Home Alone 3 - Nostalgia Critic

[@joyunicycle]

Fun fact: Roger Ebert liked Home Alone 3 better than the first movie, even saying it's not as violent (he must have missed the lawn mower trap scene).

[@harrisonho8934]

I actually thought Home Alone 3 was just as, if not more violent, than Home Alone 2. Not only because of the aforementioned lawnmower scene, but also because of electrocution, falling down several floors, having wardrobe fall on you, as well as a barbell, etc. Heck, some traps were even more or less taken from the second film! I wonder why Roger Ebert thought that this movie wasn't violent.

[@MattHall2003]

That trap wasn’t even funny. It was just... brutal.

[@DisorientedWanderer]

What i want to know is, how did he motorize a manual push mower? Pretty sure that's a push mower. It looks identical to the old ass rusted one my parents got.

[@tjjordan4207]

Because it wasn't as violent? This is the same guy who liked the Mad Max films and also Robocop (to some extent).

[@xanzibar5374]

It did lead us to one of his greatest debates with Siskel, who hated it. Ebert also didn't like the 1989 Batman, while Siskel loved it. Another great contrast, Ebert hated Eight Crazy Nights, Roeper liked it. Personally I like Eight Crazy Nights. It's a guilty pleasure, with some fantastic animation. It's the same animators who did The Iron Giant.@@tjjordan4207

[@brandonchapman4532]

Dude, this reaction was a genuine surprse to me! This was my very FIRST home alone film I watched as a kid in the late 2000s. Looking back now I did see it as inferior to the original home alone, but I still remember it.

[@jackmack4181]

To me this had the most insane traps

[@afterdinnercreations936]

Home Alone 3, the directorial-debut of Raja Gosnell. The man behind the live-action Smurfs AND the live-action Scooby-Doo movies, Big Momma's House, Beverly Hills Chihuahua...

[@DisorientedWanderer]

God, no more please. I can't get any more flaccid.

[@IAmInfinitus208]

Some of John Hughes' writing decay is noticeable in the mid-90s from what I understand began after John Candy's passing since Hughes was so close and loved working with him. Hughes sadly became so depressed since and it shows through his writing being just cash grabs afterwards.

[@jonathanwallis3300]

That’s just very depressing to tell you the truth. 😢

[@emmettobrien1698]

North (1994) is actually Scarlett Johansson’s feature film debut

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

I agree with what Doug says about the lack of realism in this movie, as well as some of his criticisms in general, but he neglected that this movie franchise never had any realism. The first movie featured a kid being left home while his whole family went on vacation and going on to outsmart a pair of career criminals and rigging his house with so many traps that people can easily imagine him growing up to be Jigsaw. Not to mention the burglars from the first two films would've been killed several times over from the damage inflicted by those traps. I'm not saying this movie is amazing, or even as good as either of the first two, but it IS continuing the same pattern that the first two movies established IMO. What this film lost was the feeling that the family the kid had was loving, and the extremely over the top humorous reactions of the people falling into the traps. The lack of both these things definitely hurt the film, but not to the extent that it's completely awful IMO.

[@jake9565270]

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying these traps, although as violence as they are, they’re not getting the appropriate impact, nor the right reactions of these characters. The dude in the glue shoe bucket keeps making the same goofy face, even when falling down the stairs. The reactions from the wet bandits were over the top, but reacted appropriately, and thus made it look like they actually hurt. There is never a sense of pain from these four criminals.

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@jake9565270I had mixed feelings about the third movie… it was nice having a new story and new characters but the villains were far fetched

[@SkorpionDoorman]

3's definitely not as good as 1 or 2 but its still watchable and has its own charm. I cannot, however, say the same about 4, The Holiday Heist, or Home Sweet Home Alone. You can just look at them and know immediately that they were souless attempts to cash in on the franchise. At least with 3 you can tell there was at least A soul in it.

[@nickdorenkamp959]

This was the first movie that i heard of the song Home Again by Oingo Boingo which surprisingly enough I didn't know was Danny Elfman's band (and yes its the same one who's done almost all of Tim Burton's movies and interestingly enough John Hughes' and Les Mayfield's Flubber.).
