Four thieves stole a top-secret computer chip from the U.S. Defense Department. They carry the chip hidden in a toy-car, but accidentally the car is misplaced and carried to a very mismatched place: suburb of Chicago.
Everybody should know the plot. Even though you have not seen previous two "Home Alone"s, you can easily imagine how the film is like. You know, it is a John Hughes film! a smart kid vs. stupid criminals. The film for family use only.



Flying Lenny :)

 
I enjoyed the film pretty much - of course,it is because that Lenny was in it. He played one of those thieves, Burton Jernigan. In the earlier part of the film, apparently Jernigan is the most stylish character among the thieves. He is tall, looks serious and handsome in his black coat.  After that, he slips on a frozen road, sits on a hand-made electric chair, hits his most private part by a bat, has beautiful hair-cut by a lawnmower, and jumps off from the third floor of the kid's house into a frozen pool.

I usually think Lenny has extraordinary talents for portraying a very sensitive person who has a violent struggle within himself, like Harold Smith. So I had been afraid that the "Home Alone 3" would be very mismatched film for him. However, after seeing it, well, I think he did a very good job in the film. He let us know that he can be fit into any roles in any films.
