      @BOBBIE-KEN first of all, you didn't give a legit reason other than you liked it. Second, it sucks. Every sequel after 2 is awful. 3 isn't as bad as the ones that followed but it still sucks. You only like it because you grew up with it and that's not a good enough reason to argue it's a good movie. It's not. The kid doesn't have any of the charisma that Macauly Culkin had, the villains have no personality, the slapstick isn't impressive, the acting is bad, it lacks the heart of the first two movies and it's very forgettable by comparison. Sorry, but there is no part 3, it doesn't exist. Only the first two movies matter and are legitimately good.

    Everyone might hate this movie but I love it because it’s darker and more hard Edge than the first two movies. Home Alone 1 & 2 copycatted off each other and where not very original so Home Alone 3 did something knew featuring 3 villains from Miami Vice as well as a sexy newcomer Rya Kihlstedt this movie also features future Black Widow Star Scarlet Johansson.
    Me being a clever movie editor I say this movie is connected to the other movies Kevin used to babysit Alex and he is the only person he told about Harry and Marv and that’s what motivated Alex to defend his home from these thieves.
    I wrote a sequel putting the two main kids together Kevin and Alex I called it HOME ALONE WITNESSES PROTECTION The 4 villains team up with Harry and Marv to eliminate Kevin who is now a chief engineer for a toy company who stumbles upon toys being disguised as bombs with enough power to destroy a building and even a city. Soon threats are made to Kevin’s family and relatives and then when a hit on his wife and kids fails he is forced to go into witnesses protection and leave his family behind. While there he finds out he will be joined by Alex who is also a Target. They are put into a million Dollar Smart Safe House with over 50 rooms but when the baddies find them they rig all 50 rooms with goodies and traps that might just stop these guys once and for all.
    YES it is a Christmas movie
    Yes Kevin and Alex will befriend a mysterious outsider who will be there ally and Yes Kevin will finally face his two biggest enemies.

      Woody Allen’s recent films - though a few have been great - will never match the classics he made in the 70s and 80s. And the simple reason for this is that the most interesting character Woody Allen ever created was “Woody Allen”, and nobody has ever played that part better then him. If you’re not interested in that, there are other movies for you.

    I understand why they did not like Home Alone 1 and 2 for continuity reasons but Ebert’s argument on Home Alone 3 is bullshit. There was no “getting it right this time” on the movie. The booby trap scenes were just more unrealistic and for me not even funny. Just gets boring. I have a feeling Ebert was paid off by the producers to praise them for this movie.
