Home Alone 3 (1997)

One of my all time favorites.

I'll tell you why so serious

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Man, this movie is not for great shakes...but curious as it may seem "Home Alone 3" has not seemed so sloppy as they put it. And at the risk of filling my humble criticism of negative votes I will try to defend, as I can, because it is unnecessary (that is undeniable) third part can be entertaining despite its failures.The story moves away from the McCallister family to present us with a new headline by Alex Pruitt, the new rogue who will pass them on to the bad guys on duty. And it turns out that at the hands of the child comes a toy car with a military chip that high-level thieves want to get at any price. And, as always, Alex will defend his house ... also at the same price. Oh, and it's Scarlett Johansson's sister, almost nothing.Well, when the synopsis is made, the question is: does the movie have fun? Well, in my opinion, of course, as long as you do not have anything better to do, you can enjoy (not laugh out loud, that was in the first two) of this third part. Alex D. Linz I think it plays a good role as a substitute for the original Kevin, I found it funny and nice but it is normal that the shadow of Macaulay is very long. On the other hand this third part has something that improves with respect to his second that no one seems to value: he tries to differentiate himself from the previous ones by putting different situations (Alex is not alone in his house although nobody believes there are thieves lurking) as well as traps totally original Do they make fun? Fair, but the formula is pretty exhausted. But remember that the great evil of his (in my opinion good but somewhat overrated) second part was to be a copy of his predecessor, here does not happen the same, is more original within what fits.For the rest, the film does not give much more than if because, as I said, it is already very seen and it is hard to laugh at something you already know. The family of Alex are quite flat and do not give tender moments but where the film fails miserably is on the subject of the villains. And with better villains, maybe the movie would have been better valued. Now there are not two, but four thieves, but more does not mean better. They are excessively serious and boring, characters identical to each other so their personality is not marked, no doubt you miss the funny Harry and Marv of the first two parts.Finally I will give another reason why I approve this movie: "Home Alone 4". And I have had the "luck" to have seen this insult (not only the saga, but the cinema in general) in the form of a quarter before the third. Given the level of slop that the saga arrives with the 4, I can not but raise a little this third part that is infinitely better.Conclusion, an unnecessary third part but I think you can see, if you do not kill this saga, stay with the first two (especially the original), if you like the tricks of these children, you can give this third party a chance . But stay there, hell really starts from now on.

Home alone 3 is the third film to the home alone franchise with a new kid played by Alex D.Linz. The movie is about 4 criminals who lose a top secret computer chip hidden in a toy remote control car in a airport when the luggage is mixed up and it is taken home by a old lady who gives the toy to a young boy Alex who finds out he has chicken pox and takes a few days off school,the 4 criminals find the chip but first haft to go threw a bunch of booby traps set up by Alex who is sure to save the chip and put the criminals away. Home alone 3 I really thought would be bad but I was so happy with this improvement,the movie received mixed reviews,a lot liked it but a lot hated it. Macaulay Culkin I think was going to return but turned down the role,the movie features lovable Alex D.Linz who is very funny and a good actor who stars in Max Keebles big move which is a awesome film,the film is from the director of scooby doo the movie which I really liked. Home alone 3 once again is a brilliant installment to the home alone series and hopefully the next film will be as good..it won't.

I loved the first two home alone movies. I loved Kevin. Macauley Culkin was very good in them. I loved the burglars, they were hilarious. I heard nothing good about this one so I never bothered watching it. Then a few days ago while I was in class my teacher put it on. No one in my class was laughing. That kid annoyed the hell out of me and that stupid parrot. I hate that parrot so much. He wasn't funny at all. He was probably the worst thing about this movie and that's saying something. I don't agree with animal cruelty but I just wanted to snap that parrots neck. What actors actually read the script and thought " this is funny and it's as good as the first two i'll do it". And why would John Hughes want anything to do with it. Macauley Culkin must have felt so insulted after seeing this. I wonder if Alex D Linz regrets this movie. Just imagine being Alex D Linz and looking back on this.

This was a HUGE mistake. The second movie was a little disappointing, but at least it had the original cast members. I don't know what they were thinking going ahead without McCulkin. I know he refused to come back, but they should have known it would have failed after he refused. It was a ballsy (and stupid) move to try to do a new story. This series was dead. There was no need to revive it. The gags aren't anywhere near as funny either. You'll get what you expect, just less laughs. Alex Linz is pretty bad as the new kid. He lacks McCulkin's charisma and lacks the talent to carry a movie. The only other noteworthy thing about this film is the debut of Scarlett Johansson. If you're a fan of Home Alone, stay away from this movie. Home Alone is one of my favorite movies. This is just crap. The fourth movie is even worse and went STV. Crazily enough, they just released a 5th movie recently (!)3/10
