Home Alone 3

DIRECTED BY: Raja Gosnell

REVIEWED: 12-22-97

Sometimes, when awakened in the middle of the night, as if by an unpleasant dream, even though no dream is remembered, we will stare upwards, unable to move or to reach for the light or to make a sound, in spite of the darkness and the sense that something which is not frightening has in some way scared us. If the bed is otherwise empty, the house devoid of company, then there's no one to turn to for solace, no one to whom we can say, "I don't know what it is; nor could I explain it if I did know. I only know that what I am was felt to be in jeopardy, or perhaps beyond that, unredeemable, irretrievable, even undone and never made." On nights such as these, when even our souls threaten to abandon us, we can truly, and with deepest sensibility, say that we are Home Alone. So take the kids because this is a slam-bang adventure where a single, scrappy lad with Rube Goldberg's inventiveness and Errol Flynn's panache manages to repeatedly thwart, humiliate, and thrash the kookiest gang of international criminals this side of the IRA!!!
