I’m fluctuating between “not good” and “bad” as a descriptor for this movie. On the one hand, it’s not the worst Christmas movie I’ve ever seen, being largely inoffensive. On the other hand, it’s paint by numbers plot, its bad script and dialogue, and its inability to make one interesting choice make it hard not to dislike. It feels like I’ve seen this movie a hundred times before, with every single line of dialogue wholly unoriginal and derivative of the…

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning 2023
It’s crazy how much my opinion has changed on this movie in comparison to my first review.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 2023
This was such a limp to the finish line. Crystal Skull should’ve left well enough alone, but this one really drives the knife in deeper. This movie provides no reason for why it exists.

Home Sweet Home Alone 2021
Not terrible, production wise, but it lacks soul. The bad guys aren’t really bad, the good guys aren’t really good, and there’s only a few funny bits in a movie that’s supposed to be funny wacky booby trap hijinks. Most of the time, the script is just lame and cringe, especially when it states the motivations of characters out loud and the theme of the movie at the very end. All in all, it was only slightly offensive, which is as much praise as I can give a sequel to some of the best holiday movies of all time.
