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, thus alarming the parents.

Quotes

It's bad. Very very bad

This is a terrible movie. There is no story. They took the base from the movie series and then forgot to write the story. All the characters are awful. It's full of stupid people, who would do anything except to talk where they need to. They do the step exactly opposite to which a normal person, with some common sense would do in that situation. Creators of this movie were just thinking in cashing on the name of home alone. Showing all happy, families sitting together at the end won't make it a good movie. People won't forget what they saw before that.
