Alone for Christmas (2013 Video)
6/10
Good parody of the Home Alone franchise

Warning: Spoilers
This franchise provides a good parody of the Home Alone franchise of movies. Instead of a little boy being left home by his parents, it is a dog who escapes from a shady kennel and is left alone to defend the house (till his brother Columbus returns) against three bumbling imbeciles who couldn't punch themselves out of a water paper sack. And I will say there is a lot of homaging to Home Alone in the way the movie portrays itself, right down the idiot criminals using a Dodge van as their vehicle of choice.

Everything about this film is awful, from the writing, the directing, the CGI, the acting, etc. But that is what makes this film enjoyable is just how horrendously awful it is. It is awful from the first moment the dogs start talking as there is recycled scenes right off the bat, and it continues to play the cheesiness to the very end. But the kicker for chesiness is Kevin Sorbo being mashed together to play a Ace Ventura wannabe who moonlights as Quint. His parts are the most hilarious I have ever seen involving him.

This film is better than The Asylum's Golden Winter, which is disheartening to me as I like golden retrievers. But there is some recycled material though, from the music, the Santas were the same actor, one of the mean dogs from Golden Winter was used for Bone I believe, and the Dodge van used in Golden Winter is the same one used for Alone for Christmas I believe.
