Changes the whole home alone story
I first liked this movie when I first saw it but now when I think about this, this movie totally ruins the home alone sequence. Here are some examples.
1) The movie has nothing to do with Kevin McCallister or any relationship with the first 2 movies. So just because it has a kid setting traps like the first 2, is this really considered a sequel? because sequels usually have relationships to its previous films and this one didn't.
2) The bad guys in the movie are not crooks like Marve and Harry. These guys happen to be a group of masterminds and computer geniuses that are not wanted by the police but instead the FBI.
3) It has a very bizzare plot. The reason why the criminals are here is because of luggage mixup. It was kind of stupid too because there bag was behind someones luggage and but comes out of the x-ray machine first and was identical to another bag. And not only that, how could the lady who took their bag by accident have not realized it was the wrong bag. It took the criminals less then 10 seconds to realize they had the wrong luggage. They need their bag because it had a toy car that they hid a missil chip inside of that they need.
4) The new hero, Alex (Alex d. Linz from Max Keeble's big Move) isn't staying home alone because his family went on vacation and forgot him but because he has chicken and stays home from school and his parents have to go work.
5) An 8 year old boy takes out 4 supergeniouses. Lets just take a minute to think WHAT IS UP WITH THAT???????? I know in the first 2 we have an 8 year old boy taking out criminals but those guys were morons. Where dealing with people who have mini camers on their singlasses and intercept phone calls. These guys are wanted by the FBI and they are dumb enough to get trapped by a little kid. One trap where Alex put yarn and a wire together and hooking to a cord making it electrical. The guy was sp stupid into cutting the wire, why didn't he just walk around it?

I agree with another rviewer that this movie shouldn't have been called home alone. It had nothing to do with the original and brought us a totally different storyline. It is like Halloween 3. I'll admit this movie is kind of funny but becomes boring later. This is one product that I recommend not to get but if you do intend on watching this movie then rent it. But if you still like then go ahead and buy this movie because this is only what I think. There many of other people who would say this is there favorite movie. I'm just not one of them. It's your desicion, do what you want to do. If you see other reviews that convince you to buy this then go ahead. These are just my thoughts.

Best of the bunch
I liked Home Alone. I loved Home Alone 2. I didn't think anything could possibly top the sight of Tim Curry on his knees telling a fictitious hotel patron that 'he loved him'.
Boy, was I wrong.
Many people seem to have taken issue with Home Alone 3 because it does not follow on directly from the 2nd film in the series. Really, is that such a huge deal? If anything, it's what made this movie work. They didn't try to make another 'Kevin' story, but went for something totally different, just using the same plot - David vs. Goliath in a house of horrors that David set up.
And as for trashing Alex D. Linz in the role, please.... At least this child could act. My biggest gripe with the first two Home Alone movies was that Macauly Culkin constantly sounded like he was reading his lines straight out of the script, rather than something that was rehearsed.
But back to the story. The premise of this tale is that four criminal masterminds have obtained a stolen chip, with the intention of selling it to a mega-rich (mega-dangerous) buyer.
Through a totally plausible mix up at the airport, the chip (which is hidden inside a remote controlled toy car) ends up in the hands of an elderly lady. The crooks chase her all the way back to Chicago to try and recover the chip and save their own rear ends.
This is another factor which worked well for the movie. Whereas with the first two films, it was funny because Harry and Marv were such an obvious pair of morons. The four crims in HA3 are supposed to be smart, which makes it so much more delicious when Alex makes idiots of them.
The hero of the story, Alex, is by himself not through any family holiday mix-ups, but rather because he has chicken pox, and both parents have to work. Like Kevin McAllister, Alex is portrayed as being rather hard done by as far as his family goes. He's the butt of endless jokes and tormenting by his older brother and sister, and when he begins reporting the suspicious activity going on his neighbourhood, no one will believe him.
Hence, he decides eventually to take matters into his own hands, find out just what is going on and do something about it.
There are some absolutely hilarious scenes in this film. Particularly the scene when Alex sends the car with a video camera taped to the top to try and get evidence to prove he is not lying.
And the inevitable confrontations in the end with the crooks have to be seen to be believed.
The best parts to watch for are firstly the incident with the mouse and the iron bar. If you thought Marv's screams in Home Alone 2 (when the pigeons were attacking them) were hysterical, then this one surpasses all possible expectations. Who would have thought a grown man was capable of hitting such a perfect high note...?
And secondly, the parrot is a complete crack-up. Watch for the shower scene, it's the best.
Like the first two movies, this has the standard little-boy-makes-friends-with-aloof-and-outcast-neighbour ploy. The plot is basically the same in all three movies, but the introduction of a completely new cast has done wonders.
This film is not the disaster that some would have you believe, and if you enjoyed the first two Home Alone movies, then it's hard to imagine that you wouldn't like the 3rd installment. Just do yourself a big favour, see it for yourself and make up your own mind. Because it really is worth it.

This one just ruined the whole entire series
the series would have been fine if they wouldn't have made this one. it's not even close to what 1 and 2 were! and what now? they made a 4th one?! i don't know about you guys but i thought the movie sucked big time. they could have put Macaulay Culkin in this one! he only would have been about 11 or 12 if he would have played in it.
