We needed a makeover of a kids classic like Mom I missed the plane? Probably not, but Disney, now very much launched in the live-action and in the reboots of the cult of yesterday, thought that it was really the case to rework a film that Millennials know by heart and that, to be honest, are also a little curious to see under a new guise. The film, which is called in English Home Sweet Home Alone, will be released on Disney + on November 12th and will no longer see Macaulay Culkin as protagonist but instead Archie Yates, which had already been noted in JoJo Rabbit by Taika Waititi. Although with few variations, the plot of the reboot of Mom I missed the plane it is almost identical to the original: the young Max Mercer is, in fact, forgotten at home while his family is flying to Japan (no longer to Paris).
The novelty is that the two thugs, Henry and Marv, played by Joe Pesci e Daniel Stern, who tried to break into the McCallister house and get Kevin’s round-ups, will be replaced by a married couple trying to recover a priceless heirloom. The couple is played by Ellie Kemper, the protagonist of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Rob Delaney, while the cast also includes Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Tim Simons, Pete Holmes, Devin Ratray, Ally Maki, Chris Parnell. The protagonist of the first two films of the saga, Macaulay Culkin, should return for a cameo, as well as the actor who plays brother Buzz, Devin Ratray.
To watch the trailer, however, the only glue between the first Mom I missed the plane and the last one is a policeman’s tag that says the surname McCallister. For the rest, Dan Mazer’s film seems to play a lot with the quotes: like the scene in which Max throws his face in M & M’s recalling the famous Tony Montana sequence in Scarface. If the new Mom I missed the plane it will live up to the original we will find out only with time, so, for the moment, all that remains is to review the fundamentals: from “keep the rest, you filthy bastard” to the mannequins dancing to the notes of Rockin ‘Around the Christmas Tree.
