It's nothing more than unadulterated slapstick, and slapstick is pretty much critic-proof.

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.

Reviews for Home Alone 3
Until the next stupid movie that nobody wants to review comes along, this is Coal Dog. Courage.
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.
