JUST FOR LAUGHS
Home Sweet Home Alone.
Home for the holidays. On his own.
Max is accidentally left behind when his family travels to Japan for Christmas. A couple searching for a missing heirloom believes he has it, and their attempt to retrieve it sparks a battle of elaborate household traps.

The familiar setup adds a misunderstanding that lets viewers see both sides of the conflict. Max gradually learns that having the house to himself is not the same as having a happy holiday.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Repeated painful slapstick, children left alone, attempted break-ins, rude jokes, and family anxiety. The dangerous traps are not safe to imitate.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
