Home Sweet Home Alone - Movie Review

- We have ourselves another modern cash grab sequel to a beloved legacy classic. This time it's Home Alone! Here's my review of HOME SWEET HOME ALONE!
The Pitch Meeting skit for this movie was gold
The Rotten Tomatoes consensus too
ohhh referencing Pitch Meetings in other youtube film critique channels is TIGHT!
@@mmwedeking "Nobody's Home"
-Rotten Tomatoes, 2k21 😂😂
Just when you thought RT and critics reviews can be right too
@@Zreen001
Not to mention that bringing up Pitch Meetings in another film critic's review is also Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience.
@@TeamCap623 oh really....
I feel bad for Archie Yates. He's so adorable in real life and he was great in Jojo Rabbit. It's a shame he was thrown to a reboot that nobody ask for
I agree and also love your profile picture.
It's hard to believe that's actually him in a crappy movie like this
Hopefully he gets a MUCH better role next time. And a MUCH better agent too.
Yeah i was sad to recognize him on the poster. Jojo Rabbit is a masterpiece.
"They're going to have sex with our dogs!"
Only acceptable Home Alone 3 - Kevin's Revenge.
Marv and Harry have aged and are living together. They have given up the life of crime. One Christmas, they start recieving strange threatening letters. They start noticing little dangerous traps around the house - poisoned toothpaste, nails in carpets. Not fatal, but painful. They realize, Kevin is coming after them for tramuatizing him as a child. Mrs. McCallister, still Kevin's guardian, is trying to find him and stop him from hurting these old
men. Harry and Marv must booby-trap their house to protect themselves from Kevin, who has his own traps set for them.
Home Alone 3: Kevin's Revenge. Hard R-rating.
That actually sounds good yet creepy af
When Kevin becomes Jigsaw.
The Good son is the real home alone 3 NUFF SAID
Set it in an old folks home and you’ve got yourself deal!
_Coming this holiday season…_
*Retirement Home: Alone*
So basically The Collector?
The brick scene saved Home Alone 2. I was actually begging him not to throw another brick. Couldn't breathe from laughter.
Agreed! I once fell out of couch laughing so hard!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I was like "Oh no. He saw it " 😄
That was my reaction too. Lol. I was tempted but I couldn't bring myself to watch it.
I know! I was like, “Noooo! You didn’t have to put yourself through that for us! It would have been nothing we would have demanded!”
I just rewatched the original. Will not subject myself to this abomination.
Do you think right before he hit play he said to himself “this is it! Don’t get scared now.”?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Tillyard86 I think he was thinking, “Well, I never loved myself anyway. And I was looking to put that Lagavulin to good use!”
At least we seemingly get a new Home Alone movie only once a decade now.
my kids hated it...the elf at the ex wives house surprised them with the blue ray last night. now the kids love the movie. go figure, eh? greetings from nova scotia :))
They should just make a new one with Macaulay Culkin, where he's a 40-year-old loner millionaire just watching Netflix at home and some mercenaries try to break in because his nerd friend happened to left a valuable prototype on an SSD drive at his place.
Oh yeah, and they're totally doing these once a decade to retain the rights to the franchise.
Thank you Sir, I was soo close to picking this for a family movie night 🥶🥶
Thats still too much lol
@@absolutely1337 😎original 1990 film is a classic
Since it came out, Klaus is our new go to every year! Such a good one. It only suffers from a single moment of "oh no, they're resorting to this trope again" and besides that, its amazing!
Every Christmas my family watches A Christmas Story and Elf. They’re not perfect or mindblowing, but each film has a distinct, lightning-in-a-bottle charm that we all love during the holidays.
Better Watch Out (2017) is a great example of a movie that’s using the Home Alone formula, but has a dark af twist. Definitely one of my favorite holiday films. It’s worth checking out, just don’t look into the plot. It’ll spoil too much.
I agree that one is a hidden gem. Jeremy should definitely review Better Watch Out!
Oof the paint can scene is brutal
@@SparkleFilms I definitely agree, Jeremy should! Would be fun to see if we could encourage him to
Nice was wondering about that I saw it's streaming free somewhere, Peacock I think. Definitely will check it out now. I also thought of it when he said that.
The Equalizer... Think about it.
I never actually realised John Williams did the original score. That man has an unbelievable resume!
Facts
The movie we watch every holiday season (aside from the classics like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc.) is the Family Man. It's almost that whole "guy who wastes life at work" kinda story, but it really has heart. The coupled with it being one of my dad's favorites, and him having passed away a couple years ago, it is now something I will watch every year. Merry Christmas everyone. Tell your family you love them while you can.
Also, Nicolas Cage!
Home Alone, of course, is the one Christmas movie we HAVE TO watch every year! It wouldn’t be Christmas without it!
Home Alone 2, Die Hard, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause 1 & 2 with Tim Allen, and Jingle All the Way with Arnie are also some of my favourites that I usually watch this time of year! Jingle All the Way I especially have a soft spot for!
What about Elf
@@rob-di7il elf is king
@@carlinytc7431 Elf is king, uh no. Elf is not funnier than National Lampoons and Jingle.
I have die hard and Christmas vacation on Blu-ray steel book along with home alone, and home alone 2 lost in New York, but not on steel book.
'The biggest problem with this movie is I wasn't rooting for anybody."
Sums up most reboots/remakes/sequels of the recent past.
Evil Dead remake was pretty great, Halloween 2018 was awesome, Halloween Kills is awesome if you just root for Michael, Candyman 2021 was awesome, Friday the 13th reboot was awesome and I rooted for Jason.
Scream 2022 also looks like it’s going to be really damn good.
Ghostbusters Afterlife was really great too!
No way home will also be excellent, not a doubt in my mind and if it gets bad reviews, I’m gonna ignore them and love the film anyway. So it’s gonna be excellent no matter what. Same with Scream.
So it’s literally just a personal issue lmao
@@ryanbollinger1759 That's your list? Cool. Here's a brief example of soulless cash grabs and flops:
Ghostbusters 2016, Charlie's Angels, Total Recall, Terminator Dark Fate, Independence Day: Resurgence, The Mummy 2017, Conan 2011, Flatliners 2017, Robocop 2014, Hellboy 2019, M.I.B. International 2019, The Hustle 2019, What Men Want, Robin Hood 2018, Mulan 2020, Ghost in the Shell, Tomb Raider 2018, Shaft 2019, Dumbo, Fantastic 4, Baywatch, X-Men Dark Phoenix, CATS, Space Jam, Power Rangers, Rings 2017, BvS, TMNT, The Predator, Fantastic Beasts, Jurassic World, Ocean's 8, Star Wars Sequel trilogy and Solo, MOTU Netflix show, King Kong.
It seems that you missed what I'm saying. It's not that nobody likes these movies, it's that they don't have the spark of the thing they are rebooting or remaking. Into the Spider-Verse was the best Spider-Man movie since the Raimi ones. The Holland ones are fine, but nothing more than that. Just the same old ground.
@@Ruylopez778 Nah BvS was good it wasn't a cash grab
@@ryanbollinger1759 AHEM I think your missing the matrix resurrections on this list buddy
It’s so so so bad. But thank you for watching it for us! :)
Seriously. The child actor seems so lame
Seriously, we are waiting for matrix revolutions and spiderman no way home instead
Heyyyy it's you! Love your trailers.
@@dynamicdave2647 agreed!
Rise of the guardians is probably my favourite "christmas" movie
Although it may have become super overused and ran constantly these past few years around Christmas, my go to movie has to always be A Christmas Story. Just something about the simple yet cozy nature of the film always brings me joy. Its a super simple story, with somewhat simple characters, but its so effective in my opinion. Practically anyone can relate to at least one of the characters in the movie, and that's something that can sadly be hard to come by in movies nowadays. I really believe this was a family home, and a moment in time for a young boy (the author) just recounting the memory about his favorite Christmas present.
I also found out recently (s/o to Nostalgia Critic) that the author Jean Shepherd voiced older Ralphie in the movie! It makes total sense now and is so inspiring to me as an avid writer and wannabe author of my own someday. It was awesome to hear this info going back and watching the movie now, hearing the excitement, dread, puzzling questions, etc. from the man most passionate about the story, because it's HIS story. It must have been so fun and exciting to do that and makes me wish more movies were done like this from writers of books-turned-movies.
Thank you for the review Jeremy, I always love hearing your opinions on anything you deem worthy of a video. Merry Christmas brother
Another reboot that absolutely no one asked for. Home Alone is a classic, and people will continue to watch it.
Even worse there’s one scene in the movie that talks about how remakes can never live up to the original.
Oh so the movie is aware that its a cashgrab remake
I kinda asked for it. The invention of smartphone kills everything in the original movie. There should really be a good update. One that's better than this one, though.
There is actually a moment in the movie where someone says "Why remake movies, they're never as good as the original." FFS
Except it's actually a sequel cause Buzz is in this film and Kevin is mentioned as well
not a reboot, its a sequel, just like home alone 4. The original buzz mcallister is in it and they mention the Kevin mcallister security company. Buzz talks about how his brother was left home alone.
I laughed so hard in home alone 2 when Marv got shocked into a skeleton 😂 😂 😂
The clown in the shower and gun prank scenes I thought were the funniest
That’s my favorite part !
Yep until right now i still laugh whenever i think that scene in my head
My mom laugh-cries EVERY TIME she sees that scene!!! 🤣🤣🤣
YOU'VE BEEN SMOOCHING WITH EVERYBODY
That “no you haven’t!” At the end killed me 😂😂
Muppets Christmas Carol is easy my favorite for sure. It's got everything you could ever want in a Christmas movie!
Thumbs up for laughing hysterically when Marv is getting pelted with bricks.
i still do to this day, its like the best scene in home alone 2
For me it was the electrocution scene which became an amazing meme
Agreed! I once fell out of couch laughing so hard!
The christmas movie we watch every Christmas is the original home a lone movies. They are so funny, and I'd have to agree with Jeremy for the second one, I always laughed my butt off when Marv gets hit with bricks and then goes "haaaweeee. Haaaweee?" (Harry) 😂😂
That scene and when Marv is electrocuted and turns into a skeleton gets me every year. 🤣
The toolbox going down the stairs puts me in stitches watching all those wrenches n screwdrivers go flying
@@toldaddy omg me and my girlfriend watched this a few days ago and I almost died laughing at that. The effects are so bad that it's good
hehe just by reading your coments make me laugh :)
Agreed! I once fell out of couch laughing so hard!
That "permission to come aboard" at the end 🤣
Beautiful!
If this review was done in separate parts with Jeremy at different stages of drunkeness and slurring by the end I would have died laughing. Your idea of the robbers being good would make a good movie. Might be compared to don't breathe or could be advertised as don't breathe meets omen.
"In this version of Hollywood that we live in, everybody is remaking everything, and rebooting everything,"
"I mean, there's a Home Alone reboot coming out. What's the point? The movie exists, let's just live with the movie that existed"
""I'm a firm believer that you don't remake films that have had the longevity of Home Alone"
-Chris Columbus, the director of the original Home Alone. Even the original director of Home Alone criticized this movie's existence
I mean, who wants their successful movie be associated with shit?
Everyone is a copy of everyone
Sure the director when producing the original movie always had the idea of Macaulay Culkin as the star actor. The original was so good it spawned a sequel which was equally impressive as the 1st. All this was great direction and excellent casting. Any Home Alone after Home Alone 2 is a paycheck playing off nostalgia.
Also my go to Christmas movie are either Die Hard or Jingle all the way.
@@Alrucards My go to Christmas movie is always going to be Gremlins. It was the first movie I saw that haunted me for at least 5 years before I actually realized that those things aren't real. And to this day, its still one of the best movies in my opinion. Next to Toy Soldiers.
@@Alrucards And? he made two good Home Alone movies, the rest he didn't direct nor produced it so he doesn't give a shit about the third till this reboot. He can still relax that he made a masterpiece classic of a christmas movie. He can criticize this movie whatever he wants, his opinions do matter, this is the director of the original Home Alone god dammit and Home Alone 2 which was still pretty good too
Since it came out, Klaus is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Go watch it if you haven’t. The art and animation is stunning, there’s so much heart in the story and characters and it doesn’t have that generic “christmasy” movie recipe.
Yesss I love Klaus!
It really deserves to become a Christmas classic
Just saw it today with my fiancé. Very charming story, although a bit predictable. Animation is gorgeous and is an interesting take on Santa Claus
Klaus is Awesometacular
Thank you! Child me was also in hysterics in the cinema when I went to see Home Alone 2. Sure, on rewatches it lost impact quickly revealing itself to be a transparent reskinning of the first film, but there and then at my age seeing it in the cinema for the first time it felt like the funniest film ever. I have seen the first 20 minutes of 3. I didn't stick with it. I have no idea how many others there are, nor do I care.
The one-story beat of home alone that I think everyone forgot is that of Kevin having a bad day with his family and wishing them gone and essentially getting his wish! If everything was perfect from the get-go, there's nothing for Kevin to learn
Now, Home Alone has become such a formula that every sequel is going to feel more and more derivative and unnecessary. If they truly wanted to give us a new Home Alone movie, sign Macauley Culkin to whatever contract he wants and make it about an adult Kevin McAllister, who has grown up to be the head of a home security business. When his home or business is threatened at Christmas time, he has to break out his old booby traps and improvised weapons to defend it.
Make it rated 15 too. Everyone that grew up on Home Alone is an adult now, let's get some dark jokes thrown in there
@@Nine_Hertz I doubt anyone will be expecting Kevin to be a cute little business man. As long as his fearless, heart-felt character stays in place we'll all be routing for the adult McCallister. Bring it on, I say
And make it rated R
Would be better than what we got....not a perfect movie but it was feel like they at least tried to vive a shift.
U just recasted Paul Blart as Macauley Caulkin lol
Glad to see Yorkie is putting all that experience he got during the battle of Stalingrad to good use.
I’ve been following this channel for like 8 years and this is my all time favorite thumbnail
To answer your question, I have a roster of Holiday movies I watch every single year. My top three are It's a Wonderful Life as I decorate (an over two decade tradition), A Christmas Story marathoning every Christmas on TV, and my all time favorite dating back a decade is The Homecoming with the Waltons and at least four major cast changes from the TV series.
Regarding Home Alone, my favorite moment is from Kevin entering the church to him racing home (a great John Williams music cue) to booby trap his house. If I catch just that one ten minute block of the movie, I'm happy as it contains the heart of the movie. The slapstick at the end never did it for me because of the editing. Comic scenes that would work better in a single shot lose its humor when broken into several different shots.
My dude, do yourself a good Christmas movie with a powerful message: Joyeux Noel. It's an epic war drama depicting the famous Christmas Truce of 1914. The story is told through the eyes of Scottish, French, and German soldiers in this amazing period of history and though it doesn't end on a particularly happy note, you do walk away with a stronger appreciation for the humanity to be found in men in one of the worst and darkest periods of our history as well as a newfound appreciation for the spirit of Christmas. You don't even need to do a review, just watch it man, you owe it to yourself after this...
Better home alone Movie.
Kid let say 10 years old is rich and a super Genius. His dad works at a Mega security company. The kid like to read up on old traps for home invasions and makes models for a Hobby. The kid lost his mom last Christmas and his dad doesn't know how to landed it. To busy work and the knew change. The kid who wants to get his dad attention. Pulls pranks on the nanny and maid service. (These are mostly harmless ones but annoying) The dad and the kid get to a huge fight before the dad leaves to New York for a business meeting. He said he be back for Christmas and hopes his son would learn some responsibility by the time he gets back. The nanny and maid service are paid more to watch him. All though they are mad they have to deal with annoying prankster boy for few days instead of spending time with their family few days before Christmas. The boy has a plan. He gets a extra stash of money and pays them to leave early to spend with their families. The Nanny thinks it over "Well the boy is in a good neighborhood and has the best house security in the country. He should be find for few days. Plus if we stay he will pull more pranks on us". They leave and go with their families. They don't tell the dad being afraid they get fired. The boy plays around in the house. Meanwhile outside the house a block down. A man is watching the house in a van. Another guy comes to the door. "Hay Bill I'm sorry I am late."
Bill: Whatever Darvin, did you read my email.
Darvin: Yeah...well some...the first sentence to meet here.
Bill: ( growd) ok. This is the plan. I going to hack the house main security with the codes I got. It should take 48 hours to be completed. Than we will make our way in the house. Once inside we make it to the vault in his home office.
Darvin: And we become super rich with all his money inside.
Bill: No dummy the money just a bonus. Its the new AI security system I want. With that we could break into any place. We be Unstoppable. That what Jackson (the dad) gets for firing me. I was one of his top computer programmers. But he says I'm greedy and power hungry. Can believe that guy.
Darvin. Yes, Yes I can.
Bill: Just shut up and watch the house. I'm going take a nap.
Inside the house the boy let name Ryan. Starts noticing the house network and appliances isn't working properly. He finds out someone is jamming the system. He starts using his own computer to find the source. He traces the singal outside. Right where the van is. Using binoculars he says a guy in van on his phone. Ryan goes outside and speaks up on the van.
Darvin on the phone: Yeah baby, I'm telling you I'm going to have the money this time. Yep we going rob this big CEO of this security company's house. No, no. It's not like that. My old college roommate. You know the one who help me stay in until I drop out. Yeah he knows the network the Big CEO guys using. Going to go in on Christmas eve night. You have nothing to worry about. Going get your bail money. You shouldn't be in jail in first place. All you did was set your boss car on fire, mean come on.
Ryan: I should call the police. No these guys probably tap the police station too. They will bail the second the call made. I have to do what Dad told me. To take up responsibility. Time to stop these robbers myself.
And from here you know how it goes. Montage of billing traps. The two guys get hit by the traps and we laugh. Cops come at the last second to arrest. Bill swears his revenge. Devin something funny and dumb. We laugh. Dad comes home. Proud of son. Promises be there more for him. Son promise to be better. Happy Christmas the end.
Better movie right.
Or.... You could just watch Die Hard
Watch Die Hard
@@king_vision4085 Yippee kiyay!
Isn’t that just sainsburys advert
To answer the final question, it's a family tradition to put on A Christmas Story every Christmas morning. It's the tried and true, the go-to. That and the old school Grinch animated short film are hands-down my favorites for this time of year.
Thanks, Jeremy for taking the hits we shouldn't.
I had a feeling this would be bad when I heard about it. But then I saw the trailer and I'm like, well maybe not. But at the same time I'm like, "Why are they trying to redo the first movie again?" That's what it looked like to me anyway. So I was on the fence about it. Thanks for the great gift, Jeremy. As for your question of favorite holiday movie, I fall into the camp a lot of people do. Die Hard will always be my Christmas movie. I loved your little outtake at the end. It made me laugh.
This looks better than Home Alone 4 but it just made Home Alone 3 look like a masterpiece.
Yeah Home Alone 3 is way better.
This reboot makes the last 3 Home Alone sequels looked like a masterpiece
Home alone should’ve stopped after lost in New York
5, 4, 3.
In my opinion 2 and 3 is ok.
@@judeconstantine2767 No, 3. The LAST 3 home alone movies. As in 5, 4 and 3.
@@judeconstantine2767 Home Alone 2 is the only sequel that people accepted gratefully. I mean, Donald Trump's cameo tho. The rest are just horrendous
Nah, last 2 Home Alone movies.
3 is perfectly fine even though lack of Ma. Culkin is noticable, 4 and 5 are a huge pile of shite though.
That one minute Google commercial where Macaulay Culkin was reshot in Home Alone as an adult was better than the entirety of all these Home Alone remakes.
Scrooged is a wildly under appreciated gem of a Christmas classic!
The way Jeremy tells us “Merry Christmas” at 7:43 is HILARIOUS to me.
Thanks for taking a beating for us, dude.
😁
I'll be watching Muppet's Christmas Carol this December, because it's great and I can sing along to the excellent music. And then I'll watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Elf, and a few other classics.
I appreciate your sacrifice in spending time on this movie though. I hope you get to enjoy some of your favorite classics from here on out as well, because no one deserves to suffer during the holiday season.
"Tis the season to be jolly and joyous!"
"the love we've found, the love we've found, we carry with us, so we're never quite alone."
This was the first answer I saw and it was literally what I was about to comment!
I need to rewatch the Ed, Edd, n Eddy Christmas special. I forgot to last year.
permission to come aboard! I was loving that you came back after the credits started lol so good, glad I waited.
Always love your reviews. Favorite holiday movies; Love Actually, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Die Hard, It’s a Wonderful Life. Honorable mention: Anna & The Apocalypse (zombie musical)
I did not think Jeremy would ever subject himself to this torture lol.
When you're watching a movie with your girl and she yells at the screen, "Fucking just shoot him and get the damn doll!", you know you've got a keeper.
My Christmas holiday movie that I watch every year is When Harry Met Sally. Love that movie, and even have a DVD signed by director Rob Reiner.
You were already my favorite movie reviewer, and then you pulled out that beautiful lagavulin
I wish they would make a Rated-R Home Alone movie, grown Kevin vs older Harry & Marv using henchman that have no idea what Kevin is capable of as the mouses for his traps that are little more edgy but still play up to the silliness of originals. To finally watch them go at him more smartly and root for them would be hilarious & good fun, plus I would love to hear Joe Pesci and Macaulay Culkin just cuss each other out through all of it lol
It would basically be a SAW movie
Corrider Crew did it.
@@deadli-us yeah, I don’t doubt that the traps wouldn’t get worse than they were in Part 2.
@@deadli-us 🤣😂🤣🤣👀👀👀👀
So Kevin is Jigsaw then
I'd love to see Jeremy Jahns review Klaus, animated Netflix film, absolutely gorgeous visuals and very wholesome morals for a Christmas movie.
Impractical Jokers reference. You're a good man Jeremy, a good man. I've always known it, but this confirms it
My favourite Christmas movies are hands down “The Polar Express”, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” and “A Christmas Carol”, the Jim Carrey one.
Honestly didn’t expect to see Jeremy review this one 😅
It seems like he needs new content which is movies that he needs to trash it on so he chose this instead 😂
Gotta fill up that Top Ten Worst Movies of 2020-21 lol
Probably needs to fill the worst countdown list.
Fun fact: the director of this movie is literally on film during a interview saying he NEVER saw the original movie and actually got annoyed his daughter would watch it multiple times …. I’m not kidding
He also directed the Borat movies if that helps support this
@@Milmiskew i think any subpar fan of the original could’ve made a 100 times better movie. This proving my theory that people in high places don’t know more but just have more luck
Seriously? So he probably did this for paycheck. Infact the budget for this movie is $18 million. That budget could've just given to A24 or other indie studio and have them make like 10 awesome indie movies, instead we get this.......
Wait really?
@@harrismatthew5553 can you send a link?
Thanks for taking the hit for me Jeremy!! You're a good man!!
Haha the impractical jokers reference was hilarious. “Guess it’s working”
Still waiting on a Home Alone where Kevin fights the Predator.
The big problem I have with this movie is that the "villains", Pam and Jeff are too sympathetic... and the main "protagonist", Max, is not relatable enough for us to be rooting for him. Pam and Jeff only want their doll back, which they need in order to sell it for money just so that their kids will have a place to live... as a result, I find it hard to laugh at them when they are suffering through Max's traps, since I feel like they weren't as deserving of the pain and torture they got compared to the Wet Bandits or the terrorists or any other villains from previous Home Alone movies. We spend so much more time with the McKenzies, resulting in Max being a character with basically no character development whatsoever, making him bland throughout the whole film. I guess Disney wanted to make the message of the film to be more about "family", but the fact that we had to watch two parents that just wanted to save their house get tortured makes it feel like the message got half-assed and lost somewhere along the line...
It's because they hate nuclear families and straight relationships (JK, but that might be a part of it, LOL).
This was actually a really entertaining review
The first 2 Home Alone movies are a couple of my favorite movies ever. Absolute classics. The new ones make me so depressed.
“Dear Hollywood, please think of an original idea.” - signed, America
Signed the world.
America? How very American of you to only think of America. XD
The rest of the world exists you know
"Dear America, you don't see original ideas and only give us money when it's a remake or a reboot. You've done this to yourselves." -signed, Hollywood
I can't think of one time, not one, where Jeremy has ever had a thumbnail with booze in hand and it was a great movie he enjoyed. Ever the honest man
Your “Permission to Come Aboard” impression was Awesometacular!
Thanks for taking one for the team. You do a great service.
So funny story with this movie: I was just chilling in my room playing some Halo Infinite like an good man does nowadays when my mom asks if I wanna join in watching “Home Alone” and I’m like “hell yeah, that’s a timeless classic I could watch every year”....sit down and the opening credits roll and to my absolute demise I see the title for this pile of dog crap pop and felt a betrayal deep in my soul. Like good ole Saint Nick came down, slapped me silly, and told me there’s never gonna be anymore happiness in my life. The movie was that bad
That's awful man. I'm so sorry. I hope the hole you dig for your mom goes deep enough to the circle of hell reserved for mutineers and betrayers 🤣
Ouch!
If they really want to make a "good" nostalgic Home Alone movie, they need to bring Macaulay Culkin back to play the dad. Have him be extra careful when leaving for the airport and getting on the plane to go where they're going on vacation and have him almost leave his one kid behind, but end up getting him last moment and maybe during the plane ride, tell his son the story of what happened to him in the original and inform him that he would never let the same thing happen to his kid, blah blah blah.
Then brief vacation montages, then heading home in a rush, and end up leaving the kid wherever they vacationed to. The vacation would take place right before Christmas with the idea of getting home in time for Christmas.
Have hints in the background about a bad snow storm heading to the area. TV, word of mouth, etc.
During the vacation, the kid remembers something about the mall, or something at the mall, not sure, but he ends up at this large place, but they close up for the night and he gets locked inside for the night of Christmas eve.
Bad snow storm comes in, phone lines go down. Kid is now trapped inside the mall, and a group of criminals break into said mall. Instead of two idiots, now you're dealing with a squad of goons. But get this, Kevin's kid (or maybe kids, as in twins? Possibly?) are not completely alone in the mall. There's two security guards on duty that night that also get stuck in the mall for the night. And it's a couple of old guys that are none other than Harold Lime and Marvin Merchants. Because of the line of bad luck being criminals all those years ago, they decided to go straight, but couldn't get any Job other than overnight security at this random mall. So instead of being the bad guys, they help Kevin's kid(s) survive the night by watching the cameras and communicating with the kids and so forth on how to get around the mall and set traps.
Then have them react in some funny way at the end when they find out those were Kevin's kids when reunited with him.
That's the Home Alone movie I would watch! Lol.
(Sorry about the long comment and in depth description of a movie that literally just came to mind as I was typing this all out. 😂)
And Hollywood can't come up with that kind of idea.
That's a great idea.
Bland and generic. Though i guess its better than this movie
So Home Alone meets Paul Blart...
How about no more home alone movies?
thanks for jumping on that grenade.the holiday movies I have to watch every year are the claymation Rudolph, and A Christmas Story.
Jeremy: My idea for the movie is far superior
The Suits: *WE'RE NOT INTO THE SUPERIOR MOVIE BUSINESS, ONLY $$$$*
My go to Christmas Movie, without fail, has always been and will always be Die Hard. Such a great movie about a man trying to overcome all kinds of insane obsticals to reconnect with his family on Christmas Eve.
Die hard isn't a Christmas movie. Its just set at Christmas.
@@oldgregg86. you're arguing semantics. you could say that about any "christmas" movie.
@@oldgregg86. There are those who know Die Hard is a Christmas movie and there are those we pray for.

A Christmas Story every fucking year, all fucking day on Christmas is a must.
Hopefully you're referring to the original movie and not that godawful musical
@@nealmcbealthenavysealicall794 I didn't even know that existed, man.
Does TBS still do that?
@@williamcorey4700 Awe fuck yeah, bud!
@@BeaseGaming ever since I bought the DVD of it I no longer needed to watch tbs. I still watch Patrick Stewart's Chrismas Carol every year. I can't find that on dvd
"Die Hard"+ "Less Than Zero"= fave Christmas movies.
Lagavulin 16 is my favorite Scotch! It's been sold out in my city for a few months now. Wanted to grab a bottle for my birthday/celebrate getting a new job. Hopefully soon. The 8 is still fantastic though. Good taste in movies and Scotch. Cheers!
The only Home Alone sequel I want is one featuring the return of Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern but this time it takes place on the night of The Purge.
There’s always Fan fiction.
I did see this movie as I'm a fan of the actress that played the mother (who went to Tokyo), because she often is a guest on British panel shows. She's an Irish stand-up comedian/actress, and hearing her not speak her native tongue was really weird.
The one thing about this movie I liked, was them bringing Buzz back and him talking about how Kevin pranks him each Christmas by pretending some kid was left home alone.
Wait, Aisling uses an American accent? I might have to see that.
@@SquiresIsle No, a (bad) British accent.
How did she and Ellie Kemper get involved in this?
@@nour2146 My guess: a handsome paycheck.
Thanks for spoiling the only good part of the movie lol. Cameos are important.
My list of Christmas movie that I watch every year are as follows. A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Home Alone 1 & 2, Die Hard (yes Die Hard), Scrooged, Grinch, Christmas Clause 1-3, Elf, Jingle all the Way, Its a Wonderful Life, and some others. Merry Christmas Jeremy and to everyone.
The thing I never knew I needed, Jeremy in his robe, drinking , ragging a movie
I legit thought there was only two films in this franchise and only watched the first one, it was good wholesome fun with cartoony violence. My personal favorite christmas movie is Bob Clark's magnum opus A Christmas Story, a film filled with so much nostalgia, humour and heart that it's become a staple for many others and i. A close second is A Charlie Brown christmas with it's Jazzy soundtrack and again wholesome message.
@@ryansmith-jr4gn I was young enough at the time to probably enjoy the film, but old enough to acquire a taste for other genres of film primarily indie and studio horror/exploitation films wwith a sprinkling of Art house and foreign market thus it simply didn't register on my radar. I will check it out though to see if it holds up.
@@ryansmith-jr4gn I watched the original, and a bit of the one where he was in New York. I'm guessing that wasn't the second one?
I’d love to see Jeremy review the original Home Alone!
One of Jeremy’s best reviews yet
Jeremy turned into the Drinker with the whiskey for this movie.😆
"HARRY, I'VE REACHED THE TOP!"
THAT is one of my favorite scenes of all time. Anyone trying too hard to re-create that hilarity of a slap-stick home-invasion movie just gets a shake of the head from me. -_-
They should've just CGI macaulay's head into a child's body. That'd be more entertaining
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is a must watch ever December for me. Love watching it, reminds me of when I would watch it with my parents growing up.
It’s one of those movies you can never recreate because at the time things were different. There was more creativity and classic in there
I mean, not sure you could beat it, but you could they could have at least made it half decent!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation ALL DAY LONG!!! Funniest, most enjoyable, great acting, I LOVE this movie and watch every single year! You should do a review of it. For fun XD
To be honest, most of this movie really missed the mark for me too, especially speeding past the proper emotional development that made the first few Home Alones classics, and its comedy is far from as funny as it thinks it is. But I have to admit the concept of rooting for the bandits was actually fascinatingly new, and the ending where the kid and the intruders were able to forgive and help one another actually put me in a good mood. I still don't overall recommend it, but I think it's much better than the last two direct-to-DVD films at least.
Home Alone, Jingle All the Way, The Santa Clause, and the classic claymation films... Those are christmas movies I can always rewatch (and Die Hard, can't forget that lol).
Must watch Christmas films every year are: The Grinch, Jingle All The Way, and Die Hard
Can’t believe you watched this haha you deserve a medal! The first two home alones are classics and the rest shouldn’t exist, my fave Christmas movie is Nightmare before Christmas
2:00 - 2:46 You know Jeremy, you might want to try 2016's "Better Watch Out" if you haven't watched it yet. Not one to one with your description, but would definitely be up that alley. It is also a Christmas type movie.
I thought for sure he was going to mention 'better watch out' but he never did and it is literally what he was describing.
I immediately thought of Better Watch Out and went back to check whether Jeremy's already reviewed it. I'm not sure he's ever talked about it.
National lampoons Christmas vacation and Christmas with the cranks are 2 of my favourites !!
Jahns had a cool idea.
Kid comes back from store and finds thieves looking for MacGuffin in house. Kid can't prep traps but must improvise and go thru vents like Solid Snake.
Oh God, that's just Die Hard. Its even Christmas.
“Have you seen it…… NO YOU HAVEN’T” never change Jeremy. You’re funny af
I watch The Muppets Christmas Carol and A Muppet Family Christmas every year, they are wonderful movies that always put in the Christmas Spirit.
Muppets Christmas carol is one of my favorites no matter how old I get
The brick scene from Home Alone 2 is still an all-time bust out laughing scene to me 30 yrs later
Once I fell out of couch laughing so hard!
Thanks for taking one for the team. Hope you will recover swiftly :)
The budget for this movie is $18 million. That budget could've just given to A24 or other indie studio and have them make like 10 awesome indie movies, instead we get this.......
Shame on you, Hollywood!
3:23 Not gonna lie, my cousin and I had that same experience with that part of the film when we were younger as well. Probably the hardest I've ever laughed! Good times
Also, with Buzz being in it thinking it was a prank call from Kevin, THAT was a missed opportunity for a cameo from Kevin making a prank call.
For Christmas This Year, and on behalf of all CZcams viewers watching at home or at work...can we get a review of the original awsometacular Home Alone...Thanks for the honor of providing us movie goers with your entertainment, humor and insight on movies past and present throughout the years and especially through the MCU and The DCU movie eras
