Forewarned and forearmed as I was, why did I actually like “Home Alone 3”? It was partly because of little Alex Linz, who has a genuinely sweet smile on his face as he watches his traps demolish the bad guys.
#Home alone full movie 3 movie#
I know the formula, and so does the movie (written, like the first two, by John Hughes). As I observed in my review of “Home Alone,” these are the kinds of traps that any 8-year-old could devise, if he had a budget of tens of thousands of dollars and the assistance of a crew of movie special-effects people. He rigs elaborate booby traps, just like in the first two movies, and the last 45 minutes consist of nonstop pratfalls as the bad guys fall for every last trap.
(Why they never spot Alex up there is the kind of question you're not supposed to ask.) After he calls the cops twice but no burglars are found, Alex realizes it's up to him. They use walkie-talkies, computer programs, surveillance vans, a fake baby buggy and other props in order to be as inefficient and conspicuous as possible, and of course Alex, using his telescope from an attic window, spots them. This is going to a lot of extra trouble, in my opinion. Hess and have four hours on board to search for the bag, but somehow they fail to find it and end up deciding to burglarize every house on little Alex's block. Four spies fly to Chicago on the same plane with Mrs. A spy ring has stolen a computer chip, and because of an exchange of identical bags at the San Francisco airport, the toy truck containing the chip has ended up at Mrs. The subplot has already been set into motion. Hess across the street and dialing 911 as a fallback position. So he's left home alone, with a beeper number, a fax number, a cell phone number, the number of Mrs. His dad is out of town on business, his mom has an emergency at the office, and his brother and sister are at school. Linz, who seems almost too small for a middle initial, the kid gets the chicken pox.
Played by a winning newcomer named Alex D. There is even a better rationale for why the hero is left home alone.
