Trivia:
Haviland Morris who plays Alex D. Linz' mother in the film is a natural redhead along with Scarlett Johansson who plays her daughter in the film. Catherine O'Hara, who played Macaulay Culkin's mother in the series first two films, also had red hair: a tribute to the the original films. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: When the bad guys are supposed to be in a San Francisco airport, the scene was obviously filmed in Chicago's O'Hare airport. They then catch a flight to Chicago, and emerge at a different part of O'Hare. moreQuotes:
[while Beaupre, Unger, Jernigan and Alice are sitting at the dinner table, they discuss their plans to steal Alex's toy car]Earl Unger: Tomorrow, whack every kid in the neighborhood. Burn them all!
[the four "spies" all stare at him]
Earl Unger: Then look for that stupid toy car.
Peter Beaupre: My thoughts keep turning to number 3026. It's within the operating radius of the toy car. It's in sight of all the houses I've been in.

Precocious youngster Linz, a target of torment for his older siblings and uptight next door neighbor, is stuck at home with the dreaded chicken pox. He stumbles upon a top secret computer chip that makes him the target of four, high-precision international spies determined to re-obtain it, but the feisty youngster is determined to defend his home at all costs. The whole thing is pretty formulaic, but smarter crooks, an appealing cast, and a surprising amount of unexpected laughs help overcome the script's wild leaps of logic. Not very original, but there are more than enough good gags and amusing situations to make it worth a look. **½
