Sheesh people, it's not that bad!
I watched this with my eight-year old daughter last night. (We are getting through all six Home Alone installments this season.) I did prepare her for the worst and even explained we would watch it at 1.25x since it was going to be torture... given the reviews.
It wasn't really that bad. It had a story involving divorce/ separation (which we could relate to) and sure, Kevin wasn't actually "home alone," but he was pretty isolated in that his own father didn't believe him, his soon-to-be step-mom was totally against his existence, and the butler was presumed in on it with the bad guys. Poor kid.
Anyways, we got through it no problem. Some cool booby traps, also kids like to see houses with cool stuff and this had that for sure. Solid 5/10.
On to The Holiday Heist!
