Home Alone 3 (1997) Movie Review

Home Alone 3 (1997) Review

Oh God, this series should have ended with the second movie but he got a third one, just to milk another couple of bucks from the people. The movie is fun, I give them that, but it's to cartoonish. The characters are underdeveloped, especially the villains, and the plot is ridiculous. The kid, Alex D. Linz, is doing a good job filling the shoes for Macaulay Culkin and they added a few different things to try and make this movie stand on it's own and it works, almost. John Hughes remain to produce and write the script for the movie and that was a good thing. The script has some issues, some jokes fall flat and some of the lines don't sound right, but it's funny. If you are a kid, you are going to love this movie. Another negative point for the movie is that that action does not take place on Christmas, in takes place in January. Raja Gosnell directed this movie and he didn't do a good job. Overall, some chuckles cannot save this movie from failure. Some moments are funny but the jokes are not good, the script has issues, it is poorly directed and it is another nail in the coffin for the series. The last two nails come with the last two movies. Also, we are introduced to the young and future Black Widdow. 3/10
