Home Alone 3 (Widescreen Edition) [DVD]

It isn't Macaulay Culkin flick and doesn't pretend to be. It was FAR better than I expected. If you looking for a movie LIKE the first Home Alone, this is a good one to watch.

Great holiday movie

Of course each Home Alone has a place in your heart,but this is my favorite!The kid is adorable,the humor is a little corny but I enjoy that,AND there's some legit creepy moments when you realize the severity of these professional killers trying to get into the house, with NOBODY believing the kid even after he calls the police twice!Everyone in my family chimed out "You LIKE that one?!", lolA computerchip is being smuggled out of the country by a quartet of criminals, it's hidden in a toy car that eventually goes to the main hero whom is home sick with the chicken pox.The criminals have to enter each house looking for the toy car, with an interesting point made;"This is the suburbs, nobody's home during the day."Even after Alex spots them from his telescope, calls the police, TWICE, nobody believes him.Once they figure out who called the police on them, they prepare to hit his house next...But his house hits back!

I have to agree with Roger Ebert in saying I liked "Home Alone 3" a little better than the originals. I think what sells this movie for me is Alex D. Linz is more likable than Macaulay Culkin. He seems more like a real 8-year-old. Besides, Culkin would have been 15 or 16 at the time this was filmed, so he was well past the age a kid couldn't be left "home alone." His younger brother, Kieran, who played Fuller in the first films, was also too old. The plot and the villains of HA3 seem more realistic too, at least in the fantasy, slapstick world they live in. HA3 gets bogged down with too many villains, though. Two is enough, possibly 3 but not 4. The standout villain is Alice Ribbons, playing Rya Kihlstedt (why such complicated character names?) HA3 lacks the sentimental, holiday "message" as well as the sophisticated score John Williams delivered in the originals, but this is really a movie made to appeal to pre-high schoolers. I think their mistake was marketing this as a sequel with none of the original cast. My vote would have gone to bringing back Catherine O'Hara in the role of the neighbor lady Mrs. Hess. At the end of the day, all 3 films are enjoyable, escapist fun. The cartoon violence may be too extreme for younger kids.

Purchased this for my grandson and he loves it.

I loved every part of the movie. It was so nicely taken and Alex in Alex characater acted so well. He being a little boy of just 8 years old has shown a very cute yet mature acting skills in this movie. I watched it 3 times in 2 days. and bravo and kudos to the director John Hughes. He became one of my favorites. I watched this movie again and again to see the cute smile and acting by Alex. Loved it overall :)

From the picture I thought I was getting both movies but it’s only home alone 3, not taking back the house

Love this movie. Watched more than 10 times

I would just like to say before I review the movie, that the movie does not need macaulay culkin to be great. I remember watching this as a young child and just simply enjoying the slapstick jokes and the cleverness of one little kid. It's such an enjoyable film for all ages and the 'pranks' are really clever. Forget that it's a Home Alone film and forget about Macaulay Culkin and it really is a superb film, family fun for all!
