NO PARENTS. NO PROBLEM.

After being left home alone when his family goes to Japan, young Max Mercer (Archie Yates) clashes with a married couple (Rob Delaney, Ellie Kemper) who are trying to break into the house to steal a valuable doll.

The sixth Home Alone movie isn’t as bad as could be expected, thanks to the efforts of numerous comedians behind and in front of the camera.

Yates is better than some of the other kids who’ve been home alone in the franchise and it’s fun to see Devin Ratray back from the original. Dull slapstick, though.

2021-U.S. VOD. 93 min. Color. Directed by Dan Mazer. Cast: Archie Yates (Max Mercer), Rob Delaney (Jeff McKenzie), Ellie Kemper (Pam McKenzie), Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Tim Simons.
