Hilarious hijinks of epic proportions ensue, but despite the absolute chaos, Max comes to realize that there really is no place like home sweet home. With a ridiculous story and an obnoxious main character who's harder to root for than the "villains," Home Sweet Home Alone is no fun for the whole family. The charisma of Macaulay Culkin matched with the intelligent script by John Hughes makes this the definitive holiday story that it is, appealing to all ages.
Stupid, poorly acted, and poorly written, Home Alone 3 has got to be the worst installment in the series. Sure it was better than the 4th one, but that doesn't say much. It had it's funny moments here and there, so that's why I give it 1 1/2 stars.

There are no featured reviews for Home Sweet Home Alone because the movie has not released yet (). Its endearing story and a charming performance by Culkin make Home Alone a standout among the usual holiday movie fare. This still holds up and is pretty funny despite the bad parenting.
It's another script to add to John Hughes's wonderful career and helps in his contention as one of the greatest screenwriters ever. Few could find the balance of dramatic themes and flat out humor the way he could. Culkin is impressive at such a young age and Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci have always been able to make me chuckle in this movie. The slapstick gets a little too much during the climax, ranging from stupid to flat out ridiculous with the traps Kevin sets up for the burglars.
Audience Reviews for Home Alone 3
Great script by John Hughes and full of slapstick greatness by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Verified reviews are considered more trustworthy by fellow moviegoers. Gosh, this is real bad, only watched it because of Lenny Von Dohlen. The choice of songs were bad, acting was bad, plot was bad, script was bad, camera work was bad, trap design was bad, actors looked bad. Nothing good came out of this film, a pure time waster. A mischievous 8-year-old is accidentally left behind in a frenzied rush to the airport for a family holiday in Paris.
Will he convince us thatLost In New Yorkis more masterpiece than miss? This is the movie as a kid that proved to me that laughter is great medicine. I was pretty sick the day my dad took me to see this in the theaters and walked out of the theater feeling much better.
About Audience Score
I'm fine with the ice on the steps or even the tar on the steps, but things like the zipline and blowtorch to the head make me shake my head a bit. Complaints aside, this is a solid holiday film that I've enjoyed since I first saw it in theaters as a young kid over 20 years ago. Stay up-to-date on all the latest Rotten Tomatoes news!

Home Alone 2 is basically the same thing as the original but still hillarious. Instead, he's stranded in the big apple by himself, along with the same likable villains that we all know and love.
After learning to fend for himself, the boy has to protect his house against two bumbling burglars who are planning to rob it. Was moving the action to Manhattan and upping the "ow"-factor enough to justify a second Home Alone movie? We're tossing bricks and taking names in the latest ep of our podcast. Loses a little of what the first one had because the story was so focused on the house but as the story moves to New York City, the scope is much bigger. Still watchable and many funny parts, ya filthy animal.

Still, the film's beginning shows some cleverness in setting up a new, original home alone situation, but it quickly devolves into garbage. But basically watching it a bunch of times doesn't make it funny anymore. For the 25th anniversary of the movie, we mostly saw the movie again. It became exactly an overrated Christmas comedy as we most likely saw it again. I respect this movie in one way, but for the other way...
When individual episodes have scores, they will influence the final season score. Home Alone 3 steers clear of the mistakes of the previous films, and makes all new ones. Whereas 2 went too dark and violent, 3 goes too cartoonish and slapstick. Where the first film thought small, with just a pair of common burglars, 3 goes big, with a team of international terrorists.
A lot of people love Home Alone around the holidays but I love Home Alone year round. When it's going somewhere, Home Alone is quite funny. But Hughes and Columbus hung too much on the scene-setting slight idea; the film brings too much baggage, and the trip seems much too long. Still highly entertaining despite Kevin's family being very problematic. Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci brought some great comedy to their scenes.

It makes me feel said how John Hughes would write a movie like this one. Looks like hollywood really did sold him out during this time. Roger Ebert was wrong about this one saying, "it's better than the first two." To me, it just sounded rediculous.
