Staying home alone is definitely a better idea than seeing Home Alone 3.

It's nothing more than unadulterated slapstick, and slapstick is pretty much critic-proof.

The third time is definitely not a charm for this recycled ruse of cartoonish high jinks involving another rambunctious rascal up to no good. Pointless and ponderous.
