I'm pretty divided on this one. On one hand, I love that dark atmosphere you mentioned (and the guy who plays the cab driver is great, not sure who he is). But the ending where he goes on TV and does that monologue or song or whatever is one of the most painfully awkward, forced moments I've ever seen in a film.
And Ebert is not without his faults. He called Home Alone 3 the best of the Home Alones

oh derp, turns out the guy who plays the ghost of christmas past is none other than the frontman for the New York Dolls
