Scarlett Johansson Movie:

Editorial Review:
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 [Region 2] Reviews:
Absolutely terrible
2009-12-11 - What's good about this second sequel to Home Alone? Well, the cinematography is good, and the snow looks nice. And that's about it. Everything else about this movie is excruciatingly awful! Home Alone 3 lacks the charm, wit, and warmth that the first two movies had. First of all, the plot is just ridiculous. It's about the same as the original, but this time, the government is involved! Yeah, it's just plain silly. Second, the booby traps are a bit creative, but really, how could a little kid come up with stuff like this? The main character from the first two films didn't create traps as complex as this. So why how does THIS kid know when to hit the mark? Third, if these villains are professionals, then why do they have a hard time defeating the kid?! I know it's only a family film, but these villains have to at least act like grownups and, of course, have a BRAIN! And fourth, this movie as a whole is just not funny. There are only two jokes that work; the rest would make the entire room silent with anger and boredom. But whatever. Just watch the first two Home Alone films. This one just doesn't do them justice.

Grade: D (only because of the cinematography)

Taken it too far!
2009-03-12 - I love the first two Home Alone movies. They're classics! This one and the 4th one just completely kill the series! The acting is terrible, it isn't funny and you'd think they would at least make the story tie into the last one. They make one reference to the first two and it isn't even funny. I don't recommend this to anyone!

Goodbye Kevin, Hello Alex!!!
2008-12-19 - This sequel is very different than the original two! It's not bad, but you have to be open-minded. Four criminals hide a computer chip in a toy car. At the Airport, they lose it and Miss Hess takes it to her home in Chicago. They need to search every house in order to find it. Miss Hess gives the toy car to Alex Pruitt. When Alex sees the criminals searching homes, he calls the police, but they arrive too late. When no one believes him, and his mom leaves him at home, alone, he starts setting up the traps to stop the bad guys! They are very awesome traps! He receives help from his brother's parrot, and his mouse, Dorris. I highly recommend HOME ALONE 3!!!

New "Kevin" has absolutely no presence
2008-12-06 - In a movie, you need the main character to have kind of magnetic presence. The new "Kevin McCallister", played by Alex Linz, doesn't have it. Sure, the storyline isn't all that bad, but he simply couldn't handle the role. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a movie worse than this, to be fair. When you have a lead actor that can't handle a part and brings nothing to the table, you're in for a disastrous 90 min film. There's nothing more to say, other than, wow, very, very bad.
