    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Chris Columbus, director of Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), had the following to say when the topic of this reboot came up during an interview while promoting The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020): "Nobody got in touch with me about it, and it's a waste of time as far as I'm concerned. What's the point? I'm a firm believer that you don't remake films that have had the longevity of Home Alone. You're not going to create lightning in a bottle again. It's just not going to happen. So why do it? It's like doing a paint-by-numbers version of a Disney animated film - a live-action version of that. What's the point? It's been done. Do your own thing. Even if you fail miserably, at least you have come up with something original."
    • Goofs
      When Max enters the house after sleeping in the car the house alarm is on. His movements in the house should trigger the motion sensors and thus alarm the parents.
    • Quotes

      Hunter: Uh, this is garbage. I don't know why they are always trying to remake the classics. Never as good as the originals.

    Worse than expected
    This movie has no heart like the first ones... You get no love for the kid and you dont get much joy when the unlucky couple gets punished. Production quality is high though.... Its just a movie that will be forgotten.
