Technically Home Alone 3 wasn't my first film of 2012, it was my final film of 2011 but, either way, it's a piece of shit. Directed without a feeling for that all important ingredient comic timing, or any display of common sense for that matter, by The Smurfs Raja Gosnell it's a belated, cheap, tired cash-in of a franchise that clearly doesn't work without any talent in front or behind the camera. And when I say no talent that includes the cast of nobodies, the made-for-TV crew and the bastard kid they found to replace Culkin.
The big surprise is that original producer, legendary John Hughes, still wrote this turd. But let's not forget he was pooping out dirty nuggets like Dennis, Curly Sue and Babies Day Out until late into his career so it isn't that much of a shock.
