bill Pomeroy doing a competent job as the voice of Bone. Bone Alone is a short movie and whizzes by though with some lulls in the middle.
Bad: The comic timing is very off in places, too over-earnest and forced. Kim Little, who usually isn't so bad an actress, is disappointingly erratic as the mother and Davis Cleveland is very annoying, if not quite as unwatchably obnoxious like he is on Shake It Up(one of the Disney Channel's worst shows). Not all the effects are particularly good too, some in the trap settings and executions are very slapdash. In regard to the comic timing too, that the dialogue is very corny and awkward does them no favours and the characters you never do engage with, the criminals being among the dumbest committed to movie celluloid. The story being predictable is to be expected but a few scenes in the middle feel drawn out and it is never plausible that Bone can fool the criminals in the way he did. The whole movie is lacking in heart and can feel harmless, also for a movie supposedly set at Christmas there is not much of a sense of the festive spirit.
All in all, could have been better could have been worse. Mildly watchable family entertainment on the whole. 5/10 Bethany Cox

If you thought you'd never see 'Home Alone' meets 'Jaws', then you're in for a surprise as Kevin Sorbo delivers an almost faithful rendition of Robert Shaw's famed shark-hunter as he attempts to subdue a pesky mutt who's proving a handful for a trio of bumbling thieves trying to ransack a house on Christmas.
Beyond Sorbo's brief parody, it's rank amateur hour as the thieves become increasingly frustrated by the dog's spirited defence of its owner's property, leading to predictable results. David DeLuise and Kim Little co-star as the anxious parents desperate to return home and reunite their kids with the beloved pets.
The gags nearly all fall flat (a couple are also questionable), and the paper-thin plot is unable to sustain the overlong 95 minute run-time on this over-cooked Christmas turkey. There's cheap and cheerful and then there's cheap and nasty, and this cringeworthy claptrap is firmly the latter.

This movie legitimately was so bad. If you like Home Alone, just watch that movie and don't waste your energy trying to entertain yourself with this rip-off. It's very cliche and predictable. If you like the plot summary, please just watch Home Alone. I genuinely cannot stress this enough, but this movie is terrible. Not even your toddler-aged kids will like it. The acting is alright but felt awkward at times, and the plot stops making sense at some times. The cinematics are awful and will leave you questioning your sanity. The animation on the dogs like 'talking' were horrible, it looked like they were having a seizure. The animators definitely have potential, maybe the budget was just low? Either way, seriously, choose a different movie if you love dogs.

I honestly want to rate this lower. I think this film is poor in many ways. But I do remember when I was younger thoroughly enjoying it. It would be too bad to stick your kid in front off and let them have a mediocre time.
This era of "CGI talking animated animals" does strike a cord with me as I liked watching these film when I was younger (like 10 or so), so I am slightly biased here. But I feel that's more so the point, it's targeted towards kids who don't need to have the same level of quality adults do in order to enjoy themselves and emerse themselves into a piece of fiction.
Any kid who likes animals would probably like it. I still think it's bad though, even now. So 5/10.

I have a Bone Alone DVD and my 5-year-old children watch it daily! It like morbius for kids because of how much my sons love it! I have 2 children. My favorite part is when the funny looking dog says "It's bonein time" and bones all of the robbers! A true family classic for future generations to behold!

This little film isn't a subject for serious review, being a lesser version of "Home Alone" with a dog instead of a kid, but Kevin Sorbo's bit as Quentin, a tough freelance dogcatcher, is worth checking out. His take on Quint in "Jaws" is so brilliant that I think he deserves some kind of Oscar, if only for keeping a straight face. Apart from that, the dogs are handsome and the canine cleverness may make the kids giggle (I must admit I found it amusing when the burglars' ringleader was sneaking around covered in furry toys and squeaking with each step). The real appeal is Sorbo, however-I don't think I've ever seen him in a film before, but I'll be watching for him now.

As the title says, wonderful film full of laughs that will keep you smiling the entire time. Including a wonderful cast such as David DeLuise(Wizards Of Waverly Place), Davis Cleveland(Shake It Up), Kevin Sorbo(Hercules), & Chris Kattan(SNL). The dogs are great for dog lovers, and are really cute. The criminals are funny but scary, just like the ones in the Home Alone films. Speaking of which, it is basically another addition to the Home Alone movie series, except instead of a kid kicking the criminal's butts, its dogs. Wonderful idea and nicely filmed. I hope for a sequel for sure!
Any lover of Family comedy's, or lover of "The Home Alone Series" will LOVE this film.

Dad (David Deluise) and his family are going to Grandma's for Christmas. But, their two dogs, Bone and Columbus, get into trouble before the trip. Basically, a crying baby doll under the tree makes Columbus go berzerk and open the package. But, Dad thinks it was Bone's fault and tells the family that Bone will have to be boarded while they are away. The kids are upset but Mom insists. However, a scheming dog kennel owner, who takes Bone, has an elaborate deception going on. While the families are away, this man knows which houses are empty and has a team rob the places. Unbelievably, both Bone and Columbus break away from family and head back to the house, just as the thieves break in. What happens next is a variant of Home Alone, where the doggies set traps for the robbers and the guys end up bruised and angry but don't give up! This includes one (Kevin Sorbo) who gets the "electric shock" of a lifetime and staggers out of the house. Can the dogs hold off the perps until the family comes home? This take on the classic film of Home Alone is ok and has some funny scenes, although some of the humor is a bit harsh, such as the teen who ends up in the laundry shoot with darts aimed at his bottom. The dogs themselves are a total delight and so is Sorbo. The rest of the cast is nothing remarkable, with Deluise getting no chances to prove what a fine comedic actor he is. Nevertheless, children and families could do worse than watch Alone for Christmas.
