Four high-tech industrial spies are trying to smuggle out a top secret military microchip to North Korea. A mixup at airport security leaves Mrs. Hess with the microchip hidden in a remote control car. After Alex shovels Mrs. Hesses' driveway, she gives him the car as payment.
And I wasn't the biggest fan of Kevin anyway, but this everyone has to admit or rather see. More advanced traps and failings or whatever you want to call them ... Though I reckon the people it hits are the most deserving ones yet. I have not seen part 4 & 5 yet, but do not hold your breath for me to do so soon. This had a very young Black Widow - sorry I mean Scarlett Johannson in it. Watching it, one wishes she would have been the main character instead ...

No offense to the kid playing the main role instead. The thieves finally deduce that Alex has been watching them and decide to break into his house. Alex rigs the house with booby traps with help from his pet rat Doris and his brother's loud-mouthed parrot. Beaupre, Alice, Jernigan and Unger break in, spring the traps, and suffer various injuries. While the four pursue Alex around the house, he flees and rescues Mrs. Hess, who has been duct taped to a chair in her garage by Alice.
Now Alex must fend off the spies as they try break into his house to get it back. Alex Pruitt, an 8-year-old boy living in Chicago, must fend off international spies who seek a top-secret computer chip in his toy car. Home Alone 3 is an English movie released on 12 December, 1997. The movie is directed by Raja Gosnell and featured Alex D. Linz and Scarlett Johansson as lead characters. Crazy to say the least - and the kid as good as the actor himself is, is not as charismatic as Culkin ...

The negatives are that some of the violence, that was classic in the first two films, seemed to have been reduced to cartoon slapstick. Another problem was that I didn't recognise any of the characters, and the uneven script didn't allow them to develop properly. Also, I do miss the antics of the Wet Bandits, the new villains weren't as effective.
Beaupre offers a cracker in exchange for silence, but the parrot demands two. Since Beaupre has only one, the parrot then lights the fireworks and flees. Eight-year-old Alex Pruitt is given the remote control car by Mrs. Hess for shoveling her driveway. He returns home and discovers that he has chickenpox and must stay out of school. The next day, Alex discovers the thieves while spying on his neighbors.

The spies have tracked the chip to Alex's neighborhood, and faces off against Alex who is home sick with the chicken pox. 9-year-old Alex Pruitt is home alone with the chicken pox. Turns out, due to a mix-up among nefarious spies, Alex was given a toy car concealing a top-secret microchip.
The film does look lovely, and there is evidence of some detailed direction. Believe me, this film is much better than the vomitous Home Alone 4. I don't think the film is as bad as the rating suggests, but it does pale in comparison to the first two films, which are holiday classics to me!
Meanwhile, FBI agents and Chicago PD officers arrive at Alex's siblings' school after a tipoff from the recruitment center. Alex's family brings the agents and the police to their house, where they arrest Alice, Jernigan, and Unger. However, Beaupre hides in the snow fort in the backyard. The parrot drives the remote control car into the fort and threatens to light fireworks, which are lined around the inside.
Beaupre ambushes Alex, but the latter uses a bubble gun resembling a Glock to scare him off. I like the cat and mouse game, but the premise is way too serious. And the movie doesn't have as much whimsy as the previous two.
There were some bits I liked, but some bits where improvements would have been appreciated.
It is an American crime comedy movie. Macaulay Culkin, who was in the last two movies, as Kevin McCallister, was too old for this movie. The movie instead features a different household and villains. The director was Raja Gosnell, who was the editor of both original movies and the star actor was Alex D. Linz as Alex D. Pruitt. It was released on December 12, 1997 by 20th Century Fox. The movie grossed $79,082,515 worldwide.
The bad guys are real bad guys, not the silly Wet Bandits. Internet Archive's in-browser video player requires JavaScript to be enabled. It appears your browser does not have it turned on. Please see your browser settings for this feature. Fox Family Films was the division of 20th Century Fox responsible for the production on the film. The positives are that Alex D Linz makes a cute and charming lead, though Macaulay Culkin is definitely better.
