the first home alone be a decent enough film . the sequel be pretty much the same and at a new setting . this one try to be original and and succeed to some degree . of course and the formula be basically the same and so it like watch the same movie for a third time with slightly alter plot . the new score be quite bad ( though the new setting trap piece be and if nothing else and interesting and different ) and especially compare to the grand score of the first and and the almost but not quite a good score of the second . it ( almost ) make up for it by use some pretty good non original music and but it just not the same . the plot be fair and and somewhat original to the franchise and but it still basically the same movie a the first two and with bad acting and a less impressive example of the cary character turn out to be good . the acting be mostly unimpressive . the character be mostly caricature . the new thief be less entertaining than the old one ( and they make fun of spy stuff and which be almost criminal and give the limited amount of good spy flick there be and and how precious few of them be cool ) . the fact that there be more of them ( and thereby more trap ) be just a weak attempt at try to go one high than the first two film . and it doesn not work . the idea behind the thief and their mission be a tad too . adult and serious for a child film ( and there be a sexual joke or two and though that isn not the first time in the series ) . it also unnecessarily complex and a be the plot in general . i could follow it and but i doubt a kid could . some of the exposition be deliver so obviously that even child may find it stupid . the animal stuff be generally not amuse . there be few sibling and which should mean that those there be get develop more and but they have less personality than the least featured of those of the first two film . all in all and just not particularly good and or worth watching and unless you really love watch criminal get hurt in cartoon y violence . i recommend this to huge fan of the series only . negative .
