The first time I saw this movie was in the cinema, then on a special TV showing. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this comedy; it has a great story, convincing performances, and lots of hilarious scenes.

A film that will forever be remembered as a classic of children's comedy. A very innovative Christmas movie that conveys a beautiful message.

A quintessential watch for the family, "Home Alone 3" is a lively film with its blend of whimsy and absurdly humorous plot that guarantees laughter. Of course, watching it alone also perfect for lifting your spirits and unwinding any tension.

"Home Alone" isn't all ho-ho-ho; it's got layers! Each viewer, deep down probably went through a phase of being that forgotten child.

Little kid goes big

Great acting, amazing writing, fantastic directing. The fact that the story revolves around a kid and it's still interesting for adults shows an exceptional behind the scenes work.

A classic

A family entertainment film that obviously cannot be asked for much more. Which hides a whole reflection on loneliness, under the gaze of a child who will soon understand that true happiness comes from being with the most loved ones, that loneliness, no matter how attractive it may seem at times, is not good. A film that has not lost its charm and is, in my opinion, one probably the best Christmas family movie.

Perfect choice for Christmas

A plain house becomes a battle field among Kevin McCallister and a couple of thieves. With humor and a lot of mischief, this movie shows us the funniest side of staying home.

Perfect for a Christmas morning

A film full of sweetness and humor. Everything is outstanding, from performances to soundtrack. It can either be moving with its beautiful family story or amusing with its set of accurate Christmas antics.
