The first film in the loosely-connected "Home Alone" series not to include a Chicago setting.

Mr. Hughes, one of the villains in the movie, shares his name with John Hughes, who created the "Home Alone" series and also wrote the first three movies. Also the fourth "Home Alone" movie is based on Hughes' characters.

Like "Home Alone 3" (1997), this one doesn't have Kevin McCallister as the main character. Also, like "Home Alone 4" (2002), the main character is not left home "alone", but with his older sibling.

At 56 minutes and 32 seconds in, after Sinclair disproves that a ghost created the patch of ice on the front porch, he says "We're not a bunch of two-bit bandits", referencing the Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv, from the original "Home Alone" movies.

The only film in the series to not feature a character whom the protagonist initially fears, then befriends by the end.
