Home Sweet Home Alone Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Home Sweet Home Alone!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
The first two Home Alone movies starring Macaulay Culkin were some of the biggest classics from the 90s-- and the magic has never really been recaptured. But, when Disney acquired the rights a few years ago, they naturally had to give it a shot and see if they could cash in on the popularity of the property. Thus, Home Sweet Home Alone was born.
Home Sweet Home Alone definitely raises some questions. Like why did they decide to make the bandits sympathetic? Why did they make the kid so unlikeable? Why did Pam and Jeff still want to break in after learning that there might also be a grandmother at home? How did none of the neighbors hear any of the commotion? Why did everyone become friends at the end of the movie?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Home Sweet Home Alone! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

@Bluespirit I would be so down for porch pirates getting electrocuted, lit on fire, and smashed with bricks or irons, among other more lethal but hilarious shenanigans. Mark Rober's glitter bomb 2.0 video (with Macaulay Culkin in it, take that Home Alone 6) is close, but not violent enough.

[@ZapDash]

@ELRIC B How about Wile E. Coyote or Tom (of "& Jerry" fame)? Coyote is kinda the protagonist, and Roadrunner definitely mocks him when his plans backfire. But he is trying to eat Roadrunner. Compare that to how Tom is often the one protecting the home while Jerry is just a little jerk. I think the Sylvester and Tweety setup has similar vibes. Not to say the protagonist can't also be a bad guy deserving the comeuppance, but I will agree we generally want violence done to villains.

Why do I now want a dark, gritty survival movie about a man in the wilderness fighting for his life against poachers who know he's seen too much, and that man.. is an older, grizzled Kevin McCallister.

Set it in the Alaskan Wilderness, "Nome Alone". Some time later he recovers, gets married settles down, has kids and divorces after his wife has an affair. Taking time to reflect, he returns to the city of his honeymoon to take stock of it all. The story is about the pathos of a middle aged man, uncertain of the meaning and direction of his life. Rome, Alone. Many decades later, we return to a much older Kevin McAllister, his wife (wom he met in Rome, Alone) has passed on, much like Clint Eastwood's character in Gran Turismo, his children don't call or write very often. His only friends are his cat, Gilgamesh, and a local Mexican boy, Enrico, with whom he bonds over their shared affection for garden ornaments. He is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Gnome Alone. I will take all of that money now Hollywood. Throw in some references to McAllister as Odysessus/ Leopold Bloom and just watch the awards roll in.

These new Home Alone movies seem to miss that it's not about the traps. They're fun but what made the original special was the Christmas spirit, likeable protagonist and great comedians as the villains. The original has heart.

[@TheGary108]

That and the fact the Kid was an actual victim who was bullied and abandoned by his family, unlike this version who was a brat.

[@kiranolan7104]

I think they should have stopped after the second movie.

[@ssjup81]

@@kiranolan7104 Same, actually...but I will give the third film *some* credit. They were trying something different. I didn't care for it myself, but I can understand why some might. Now after that, they should have truly stopped.

[@TheGary108]

@@ssjup81 I didn’t mind the third one so much, they went with a different kid and tried to up the stakes by having more bad guys break into the house. That and it was still a kinda okay movie with decent actors. I just wished it was still the McCallister family, it wouldn’t hurt to have the Buzz actor stand in as the father for like 5 minutes. No wonder Mculay didn’t bother with the rest of the movies that came after, he didn’t like what they did.

[@ssjup81]

@@TheGary108 Well he dropped acting in general and emancipated himself from his parents and was practically set financially for life. With his father being so demanding it doesn’t surprise me that he stopped doing acting gigs and will only do projects he wants.

"It would be ideal if the movie happened." Nearly 300 pitches and I don't think I've ever heard it put like this before this pitch of I guess a movie that's happened probably.

Fun Fact: The movie happened, and it was not ideal.

[@Carl_Frank]

I'm pretty sure he has said things like this before, but I could be wrong. Maybe never exactly like that. I'm not sure. And I'm not sure if I understand you right, but it would be hard to do one of these skits for a movie that hasn't happened. Unless he was psychic. Then it would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@thespectaculargamernerd8114]

That product placement description for the car was hilarious. 😂

[@BaconJake14]

I saw a Reddit thread about this movie before anyone knew anything and someone suggested the best thing that could have been. Basically a shot for shot remake of the first film except 40 year old Macaulay Culkin still plays 8 year old Kevin McCallister and the whole movie goes on as if he's actually a child.

[@Colinkrauss1]

The “It’s something, I’m almost sure of it” Is one of the best bits. It’s super insecure, but the producer has such a low bar for quality that it’s all he needs. It’s not even “definitely a movie” it just “might be something” 😂

[@jamesfraley2715]

Even if a film is low budget, it seems impossible that scripts like this get past filmmakers. I mean, even a grip could see the flaws in this plot - so many MFA degrees and they can't find one competent writer in Hollywood? Truly mind boggling.

[@dakat5131]

Sometimes feels like my writing isn't so bad after all. Sometimes even high budget films are written so poorly. "They spent way too much money for this to be the result!"

[@TheSuperappelflap]

all the competent writers were cancelled or quit because of poor pay or just walked away voluntarily. hollywood is done.

[@shawncleary3450]

The sad thing is the premise almost could have worked if they gave it one or two more rewrites. Just have the kid come from a wealthy but neglecting family who spends most of his time in his house alone forced to make his own entertainment. He can still be a jerk at times but you understand where it comes from.

For what it's worth, Ryan, I've watched maybe 99% of your Pitch Meeting videos.. (And I do have a "Super Easy" tshirt that i get comments on every time i wear it). All simply golden. That being said, i was thinking just last night as I was watching American Pie Reunion on Ntflx... A Pitch Meeting series on the American Pie films seems like low-hanging fruit. Please go for it! Lol! Cheers from sunny Phoenix, and thanks for the time and effort you put into doing what you do. Your caliber and quality of production clearly doesn't just hop into your computer when you wake up. It takes work. A LOT of work. And it's appreciated :)

This is one of those PM's where Producer Guy is just absolutely not having it. It's never entirely clear whether it's a reflection of Ryan's own deep annoyance with the film or if he just happened to act it this way on the day. Regardless, it's always extra hilarious when it's like this.

[@justinleonard6183]

[@tomstonemale]

I like to make a backstory for that where producer guy is really trying to make a good movie or at least decent one since by his own account he was smart with good grades and dreads the thought of making a bad product if he's not able to keep in check the insanity of the scriptwriter...but then Producer Guy remembers cocaine ain't cheap and his dealer is getting weirdly comfortable everytime he comes to his house to collect the money.
