Critics Consensus

Macaulay Culkin's precocious charisma is sorely missed in this hollow sequel, which doubles down on the broad comedy while lacking all the hallmarks that made the original a classic.

[John Hughes] figures he didn't need any surprises: Just take the blueprint for the first of the series and slip it in the copying machine.

To my astonishment, I liked the third Home Alone movie better than the first two; I'm even going so far as to recommend it, although not to grownups unless they are having a very silly day.

3/5

This slapstick schtick is slickly delivered and for a well-worn plot, the fun is airy and the stunts at the expense of the bad guys are often very funny.

B-

No surprises here as far as the plot, just changes in casting keep this sequel lively.

There are some genuine laughs, and not too much saccharin or cartoon-style brutality.

Eu não entendo por que muita gente torce o nariz pra esse filme. É por que não tem Macaulay Culkin? O filme é divertido mesmo assim e Alex D. Linz tem carisma quanto tem o Culkin. O filme é muito divertido e foi o último filme da franquia a ser "bom".
