My poor sweet little angel, a remake of the 90s film

Although it may seem incredible, the rental of the McCallister mansion offered by the Airbnb platform coincides with what will be the remake of this classic film. Yes, as you see it and it is that last month the launch of My poor and sweet little angel took place.
It is a remake of the original film from the 90s, but this time it will be Max Mercer, played by the young actor Archie Yates. What is most striking about the news is that little Archie was also part of the cast of the popular Jojo Rabbit. This has surprised many fans who closely follow the path of a young actor.
What you should know about this remake is that the story is a bit different from the original. In addition to the change of the name of the main character, there are other important modifications. One of these is now a British version and the thieves are a man and a woman. It must be remembered that in the original film there were two male thieves who tried to enter the McCallister house.
However, beyond the twists with respect to the original story, My poor sweet little angel is full of comedy. It is enough to see it once to remember with great nostalgia that movie starring the mischievous Kevin McCallister.
