Like the other reviewers sad this is just a poor copy of home alone. Not bad for background noise but that's about it, it's a cute little story and at least no ones a brat. Apparently all the mother can do is constantly complain about how cold she is. So if you're stuck watching this have a drink every singe time she mentions how cold she is. You'll either be buzzed enough to find this funny or pass out

How did this make the cut? An example of terrible writing, uninspired story telling and weak acting. It feels like it was pulled together last minute. Danny Glover must have been desperate to star in this. Also why the Home Alone copy cat, do something original. I'm amazed Netflix added this to their collection, worse promote it.

The kid's didn't like how careless the parents are and make up for abandoning their daughter by buying her things. Not a good lesson in this one. (Danny Glover was way too good for this)

The acting of most the adults on this film is as bad as a crime as the original robbery. The plot is tired and used. I cannot say how bad this film was.

Stunned how bad this film was! Can't believe they got Danny Glover to star in it

Watched this with my kids

Why Denise Richards and Danny Glover (albeit not the best actors ever) put their name to this is beyond me. Except for the cash in.

Tried to be a bit like home alone. Failed miserably.

Characters and plot are bottom of the barrel. Zero action, not funny and 100% not entertaining.

Spend your hour and a half doing anything else.

Has is come this far? Danny glover should've quit acting after this. Poor man. Deserved better.

Not sure why this movie got so many bad reviews. It's a cute kids' movie, nothing more. My kids (10 & 14 years old) liked it, as did I. I do agree with other reviewers that it had a "Home Alone" ripoff feel to it, but I still thought it was cute. It is always nice to have a movie without any questionable content, so my kids can watch!

Except for Glover and O'Brien, the acting was third rate. Some parts were cute and the story had possibilities but the settings were uninspiring and the directing amateurish. Also thought that the brother's character should have played a more important part.

It's a modern home alone, similar plot, similar story line. Paren to forget their kid at the school all Christmas break. Criminals try and brake in. She does random stuff around the school, it is almost the exact same story but just with different characters,

Forget that it's derivative and predictable: it's holiday entertainment, and should be watched as such. In the right frame of mind, it's really rather fun!

I was highly disappointed with this movie. The storyline is really dumb and the events that take place are so unrealistic!!!!! The parents are possibly THE WORST and dumbest parents I've ever seen. They are irresponsible, selfish, careless and do some really dumb stuff throughout the film. I feel bad that Danny Glover, who is actually a good actor, signed up to this abysmal excuse for a movie!!!

I hated this film and don't know why I kept watching it. Very slow and rubbish storyline. I would not recommend at all! Don't put yourself through it. Acting is Bad.

Just a bad movie. The kid is a very far cry from a natural. She needs lessons. That blonde curly sue hair can't carry her. Bad parenting, bad acting, just a bad film I wasted my time on.

I get that this is a light-hearted movie but I was not entertained at all. The characters are all one-dimensional and cliched. Even the girl's tactics are not believable at all.

Over half of the camera shots are not centered on the individual. It cuts off half of their face so we can see the inanimate objects next to these people. Weird.

Good kids movie. No academy awards here, but some funny moments, especially the sleigh scene.

Not sure what is the worst part of this movie- the acting, the plot or the length.. its painfully boring and static!!

But apparently everyone who wrote reviews thought it would be! 🙂

It was cute but it kinda mimicked home alone. I would of liked it better if it had a different story plot

I decided to watch because someone said it is similar to Home Alone. NOT-IN-A-MILLION-YEARS!

As others have pointed out, this is a cheap rip-off of Home Alone. I'm not sure why Danny Glover would add this to his dossier, but even Robin Williams had 'RV'. It doesn't matter that the acting is awful, with the exception of Glover, because the writing couldn't have been worse. The next time Netflix goes bargaining shopping looking to add to their repertoire, someone there should actually watch it to see what they're subjecting their audience to.
