Fans Are Still Arguing About Home Alone 3, 26 Years Later
After the McCallisters found Kevin again in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, a third installment was released five years later. However, there was no Macaulay Culkin or even the McCallister family in general. Instead, a new character, eight-year-old Alex, was the boy to defend his home from criminals. It’s been 26 years since Home Alone 3 came out, and audiences are still arguing about it.

This resulted in a new plot involving a boy with chicken pox defending his home from international criminals pursuing a microchip that’s accidentally in his possession. As we enter the holiday season, Bustle reported about X users debating the praiseworthiness of this third installment. One fan declared their love of the third movie.
“Y’all are going to put some respect on Home Alone 3. This was quality content!”
Home Alone 3 brought heightened entertainment with Alex’s more extreme and humorous traps compared to the first two films. Examples include getting hit in the groin by a spring-loaded boxing glove, landing in a frozen swimming pool, electrocution, falling three stories down a dumbwaiter, and more. Another fan has their own theory of why people hate the John Hughes-written film.

Fans of the previous two Home Alone movies may not have enjoyed this one without the original cast of characters. But, there are plenty who enjoy the film for what it is.
On the other hand, not everyone was happy with the third Home Alone movie. Some would even go as far as to call it the worst Home Alone sequel, such as this one X
