Critic Reviews

  • Joly Herman, Common Sense Media

    Formulaic movie draws some laughs from pratfalls.

  • Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

    Until the next stupid movie that nobody wants to review comes along, this is Coal Dog. Courage.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    A refreshing, bubbly follow-on

  • Frank Ochieng, TheWorldJournal.com

    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.

  • David Luty, Film Journal International

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

    Really not good at all, now that Macaulay Culkin is gone from the cast (ahem, outgrown the movies). They really should have stopped making HOME ALONE movies after this, but instead, they decided to just make a "TV movie" sequel.

  • Jim C


    Sucked

  • AJ V


    The last of the Home Alone series, and it goes and changes all the actors. We seriously didn't need this movie, it's practically a remake of the original.
