It's like the remake of Adventures in Babysitting. Horrible. Why can't they leave a classic alone? These studios need to start taking chances on new movies not rehashing what was done better before.

Yeah to Rob Delaney! I really enjoyed his Catastrophe series on Prime. I’ve never seen the Home Alone movies but does the Dad character have much to do?

I like Rob Delaney, but he's far too hairy and too old to be Ellie Kemper's husbear.

Hopefully they'll give the role of Marv to Ellie's uncle, Edmund Kemper.

When Marlo Thomas remade "It's A Wonderful Life," everyone went, "This is awful, I wonder if the original was this bad."
And that's how it became a classic

R31 well it’s actually going to be a double remake of sorts: ‘Home Alone With The Wind’. Set in 1863, Kevin O’Hara is accidentally abandoned at his Aunt PittyPat’s in Atlanta, by his histrionic cousin Scarlet, during Sherman’s invasion. He must use the china the maid Prissy broke, Aunt Pitty’s leftover smelling salts and Uncle Peter’s axe to deter the Union soldiers from getting in the house. He earlier in the film finds a companion who he had been previously frightened of Ms. Belle Whatling, a hooker with a heart of gold who Kevin convinces to go straight. In the end Kevin defeats Sherman and slavery remains legal. Directed by Tarantino, this film is already generating Oscar buzz.

Besides the Home Alone sequels, of which Hughes wrote 2, he also wrote 101 Dalmations, Baby's Day Out, and Flubber all of which contained bumbling criminals who get punished in cartoony ways. The formula continued even after Hughes died, in mostly low budget direct to dvd schlock. I have zero faith that this latest version will be indistinguishable from all the remakes, sequels, and rehashes over the years.

Despite its legacy of bad sequels, it's undeniable how culturally important the film is given how many times it's been attempted over the years. It's one of those films, like Sandlot or Mrs Doubtfire, whose cultural relevance didn't become apparent until many years later.

Has anyone watched the new series on Netflix called "The Movies That Made Us". Home Alone is one of the movies being featured. Everything I learned about the film was new to me. All the interiors of the house were filmed in a high school gymnasium in Chicago (the same school featured in Ferris Bueller) and an empty pool because the actual house couldn't accommodate the sets. You also learn that Chris Columbus hates Chevy Chase and has no problem saying so in public. Interesting doc for sure. Die Hard, another famous Christmas movie is also covered in the series.
