Description:
A band of international crooks has hidden a military computer chip inside a toy car, but an airport mix-up lands it in the hands of whiz-kid Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) who's home alone with the chicken pox in a quiet Chicago suburb. When the criminals zero in on Alex's house with their high-tech gadgetry, madness and mayhem kick into high gear as the pint-sized hero defends himself against the bumbling bad guys -armed with an outrageous array of ambushes and booby traps!
Amazon.com:
Here's a perfect movie for kids, who never seem to tire of John Hughes's sure-fire slapstick formula. Working yet another variation on his mammoth 1990 hit, writer-producer Hughes (regarded by many as Hollywood's antichrist) strands a youngster in his own home with the chicken pox in this 1997 retelling. While his parents go to work, he sees a team of burglars invading the neighborhood houses; in fact, they're spies, looking for a toy containing a stolen microchip. The inevitability of the finale--one kid holding off four professionals with toys and garden tools--will do nothing to lessen the amusement of youngsters, who love to see the bad guys get creamed. Adults may pause at the sadistic nature of some of Hughes's pranks, but kids will eat up the image of one of their own outwitting all the adults. --Marshall Fine

Home Alone 3
Arrived timely and this is a very funny good family movie. I watch it several times a week
Rating:  - Home Alone should have been left alone
I'll admit that I loved the first two Home Alone movies. They had a certain charm to them given the silliness of the story. This third installment oozes with something else other than charm. Everything that was great about the first two HA movies is absent from this movie. Not to mention that the story is much different than the first two.

Rating:  - Forced humor, at best
I understand why they had to use a new actor for this movie... the original is in his 20's! But they could have changed a couple other things while they were at it. It was predictable and not very original. Sure, my kids and I laughed where we were supposed to, but it was just a rehash of the previous 2 Home Alone movies.
Rating:  - Uhhh
I'll admit it, the first time I saw this movie I was mad that Macaulay Culkin was not featured, but that changed quickly.
The movie was different than the first two because Kevin (or Alex in this one) was not left home for a long amount of time, he was just a Latchkey Kid. On top of that, the mom even without knowing became "aquainted" with the bad guys (because they moved in down the street!!). Ha, I really enjoyed that part!
You can see this movie is different and more entertaining ... Read More
Rating: - Funny Movie
I enjoyed the first two home alone movie. However, I liked the third one the best because it had more excitement and booby traps. The only thing I disliked was the nude picture they stuck in there and wasn't necessary. Otherwise, it was a good & funny movie.
