If you're a dog lover you will watch this movie because there is a very cute dog on the cover. If you're a movie lover you will feel swindled.
Sorbo was a great character for the 14 minutes that he actually appeared in the movie. The bad guys were about the same as the bad guys in other Home Alone movies. The acting had some cringeworthy moments but in and of itself it was not what upset me most about this movie.
SPOILER ALERT The real issue that made me feel betrayed was the plot Inconsistencies: (a) The family is on their way to visit the grandparents 4 hours away and they put one of their dogs in a kennel because grandma is "too old," but yet we find out that grandma is not only nimble but she has her own dog and she seems to love dogs. (b) The grandparents end up with the family's dog (in addition to their own dog) in their car but don't realize it is their own kids' dog?? (c) Despite living 4 hours away the grandparents decide to randomly drive this dog who they don't recognize to its home 4 hours away even though their kids and grandkids are on their way to visit them?? (d) The grandparents don't realize that the house they're driving to is their own kids home until they get there which is weird because the family is close enough to spend the holidays together, but not close enough to apparently know where their own kids live?? (e) The family ends up with grandparent's German Shepard but have no clue that it's their grandparents dog?? (e) The dogs can communicate with each other and apparently even they don't know that their owners are related. (f) Despite the family having a cell phone which they use throughout the movie, no one decides to actually contact grandma and grandpa at any point to let them know that the family is not going to make it to the grandparent's home and instead the family is surprised when grandma and grandpa show up on the family's front porch on the same day that the family is supposed to be 4 hours away at grandparent's house??
