Kevin McCallister is back -- and he's bitter and pretty bizarre!
A stringy-haired Macaulay Culkin reprised his beloved role of mischief-making Kevin McCallister from the hit 1990 film Home Alone for a new web series called :DRYVRS. Sounds funny, but it's mostly not. We think it's supposed to be a dark comedy -- but it's pretty much just cringe inducing.
Culkin, who unfortunately seems like he forgot how to act or find a shower, plays a grown up McCallister who has angry Uber/Lyft driver, still upset with his mother for leaving him behind.
The perturbed driver tells his passenger, "How about this? It's Christmastime. It's f--king Christmas. And your whole family goes on vacation, whole family, and they forget their 8-year-old f--king son."
The series stars Jack Dishel, who plays, "an on-demand car service passenger and chronicles the strange drivers he encounters." The series has the potential to be funny but falls short -- just like Culkin's career.
