Home Alone getting rebooted for Disney+

Ugh, why? It's as pointless as the other Home Alone films over the years. Home Alone 2 was pushing it, and I actually love that movie.

Home Alone 3 tried to go back to the old formula, but it was still dull compared to the previous 2 and was dumb because the kid was purposely left at home. Anything beyond that was just ridiculous. They're like, what, five movies now?

Anyway, back to my point, why in the world would they reboot this film? How fun would it even be? Since parents hover over their kids these days, I couldn't picture a child being left alone. They have smartphones. Parents can track their kids. Thirty years ago, that wasn't case. Kevin being counted over and accidentally left behind was a bit more believable...other parts of the movie weren't (that cop that checked the house should have been fired and the old man with the shovel should have checked in with Kevin's family after saving him from the Wet Bandits to realize that he was "Home Alone").

The only way I could see another Home Alone film working is if it's centered around an adult Kevin and something from there...but not sure what they could actually do, though...
