"Home Alone" More Fun in 2018 for Adult Kevin McCallister with Google Assistant


Oh yah, you read right - happy holidays ya filthy animal! Google brings back the nostalgia with new ads featuring Macaulay Culkin, reprising his role as Kevin McCallister, in a comedic "remake" of the classic film.

To celebrate one of the most popular holiday movies of all time, we catch up with a now 38-year-old McAllister and revisit iconic scenes with a tech twist. See what happens when a wiser and older Kevin enlists help from Google Assistant-enabled devices like Home Hub or Pixel phone. 


Every year, Home Alone searches trend on Google during the holidays, spiking 1900% in a month last year. For a limited time, fans can also try it out themselves to discover interactive Easter eggs by asking specific questions - Google Assistant will respond with lines from the original film. 


To get in on the fun, say "Hey Google..."
  • "Did I forget something?" to hear the iconic "KEVINNNNN!" scream.
  • "How much do I owe you?" or "It's me Snakes. I got the stuff," to recreate a back-and-forth dialogue from the movie Kevin watches, Angels with Filthy Souls.
  • "The Wet Bandits are here" to hear what Kevin would do in his most heroic moment.
  • "I'm the man of the house" and relive the famous scene when Kevin puts aftershave on his face.
