The traps are boring, stupid, unoriginal, and lazily made, because most of them are built into the mansion, and the other traps that Kevin actually builds are improvised.He also looks and acts more and even dresses like his original partner Harry in this film, rather than acting like his dim-witted self in the first two films, to the point where the viewers could easily confuse Marv as Harry in this film. Marv is much less dim-witted in this film than in the first two films but has less personality than in the said films.And also, how he left Natalie in tears in the ending was kind of mean-spirited. Peter went from a kind and selfless man to someone who would reject his entire family over a rich girl, as well as not believing in Kevin when he tells him about the burglars, though he did apologize to Kevin for not believing him.If Jeff and Linnie appeared in this film, the same could've probably been said about them as well. The same can be said towards Megan (though in the first two movies, Megan is nicer to Kevin unlike in this movie). Buzz went from a mean older brother, but with a well-done personality, to a one-dimensional jerk to Kevin, where how mean he was to Kevin was completely exaggerated compared to the first two films and is basically very mean to Kevin for no reason at all.In fact, when Kevin complains about the way they treat him, she responds by saying "It's tough being the youngest". Kate is a lot more neglectful towards Kevin than she was in the first two films, as she shows no sympathy for the way Buzz and Megan treat him, and she doesn't punish them for being mean to Kevin.

However, Kevin was the least flanderized of all of the flanderized characters in this film, as the other characters here have dealt with worse flanderizations. He would also never tell his parents once about the burglars in the said films, though in this film, he tells his father about Marv and Vera.
