Producer-screenwriter John Hughes scores the "Home Alone" hat trick with this second sequel to the slapstick blockbuster, which now finds savvy school-ager Alex under siege by spies while quarantined at home with the chickenpox. Due to an airport mix-up, the spies' super-secret computer chip finds its way to Alex's quiet, tree-lined street, and only he can prevent its rightful owners from ransacking his house. [More]

Reviews for Home Alone 3
It's nothing more than unadulterated slapstick, and slapstick is pretty much critic-proof.
The third time is definitely not a charm for this recycled ruse of cartoonish high jinks involving another rambunctious rascal up to no good. Pointless and ponderous.
further proof --as if any were needed-- that John Hughes-scripted movies are now a thing to be feared instead of anticipated, as they might have been ten years ago during his 'Breakfast Club'/'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'/'Pretty in Pink' heyday.
Until the next stupid movie that nobody wants to review comes along, this is Coal Dog. Courage.
