Linz sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Home Alone 3 is worth clearing space for. Home Alone 3 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. 9-year-old Alex Pruitt is home alone with the chicken pox. Turns out, due to a mix-up among nefarious spies, Alex was given a toy car concealing a top-secret microchip. Now Alex must fend off the spies as they try to break into his house to get it back. Alex D. Linz and Olek Krupa lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Home Alone 3 came out in 1997. What keeps Home Alone 3 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Home Alone 3. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Alex D. Linz sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
