Siskel & Ebert (1997): Wag The Dog, Home Alone 3, Deconstructing Harry & Scream 2 

I love siskels reaction to roger at 6:45. 😅

I respect Roger for giving his true opinion and not saying what people want to hear.

"(Home Alone 3) is not as violent as the second one." I guess you missed the part where the kid activated a lawnmower and sent it onto the burglars, shocks them, throws a fully loaded trunk and flower pots on them.

6:19 "Oh No" Siskel knew Ebert was gonna say something wild just because of that Starship Troopers dig lol. Edit: Siskel genuinely looked like Ebert shot his dog throughout that part.

I feel like Ebert was trolling the audience and Siskel in saying he liked Home Alone 3 more than the first two. Wow.

“Dumbbells Keep Falling on My Head”

Ebert giving home alone 3 a thumbs up and siskel's reaction is definitely in my top 5 siskel ebert moments of all time lmao.

"Generic mop top" 😂 💀

I love it when one of them gives thumbs up to a movie most critics hated.

Looked like Ebert giving thumbs up to Home Alone 3 was the final nail in Siskel's coffin. Looked like he had a stroke.

Arguing about the “Minute Lice” joke. Another reason why I loved these guys! 😂

Deconstructing Harry is a HILARIOUS film.

6:27 sums it up. Part three was a low-rent version of the first two.

Rip Anne Hesche, may you find true peace

I love gene reaction when ebert gave a thumbs up to home alone 3

So many great movies in the 90's. Just watch this show week by week on YT and you'll find there's something good on a weekly basis.

One of Ebert's biggest blunders here.,, and Starship Troopers is good also

I’m with Gene. What was in Home Alone 3 that wasn’t already in the first two?

Ebert sure was crazy. Home Alone 1 & 2 were way better than 3

Home Alone 3 at least has the scene when the lady's pants split

Wag the Dog 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ & a half out of 4 Home Alone 3 👎⭐️ For Richer or Poorer 👎 ⭐️⭐️ Scream 2 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ & a half out of 4

Wag the Dog is one of the Best Films of 1997 and one of Dustin Hoffman's Greatest Performances since Tootsie - I have watched it at least 30 times since 1997 Huge Fan of Deconstructing Harry - it gets better every time I see it - Just Davis is Great as Always

Not gonna lie, but I actually do like Home Alone 3, lol. I acknowledge that both Culkin films are much better. I have a fond memory of watching it with two of my three sisters, and we rewound the part where the dude was electrocuted over and over again.

Roger’s review of Home Alone 3 would make me think twice before buying his book that they plug at the end. Gene’s wordless reactions during that review were hilarious.

Roger liked HOME ALONE 3 and didn't like STARSHIP TROOPERS. Boy, he was in a real slump.

ebert must have been trolling lol

Wag the Dog was clearly a documentary

When Gene says "I really don't like those burglars", I wonder if he's referring to Marv letting out that hysterical yell when the pigeons are on him. For me that scream was very unpleasant sounding. But a lot of people got a kick out of it including the pigeon lady herself

Thinking Home Alone 3 is a better movie than the original should put you on some kind of watchlist

RIP Kirstie Ally and Anne Hesch!

I loved Home Alone 3

Roger Ebert thinks that Home Alone 3 is better than the original Home Alone. That's quite a controversial opinion.

Roger nailed the idea that stereotypes are part of comedy, something people don't seem to understand.

Wow, this is a crazy good episode for the diversity of impactful 90s cinema! Roger and Gene didn't know how good they had it!!

Deconstructing Harry was a terrific comeback of Woody Allen to the greatness

I cant believe Ebert prefers Home Alone 3 to the first two holiday classics. First, these "crooks" are supposed to be super spies or something. How silly can you get?? Harry and Marv were perfect villains for an 8 year old boy.

Wag the Dog - 👍🏾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Home Alone 3 - 👎🏾 ⭐️ For Richer or Poorer - 👎🏾 ⭐️⭐️ Deconstructing Harry - 👍🏾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scream 2 - 👍🏾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

i wonder what plot of home alone 3 was before culkin pesci n stern turned it down i know after culkin said no pesci n stern were asked to still come back but both dident want too

Everyone might hate this movie but I love it because it’s darker and more hard Edge than the first two movies. Home Alone 1 & 2 copycatted off each other and where not very original so Home Alone 3 did something knew featuring 3 villains from Miami Vice as well as a sexy newcomer Rya Kihlstedt this movie also features future Black Widow Star Scarlet Johansson. Me being a clever movie editor I say this movie is connected to the other movies Kevin used to babysit Alex and he is the only person he told about Harry and Marv and that’s what motivated Alex to defend his home from these thieves. I wrote a sequel putting the two main kids together Kevin and Alex I called it HOME ALONE WITNESSES PROTECTION The 4 villains team up with Harry and Marv to eliminate Kevin who is now a chief engineer for a toy company who stumbles upon toys being disguised as bombs with enough power to destroy a building and even a city. Soon threats are made to Kevin’s family and relatives and then when a hit on his wife and kids fails he is forced to go into witnesses protection and leave his family behind. While there he finds out he will be joined by Alex who is also a Target. They are put into a million Dollar Smart Safe House with over 50 rooms but when the baddies find them they rig all 50 rooms with goodies and traps that might just stop these guys once and for all. YES it is a Christmas movie Yes Kevin and Alex will befriend a mysterious outsider who will be there ally and Yes Kevin will finally face his two biggest enemies.

DECONSTRUCTING HARRY was a knock on Phillip Roth---NOT about Woody, no one ever got that.

This has to be one of the last fiery arguments the two had on the show.

There was Witness 2!?! I thought that was the 'Witness 2' with tongue in its cheek

Home Alone 3 is totally unnecessary since Home Alone 2 felt like a satisfying ending to the franchise.

Kingpin isn’t rated R, it’s PG-13…I love that they were the only critics that championed that film though, I loved it too

How could Ebert POSSIBLY get the Home Alone movies so backwards. Saying the 3rd one was empowering for kids? So were the first two..... especially the original.

Ebert liked HA3 and didn’t like Starship Troopers. Honestly this is why you should never rely on critics.

I think North is a better movie than Home Alone 3.

My reviews: out of 5I 1 " Wag the Dog " 3 out of 5 2 " Home Alone 3 " 1.5 out of 5 3 " For Richer or Poorer " 2.5 out of 5 4 " Deconstructing Harry " 2.5 out of 5 5 " Scream 2 " 3 out of 5

Don't get me wrong, i like Culkin & couple of his films like MY GIRL & UNCLE BUCK because he's talented kid but i really like HOME ALONE 3 because it's fun, funny, less violence & smart plot 👍👍🌟🌟🌟. Scream 2 is just as good as the original, only straight satire & gorier 👍👍🌟🌟🌟. Wag the dog is terrific inspire satire comedy 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

What they should have done in Home Alone 3 was keep the original cast and this time Uncle Frank and Leslie leave Fuller home alone accidentally while leaving for Chicago to visit Peter and Kate.

20:40 R? I thought Kingpin was PG-13.

The moment i lost respect for Roger elbert 😅

4:39

wow..... Ebert gave a thumbs-down to DIE HARD too..... I have lost all respect I had for him. 🙄

Worst roger ebert take ever

Even the greats can be wrong, Home Alone 3 is a terrible movie and I think Roger would even admit if he was alive today that he made a mistake. Deconstructing Harry isn't going to remembered as a great Woody Allen movie but it's still pretty good and I agree with them on Scream 2 being a very good movie but I disagree with Gene on it being better than the first.

Woody Allen films would be so much more palatable without Woody Allen.

I would usually “respectfully” disagree with Siskel and Ebert on movie that I liked but they didn’t. I understand why they did not like Home Alone 1 and 2 for continuity reasons but Ebert’s argument on Home Alone 3 is bullshit. There was no “getting it right this time” on the movie. The booby trap scenes were just more unrealistic and for me not even funny. Just gets boring. I have a feeling Ebert was paid off by the producers to praise them for this movie.

Siskel by this point had brain cancer but I'm more concerned for Ebert I get not liking Home Alone 2 it was just more of the same but the first one was already a holiday classic by this point. Home Alone 3 is a terrible movie.

The first two were decent, but Home Alone 3 was terrible.

Generic mop top lol

Wag The Dog was so fuckin good its scary.
