Movie of the Week: 'David Seymour – Home Alone'

From The Satiriser’s Entertainment Desk

‘David Seymour will be acting Prime Minister for a couple of days this week while Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters are overseas for diplomatic duties’ - Newshub

David Seymour – Home Alone, the latest release from Coalition Motion Pictures, hits screens across the country this week.

Billed as a ‘warm-hearted family action-comedy’ the feature is aimed squarely at the ‘squeezed middle’ demographic and showcases the talents of the studio’s rising young star.

Titular protagonist David Seymour is an ordinary if cheeky nine-year-old boy, prone to outbursts like ‘I can say whatever I want!’, ‘You can’t stop me!’ and ‘Sushi is pukey!’.  

David’s busy parents, Chris and Winnie, tolerate and even encourage the lippy tyke’s behaviour in the name of family unity, rewarding him with privileges like choosing what goes in his school lunchbox.

But in a twist telegraphed by the movie’s name, little David’s world is turned upside down when his parents, laser-focussed on jetting overseas for a few days of grip-and-grinning with world leaders, realise too late that he alone has been left in charge of the country.
