What to Know

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.

Bob Thomas Associated Press [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. Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Mike Clark USA Today Twice the bad guys, half the laughs. Rated: 1/4 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) No surprises here as far as the plot, just changes in casting keep this sequel lively. Rated: B- Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Angie Errigo Radio Times There are some genuine laughs, and not too much saccharin or cartoon-style brutality.

Patrick F The movie only works if you are four years old. Doesn't feel like a Christmas Movie at all. The gags are forced, the humor doesn't land. Nothing like Home Alone 1 and 2. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Taha S You must separate the first two from this one as it's a great entertaining family movie. Have watched numerous times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Amir A I thought I was gonna hate this even more than I thought I would but it's not super bad like don't get me wrong it doesn't live up to the Kevin McCallister Duology But It's Not A Dunpster-Fire. Just a Mediocre Movie Made For Kids. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review carolina d Home Alone 3, mostra que o primeiro e inesquecível Home Alone é um filme que não precisa de continuações desnecessárias. Home Alone 3, como seu antecessor, não tem capacidade para, como o primeiro filme, se tornar um clássico. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Joshua Y And to think this is better than Home Alone 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 just shows you how bad the franchise has gotten Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review jowell this movie was trash! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
