literally no one remembers Home Alone 3

Ironically, I'm pretty sure this is the only Home Alone movie I ever saw as a kid. I distinctly remember the toy car, and the cranky lady neighbor who loved sourdough bread, and the parrot. I remember thinking it was hilarious when the parrot said "don't come in I'm naked." Truly the pinnacle of child humor

I actually think the message of Home Alone 3 is similar to the first two. The kid’s family underestimates him but it turns out he’s smart and brave. Also, Alex ends up having a touching moment with the mean neighbor the way Kevin did with the old man and the pigeon lady. Finally, unlike the first two movies it is believable that a mom would leave her sick son at home to go to work for a few hours instead of forgetting him on a family vacation.

I actually really like this one. I think people forget it is mostly because it came after the legendary first two, and went with a new family. It still had effort, comedy, a functional story (stupid, yes, but functional for a comedy), ingenuity and good actors.

The third one is actually pretty enjoyable. It has the most traps out of any home alone movie and the kid playing Alex did a pretty good job with what he was given with

Out of all the ones that don't have Maculay Culkin, I think this one is my favorite. It's the only one that actually feels like it has stakes

Alex was not taken seriously, took it upon himself to thwart the baddies, and got vindicated. The theme totally worked for me as a kid. The “reunion” is emotional because his mom just realized he’s in danger half way through her absence, and because she wants to apologize for not believing her kid.

Honestly this was not a bad film. There's movie magic because the story is being told through the eyes of a kid, but in a kid's movie, I don't see anything wrong with that. The storyline made sense once the details came together, and the movie held its weight in comedy. In the end, I think it is not as loved in the trilogy because people who remembered Home Alone 1-2 had a strong connection to the original characters (especially Kevin).

No one remembers it? Nah, I remember it all too well. I watched all Home Alone series in daycare and 3 is real awesome.

Something i did always enjoy about this movie is how it felt like the stakes were being raised every time. First movie is a kid by himself defending his own home from burglars. Second movie is that same kid by himself in a place completely foreign to him, fighting off those same burglars who found out he was there and wanted revenge. Higher stakes because Kevin is now a priority for Marv and Harry. In Home Alone 3, it's a completely different nightmare scenario for a child. Arguably worse than having no adults to help, having plenty of adults who just flat out do not believe you. And this time it's double the enemies and they're also on a whole different level of skill compared to the Wet Bandits. ... At least they are until a child recreates a Saw movie

I actually enjoyed Home Alone 3. The whole international criminal subplot was actually what I liked about it. This kid is doing his thing trying to catch these bad guys, and they are literally hunting him to get a device that can destroy the world. Haha

I remember this one and honestly prefer it over 2. I liked the change in the formula and it honestly felt more realistic then the OG or 2. Having 2 working parent's with a sick child resulting in leaving him home alone for short periods, and Alex actually going to the cops before deciding to deal with things on his own

Literally everyone remembers Home Alone 3. Actually had a better plot and cuter kid, but nostalgia gets the best of us.

I love the 3rd Home Alone. In the 1st two, Kevin learns how important family is, but his family, more specifically his extended family, are still mean to him in the end. In home alone 3, Alex's family realized he was telling the truth and actually apologized for doubting him.

The simplicity of home alone 1 is what makes it a brilliant movie and christmas favourite.

I remember this movie a lot and actually wasn’t that bad. It’s a part of my childhood.

I grew up watching the first three movies and this one actually was and still is my favorite. As a kid I just found the characters more likable, the villains where scarier, the bird was comedy gold and it was even more action packed, which made it even more fun.

I always liked Home Alone 3. I think it’s underrated. The first two films were special, but I appreciate they tried to do something different, instead of reinventing the first film 50 or more times. (Home Alone: Lost in London? Home Alone: Lost in Hong Kong? You get the idea.) One thing that might have been better: I used to get one or two of the male spies mixed up as a kid, and I never had to worry about that with Marv and Harry. If the spies had been just a little more varied and interesting, maybe it would’ve been more memorable.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I actually really enjoy this movie. It certainly has a different feel from the first two movies, doesn't have the heart that they do, and definitely not as grounded as them (Well as grounded as you can say the first two are anyways). I just find this a fun movie to watch. It probably helps that I watched it as a kid of course. I am extremely surprised to hear that the third one was also written/produced by John Hughes. Maybe it taking place in Chicago should have clued me in?

One thing that always stuck out to me was Mrs. Hess, even though she had a distain for Alex. She still cared about him, in a brief blink and you’ll miss it moment, when she’s being interrogated by the terrorists, she doesn’t give up Alex, and then when they find out he has it, her visible worry is very apparent, that she doesn’t want any harm to come of Alex. Which is why their bond at the end feels nice, took a near tragedy for her to express her love for him. Even when I was a kid, I noticed that.

I absolutely loved Home Alone 3 and it’s actually my favorite of the series. I didn’t see the other Home Alones until years later so I had nothing to compare it to but it still lives in my heart as my favorite. 😊
