I always appreciated the third film because it branched off a bit from the usual cookie-cutter plot of the previous two Home Alone films, but this one stuck to simplicity.

However it just isn't a great movie nor does it add ANYTHING to the Home Alone franchise. Home Alone 3 (1997) 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: The Holiday Heist does try, a lot more than the dreadful Home Alone 4 did. He isn't bad, but with these sequels you can't help but compare to the best of the best. Oh and like every other who tried to match him, The child actor in this one is no where close to Macaulay Culkin and his performance in the original films. It was a weird dynamic between her and the rest of the family. The mother is written as just some over-hyper super bitch, who doesn't seem to give a damn about her kids most of the time. I did not like some of the acting from the family, and I did not like the direction they took with some of the characters. His sister is locked in the basement downstairs after trapping herself in the walk in vault where the expensive painting is. Malcolm McDowell, Debi Mazar and Eddie Steeples are terrific as the bumbling criminals.
In fact, I found the most enjoyable parts where when the three thieves were on- screen. I liked the location shots of the creepy old house, and I really liked the villains in this film.
Finn discovers their plan, and in true Home Alone fashion, sets up numerous booby traps that will no doubt lead to some bruised and battered bad guys. Meanwhile, there are three thieves who want to break in to the house and try to retrieve a very expensive painting. The young Baxter child named Finn is left home alone (with his sister.) while his parents go off to some fancy Christmas party. In this sequel, the Baxter family moves into a creepy old house in which people believe may be haunted. The Home Alone franchise pumps out a fifth attempt at recapturing what the first two managed to achieve.
