Plots(1)
A band of international crooks has hidden a military computer chip inside a toy car, but an airport mix-up lands it in the hands of whiz-kid Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) who's home alone with the chicken pox in a quiet Chicago suburb. When the criminals zero in on Alex's house with their high-tech gadgetry, madness and mayhem kick into high gear as the pint-sized hero defends himself against the bumbling bad guys -armed with an outrageous array of ambushes and booby traps! (official distributor synopsis)

I wouldn’t have believed that it could be possible to find a more unlikeable kid than Macaulay Culkin…

As a little cheeky bugger, I quite liked it, however, after watching it now after all these years, I feel queasy.

Yeah, what an adorable kid. And the remote controlled car, that was cool! And the four adult morons falling all the time, ha-ha-ha. Really great!
()
A group of adults is chasing after a remote-controlled car like lunatics, with its control range unbelievably long, going through walls and who knows what else. Yes, the plot compares unfavorably to the classic two films with Macaulay Culkin, which unfortunately doesn't change the fact that it's quite stupidly decent. One wouldn't even believe that John Hughes was one of the screenwriters. The actors here are terrible, all of them, though the presence of young Scarlett Johansson is the only thing that pleases.
