"Google Assistant: Home Alone Again" is a really short film at one minute only and the title already gives away that this is a little spoof of the classic Home Alone movie and the reason why many people checked it out when it was released for the 2018 holidays is that Macaulay Culkin reprises his role and shows us why Home Alone would not have worked in the the now. It is basically him giving instructions to Google's highly intelligent technology that makes sure everything is in order and stays that away and the villains leave right away and the pizza boy just gets his change and so on. Many references to the actual film, but yeah, it is a pretty brief commercial, nothing special by any means and I somehow feel that even those who really love Home Alone will not be too amazed by it, also because it shows us once again everything that went wrong with Culkin('s career.) I mean even his brother is having a great career these days with Emmy nominations or so. Overall, it's okay this was made, but seeing it once is really enough, maybe one time too many already as it is not as funny as it wants to be and honestly if you watch this without knowing Home Alone, then you probably have no clue at all what is going on. So skip this one. I give it a thumbs-down.
