10 Most Pointless Movies Ever Made
8. Home Sweet Home Alone
The sixth entry into the Home Alone franchise, Home Sweet Home Alone, is one of the most egregiously unasked-for Hollywood sequels ever.
The three prior sequels, each more tawdry than the last, have categorically proven that audiences just aren't interested in Home Alone as a brand without Macaulay Culkin's involvement, and yet Disney made one more attempt to soft-reboot the series for their Disney+ streaming service. But the near-universal disdain from critics and audiences alike makes it painfully clear that just about everybody is perfectly content rewatching the first two Home Alone movies every Christmas rather than bothering with this cynical, low-effort slop.
Hell, it doesn't even function properly as a bog-standard carbon copy of the original, with the filmmakers inexplicably presenting the thieves in a more sympathetic light, making it decidedly tougher for the audience to relish their inevitable slapstick scrapes.
Let's be honest, though, did anyone give this movie a second thought from the moment the end credits rolled?
