Disney is revitalizing Home Sweet Home Alone trailer, Devin Ratray returns to reprise his role as Buzz McCallister.
Though Home Alone is a classic film, several things don't make sense in the story. For instance, the robbers never get seriously injured. Despite the villains dealing with blowtorches, swinging paint buckets, and rogue nails, the film plays off the injuries as comedy. In real life, the robbers wouldn't make it out so well. Additionally, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) never gets the police involved. By dialing 911, McCallister could've avoided the need to set up an elaborate homemade security system.
The Home Alone reboot will likely avoid one egregious error from the original. In Home Alone, Kevin McCallister's frantic family accidentally leaves him at home while rushing out the door to catch a flight to . However, they eventually realize Kevin is stuck at home and abruptly try to return. Complicating the matter, the phone lines near their home are down, so the family can't Kevin. Despite the phone issues, Kevin somehow orders a pizza and has it delivered to his house. It's an odd sequence of events in the original movie, and the reboot can avoid it entirely.
Modern technology makes the phone plot hole obsolete. Because of cell phones and the internet, the new film won't have to concern itself with phone lines being down, and Max can order as many pizzas for delivery as he wants. Additionally, Max's parents could quickly a neighbor or the police to check on their son. In the time since the original Home Alone, fans have explained away the phone plot hole because it's believed the phone lines for long-distance calls to the McCallister home were damaged, but local calls could still work. However, because phone lines aren't an issue, the new Home Alone doesn't require so much squinting for the plot to make sense.
A bigger problem is why Max doesn't his parents. In the trailer for the new film, Max seems to revel in the fact that his parents don't realize he's still at home. So, despite having the technology available to his parents, it's possible that he simply doesn't want to talk to them. It's a vast difference between Home Alone and the remake reboot. While it's odd that a young boy would like to take on two home invaders by himself, it would explain why modern technology can't quickly rectify the situation in the Home Alone remake.
