NUT SHOT
Just here to say that i haven’t watched the video yet and am hoping desperately that this comment will make more sense after having done so
Edit: I somehow forgot the nature of the Home Alone movies. When you say nut shot, you mean nut shot.
I lost so many brain cells watching this movie
Thanks so much for this review, I can't believe that they roped so many talented actors into this disaster!

I like your username ☺️
I hope the kid playing the main character doesn't get hate for this. He was wonderful in Jojo Rabbit.
He's so damn loveable in Jojo Rabbit that no one can hate him
And in real life he seems adorable and a nice kid. I don't like throwing shit at child actors cuz they're still kids and can't handle such criticisms from the internet (remember what happened to Jake Lloyd?) I can't blame him entirely, the script and the direction made his performance look bad so it's definitely not his fault. He doesn't deserved the hate he gets for this movie
The good thing is that people know everything is on the director since we´ve seen him before
Agreed, Archie seems really sweet in real life, and I wouldn't want this film to break his entire career, especially while he's still so young.
@@15Candles yeah Jake Lloyd got crap for no reason, the performance/script weren't even that bad
The biggest mistake they've made was making the kid a jerk and the burglars the heroes of the movie. You can remake home alone. It's no fun watching good people getting tortue with traps. It works in the first one and the second one cause they are general terrible people trying to kill a kid and steal from his family so you enjoy them getting tortue by the traps
Also controversial but Kevin wasn’t a problem in the original movie, he just stood up for himself against his older brother and his uncle and mom were like “wow that’s so uncool of you”
100%!! I cannot wrap my head around how no one pointed this out during any stage of production. It’s such a complete misunderstanding of why Home Alone works or how to even write a basic plot. You CANT make the villains a wholesome churchgoing family with money problems.
If I wanted to watch sympathetic characters caught in torture traps, I'd watch Saw
making the kid a Jerk? he's a nice boy i can understand the traps are very painful but what did he do
@@benpeace6759 He stole a toy from charity. Even though, he is very well off.
The reason the violent traps work in the original is that the kid is in genuine danger and the people being hurt are criminals with evil intent. He is justified, and they are bad.
I don’t want to watch a movie where two kind parents desperate to save their house get injured over and over because of a stupid misunderstanding.
I have so much anger for plots that could be fixed with either a phone call or a text message in 2021. When we have so many ways to get ahold of people now, there's no excuse.
You know, the physical comedy in the original 2 worked really well because Harry and Marv were deliciously unlikable people. You love them cause they're hilariously stupid, but they're just evil and unsympathetic enough that it's cathartic and fun watching them get injured in cartoonish, over-the-top ways. In this new one, it's really hard to find joy in the cartoonish violence and traps because these people are sympathetic, they have a family and are trying to keep their lives together. Watching them get hurt is kinda sad honestly cause they are just an everyday family struggling to make ends meet, as opposed to two middle aged men with no real backstory who wanna steal things just to steal things (oh and then try to murder a child)
Its definitely feels a bit tone deaf at that, plus, they're played by two very likeable actors that its hard for me to not feel bad for them
Also the physical comedy worked so well cause back then we had no idea about the long term effects of concussions shit so we were all too happy to watch some dude get bludgeoned in the head repeatedly
I’ll never get over the tool thingy tumbling down the stairs. Ever. Gets me every single time. But it’s because they’re aholes.
@@Daaaanielle "That was the sound of a tool chest, coming down the stairs" **clicks noses back into place**
I haven't actually seen the second film in a while, but I remember that scene very vividly for some reason
Disney's unabating beef with poor people is really something.
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
That's true, it's not Archie's fault, and I hope that he has a successful career ahead of him!
@@trinaq i'm always wonder how come many talented actors agreed to do this, did any of them knew this would be a bad idea cuz the first Home Alone movie is such a classic? or is it because they need a paycheck??
@@15Candles LIKE IS THE CHECK THAT FAT.
How would you know what's he like in real life? I mean stfu, you know nothing and just asume.
I hope he dont do a movie call lord of the flys.
How does this kid go from being a Nazi to a normal kid and become LESS likable?
The thieves that get tortured with traps are the people you're wanting to succeed, that's the WORST idea.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂
my favourite part of *Home Alone* is *Spike's Noodles* 😊
I enjoyed Phantom Menace when it came out when my dad took me, too! He was a big fan of Star Wars, but he was chill about not ruining the new ones for his kid.
He did not take me to the following ones but did get them on VHS/DVD for me.
Hi OT! This is a crossover I didn't know I needed
Hai OT !!! Ohh... Nice seeing you here.. this is a crossover I absolutely love 😆
Geeze man, you have good taste. :)
The whole problem and the reason for the low ratings is the kid is an antagonistic brat who is rude to everyone, Kevin was constantly bullied and had to stand up for himself but the kid in this is the bully. Plus watching Harry and Marv get trashed is satisfying, they’re bad people who have it coming. Meanwhile the people getting tortured in this don’t want to hurt anyone or are doing anything wrong. They just want their doll back to save their house for their family at Christmas. The films sympathetic characters are getting brutalized by a lil sociopath. It’s like a disturbing horror movie than a heart warming Christmas movie. Inherently flawed since the first frame.
Then you add on top Disney’s gross display of greedy, this film will never be higher ranked, be viewed as a classic or have a sentimental attachment with anyone.
It’s third crime, was the star of the movie was objectively more likable and loveable playing a Nazi Youth in JoJo Rabbit, figure that one out.
Kevin was emotionally and verbally abused by his family and you genuinely felt bad for him
You know what would have been awesome? Give the reboot a 180 plottwist and make the kid the villain
Even the 3rd one which unpopular opinion is actually pretty good, the kid was sick at home and couldn't do Jack. And he was vulnerable, so just him being genuinely unlikable is just sad.
There's so many talented funny actors in this project, not that you can tell from this mediocre script. I hope that Archie Yates goes on to bigger, better things.
Hey! I just saw you on Elvis's Black Widow video.
I don’t know, personally I’ve never found him to be that funny
I thought he was funny in the movie. I just hope he dont do a movie call lords of the flys and be piggie. I hate that movie.
*21:54* what doesn't help is the fact that "You guys give up or are you thirsty for more?" wasn't scripted. It was a line that 9-year-old Macaulay Culkin improvised.
I maintain that Kevin McCallister became Jigsaw in another life based solely off his traps.
Jigsaw had a purpose with his, Kevin did it for fun
The fun of the original home alone came from some bratty kid beating the absolute shit out of two burglars who serve no purpose other than to be placeholders in Kevin’s story. The soul of the movie was the storyline with the old man and the relationship between Kevin and his mom. This movie has neither of those things because the burglars are sympathetic poor people and there is no other heartwarming story going on.
The burglers are basically the setting
Yes Kevin has a bratty side, altogether a likeable, but those traps were self-defence.
In theory I like the idea of combining the scary stranger who becomes a friend and the burglars but in execution, especially because 95% of the movie is from their perspective, it just makes the kid seem like an unjustifiably sadistic ass
Yeah. Plus, the movie makes the punching bag characters sympathetic by showing their desperate condition (and that they didn't care about the kid) so any harm that comes to them feels horrible to the audience.
The original burgarers funny to be beat up was that they were bad guys and intended harm to Kevin, it felt like they deserved it all. If we got sad backstories about the burglar's life as like poor orphans or something or their sad living conditions without food or decorations or family, we'd feel very different about them being hurt. But we don't, they're just the bad guys and it's fun when they get what they deserve.
@@pyraffin Exactly! I don’t even want to see this movie.
@@pyraffin of course the wet bandtis deserved their punishment, they not only broke into the McCallisters but several other homes which not only had theft but property damage from the idiot who left the water running for a calling card. they had no redeemable qualities. these "burglars" were just trying to get by and feed/house their family.
Yeah the scary stranger who becomes a friend bit in Home Alone works because we see them from Kevin’s perspective as the scary stranger pretty much up until he makes the realization himself. I think it would’ve played a lot better if the same logic applied here. If we are made to believe Max is going to be kidnapped or whatever until he realizes it’s not the case and the real misunderstanding comes out. It would also allow you to laugh at the physical comedy as in the moment you don’t sympathize with the family.
I also grew up watching Home Alone, but even though I enjoyed this movie, it would also simultaneously piss me off even as a kid. I HATED Buzz and kept thinking ''why are all of them so mean to Kevin?''. As you grow older you realize how awful this family is. I was always happy for Kevin to be alone at least for some time, because for once no one was yelling or insulting him for existing.
Especially in Home Alone 2 where Buzz humiliates Kevin in front of whole school during the Christmas padget. I really don't blame Kevin for attacking Buzz in that situation.
Kevin was treated like garbage by most of his family, especially extended. Frank in particular. Some have even theorized that Frank was behind the Wet Bandits robbing the house. In the original screen play, Frank actually did hire them.
My 9 year old wanted to watch it at first but most the way through he wanted to stop. He kept saying that it was a big misunderstanding and they were not criminals, so why are they getting hurt.
You know things are hard when Disney are failing to write for children.
I did not like it due to making us feel bad for the people we are suppose to cheer to get hurt. The original ones worked on part because they were bad guys that were bad people. These people are just people trying to get enough money to keep their home and they are shown to be good people in a bad spot. Now I feel bad watching them getting hurt.
The casting gives this movie such a surreal quality. Aisling Bea putting on a British accent will haunt me to the grave.
Yup, I love both her and Rob Delaney, their talents seem sadly wasted in this.
I get that it wouldn't be easy for the Americans to understand - but Kevin's mum going ballistic in a broad Irish accent would have been hilarious.
Right?! Creepy
@@rolfs2165 I’m American and I 100% love and understand Aisling lol
We need to introduce Americans to the brummie accent, so they stop thinking we all sound posh
In the original Home Alone, he just sets traps. But in this one, he legitimately tries to kill Ellie Kemper in cold blood with the weights on the treadmill. Lol that scene was uncomfortable as hell to watch
And also in the original the people breaking in were legitimately bad people, in this one they aren’t which just ads like a whole OTHER layer of bad.
@@ollieno971 personally I think Rob Delaney has never been all that funny. So many comedic actors these days do the same schtick over and over where it becomes annoying
Yeah, if I wanted to watch sympathetic but misguided people being tortured in a horror house, I'd watch Saw.
While Alex's traps from Home Alone 3 were deadly they were at least justified. He was being threatened by four dangerous spies who work for North Korea and tried to bomb a country with the chip Alex had.
Amanda: "Is it more watchable than Home Alone 4 and 5?"
Me: "Oh dear God there's a fourth and fifth one?"
If you like them: Amanda -"your welcome!"
If you hate them: Amanda -"If I suffer, YOU suffer!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For a solid 12 seconds I convinced myself Home Sweet Home Alone was some strange (amazing) Asylum culmination of Home Alone and the Netflix horror series Sweet Home.
OMG that would've being great
I’ll stick with the real home alone sequels aka the saw movies
Fair enough
My favorite Christmas series :D
they should have had ryan turn out to be Kevin's son, and should have had them team up against mean kids who vandalized their neighborhood on christmas.
This reboot makes the last 3 Home Alone sequels looked like a masterpiece
Preach, while the third movie was decent, the fourth and fifth were disasters all round!
@@trinaq there was a fifth one????
@@TehMomo_ the fourth and fifth one were television movies on ABC, it's understandable why so many people weren't aware of both movie's existence
"But Consider This: I DON'T CARE" needs to be chiseled into a Canadian landmark.
I'll settle for just making it a meme.
This is now going to be my go to line when I want to tell someone to f- off
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.......
Ok so I have no nostalgia for the Home Alone movies.
With that in mind; The reason why I think this latest movie failed is primarily because of 2 reasons.
1: There are no villains. The burglars are trying to get back a doll they believed the kid stole from them.
2: The traps and such are e really realistic and that makes it unfun. I can look at someone slipping down the stairs and have vastly different reactions depending if they go "WHAAAAH!" or "owwwwwww". You feel me?
3: the kid is a petty thief bc the owners of a house wouldn’t give his fatass a soda. He’s also insanely unlikable. He goes and whines bc his mom told him to clean up
@@awsomedude23456 But he did not steal anything. That was just to mislead the audience.
@@CommissarMitch that’s true but for the whole movie u think he did, which makes him
Super unlikable
While I admire them for changing the formula around by making the burglars sympathetic, and not really bad guys, you just want Pam and Jeff to beat the tar out of Max for attacking them, he's THAT obnoxious!
Admire? Really?
@@radhiadeedou8286 Calm down, they're just commending the decision.
@@radhiadeedou8286 applaud, approve of, appreciate.. does it matter?
I watched this with my family on Thanksgiving, and I was so mad at every little thing, such as them not winterizing their water pipes, or how come this couple didn't INFORM THEIR CHILDREN THAT THEY WERE SELLING THEIR HOUSE. Oh, and the fact that the one family with the pool didn't drain it in the WINTER.
Why did you watch it? WHY? why are people watching this? Why are you encouraging them to ruin everything we loved as kids?
@@radhiadeedou8286 If there aren't any reviews out, you have to watch movies yourself to see if they're good. And sometimes professional reviewers have a completely different opinion than the audience.
It's actually better and easier to not drain a pool in winter, as it protects the pool and cover from damage. Looks like that family had a protective cover and they probably drained it below skimmer levels to prevent plumbing issues. Movie is infuriating otherwise though.
not me falling in love with amanda for being the only other person to acknowledge the FACT that scream4 is the best sequel, after being gaslit the last 10yrs by fools who just don’t appreciate the MASTERPIECE.
I totally agree with you on the “just because it’s for kids doesn’t mean it has to be stupid” front. It’s probably just my age, but when I was a child we had movies like Watership Down, the original Land Before Time, Once Upon A Forest, all things that (in my opinion, at least) are kid’s movies that can also be watched by adults.
Obviously there’s also Disney stuff, which have always been family films; the first film I ever saw in a cinema was the original Lion King. But I swear there also used to be plenty of other family films to choose from. Now there does seem to be a big distinction between ‘family film’ and ‘dumbass nonsense only kids could put up with, maybe not even them’ and it’s sad. Probably because of Don Bluth studios going under.
Despite having a father who loved Star Wars, he still let my brothers and I enjoy the prequels because we were kids and he didn't want to ruin it for us. My poor dad had to deal with us watching Phantom Menace on VHS so many times! 🤣
Richie Rich definetly deserves to be on the sequel list. Same premise, same main actor, even title translation here is Home Alone and rich/wealthy.
You're not the only one with a soft spot for Home Alone 3. I remember watching that one a lot when it first came out because I had it on VHS. So, I have more nostalgia for it than the first two because of access. Even though I was old enough to understand the traps were dramatized, I still enjoyed the journey.
I loved home alone 3, too. Like not as great as the first two but I still enjoyed it a lot as a kid, in a way it also felt like it had more consequences? Like the bad guys had guns, they kidnapped and gagged his next door neighbor and left her to freeze to death, it was fucking brutal at times
I still love Home Alone 3. It's goofy but they're all supposed to be goofy fun movies.
Thank you, Amanda, for letting me know that there's actually 4 more Home Alone movies that exists! Can't wait to bring my family with me, so we can suffer together while watching all these garbage on Christmas Day!
Merry early Christmas and much love from me and my parents! x
(You don't know how thankful I am to know that there's actually more Home Alone movies that exists.)
Well you're just going to love 5 and the 2012 version-
Hey someone else who enjoyed Home Alone 3 when they were young. I thought I was the only one.
I’ve watched home alone 3 dozens of
times growing up and then you said that Alex’s sister is scarlet johansson and I think my entire world just shattered. You dropped it so casually and my brain just froze for the next ten seconds.
This is like realising Kristen Stewart was Madeline in Catch That Kid all over again.
amanda you are extra unhinged in this video and I don't know if it's sleep deprivation from your neighbor or travel stress but it's bringing me so much joy
Interesting choice to have the couple we're supposed to sympathize with break into this family's home while they're away instead of doing the responsible thing by getting the contact information of the mother, explaining the situation and receiving permission to enter their house to find the doll.
Or, when they found out the kid was still there, try to explain the situation to him, instead of continuing to break in...
Interesting but it’s ultimately what hurt the movie. In this the British kid is so unlikable and he actually steals their doll just bc he’s fat and didn’t get his stupid soda. This family is in a tough spot and as someone who has been in a similar situation I get their stress. All they want is to genuinely get the doll back so they can save their family, they don’t even want to hurt him
@@awsomedude23456 but he didn't steal the doll. It was the kid that likes to throw stuff. Hence why if they had simply asked him, then they wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble...
@@insertclevernamehere1186 yea I know, but for the majority of the movie we as the audience thought he did. Having your main character be that unlikable for the majority of the movie leaves a sour taste in your mouth
I wish it was McCauley Culkin breaking into a house trying to get a treasure in some sort of switcheroo situation and there's a kid who turns out to be the grandkid of the bad guy from the first one and he has to get grandpa out of the retirement home to kick Kevin's ass! home alone for the holidays: this time it's personal.
wait that sounds good actually
Can this be the next home alone?
That would have been a wonderful movie
This film so bizarre to me. I don’t know what they were thinking when they made this. I cared way more about the adults than the kids, the script was terrible and it had none of the charm of the original.
Plus Disney is all about ‘inclusion’ and being ‘woke’ yet given the chance (in a film like this where they could have cast whoever) and they did not care to make it any more diverse.
They thought that no matter how shitty the movie is and how much people would hate it they would still watch it cause it's home alone, and it's working
I can only say " Children deserve good movies" at everyone who is like " But it's a kids movie, don't critique it!"
Nothing will take away from the brilliance of Catherine O’Hara and Macaulay Culkin. Our family is a Major Stan of the movie and the trailer made us go “Not this.” (It could’ve been SO much better)
One thing you made me realize, is after the first two, the plots of the rest up to the reboot are all based on a mcguffin. As to the reboot, what’s not cool is the whole “struggling family” gets brutalized thing.
archie is so talented, and was incredibly hilarious in jojo rabbit. honestly, i enjoyed watching this film with my family, however it very obviously wasn’t amazing. i never really liked home alone so it’s not like i was offended by the film in anyway. AND IT WAS SO AMERICAN (sorry), like there was no need for this precious bri ish boy to say ‘totally’ lmao
bue
90 minutes of Pete Holmes being mean to children would have been an amazing movie.
I liked the first 3 movies, but didn't even know 4 and 5 existed. Lol
The first three had some sort of logic behind why and how the kid was left alone. Also, Marve and Harry were genuinely irritating and scary, so them being beaten up is fun to watch.
My family bought that same sweater from costco 7 times.
I didn't even know that there were 5 Home Alone movies, let alone 6! I am seriously considering catching up, possibly with alchol at hand. I feel it would make one hell of a drinking game.
Make sure to have proper health insurance!
Wait until Home Alone 3 and see how the traps are more lethal than the first 2 movies combined
Or you could rewatch the original two and have a good time
@@radhiadeedou8286 Home Alone 3 is more of a guilty pleasure movie than anything else
I think my favorite reboot was Ducktales. It gave us something new while staying true to the heart of the original. I loved it so much from episode 1 to the series finale!
I recently watched Home Alone 3 for the first time with friends over the holiday season and I had a blast! It was OK for the most part. I hated the second hand embarrassment. But then it went off the god damn rails and I had tears in my eyes. RC car was an interesting idea and I really like that the main kid and old women ended up bonding. I think it's a movie that I wouldnt have enjoyed as much without friends because part of the enjoyment was the bewilderment and laughter that happened when things went off the fucking rails. Also rat is best character
14:40 I hate when these kinds of movies do this whole "Ugh, sequels and remakes are terrible!" whilst being terrible sequels and remakes, just because you acknowledge it doesn't mean you're above it, you have to actually do something productive about it! It's like if I went up to a random person and said "Hey, I'm gonna punch you in the face now" *Punches said person who complains about it* "Uh-uh! You can't complain because I told you I was going to do it so I'm now above your criticism towards me." It's like the makers of these movies are operating under that same mentality.
Can we also talk about the fact that they opted to make every effect CGI? There weren't that many effects, so it wasn't too obvious, but every single trap from the falling icicles to the sugar package slingshot were entirely CGI and it mainly bothered me, because most would haven been entirely possible to do practical.
I'm pretty sure shoting a sugar package prop at someone would have even been cheaper than doing it in CGI.
There was no immersion in the first place, but if I had been immersed, that would have broken it for me.
Sidney Prescott from Scream said it best in Scream 4: The first rule of a remake? Don’t fuck with the original. 🤷🏽♂️
This is Disney ripping off themselves (even though it's a fox property) like they were doing their own classics
‘Home Alone 3’ is actually quite fun! I’ve deleted ‘Home Alone 4’ from my memory.
If you think the fifth one getting Malcom McDowell is crazy, the third one got Scarlett freaking Johansson
I mean it was when she was like 13 or something. But it might be after her role in ghost world which that I can agree with on how they got her in that movie
The first two had such heart and humor and this is a travesty of cinema
I like 2 better than 1 mostly because I find the "you've been smooching with everybody" and the shower hotel scenes hilarious.
I'm surprised you didn't mention when max brushed against his sister when walking down a hallway the sister tried to make it look like max was hitting on her like WTF
.....excuse me what
I love Home Alone 3 and Phantom Menace. They have their moments and there's nothing wrong with liking them. Even my dad who was a big Star Wars fan liked the movies.
DEFINITELY watching Happiest Season again this year. It and Netflix’s “Klaus” are my favorite Holiday Movie since “The Holiday”
Klaus is so good!
I also think both the first and second has good side characters - the snow-shoveling gentleman and the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL lady of the doves (pigeons) were both so charming and lovely, and in both they and Kevin grow and teach each other and it provides a lovely contrast to the main plot. Both of those actors did an EXCELLENT job, and yes Kevin was a jerk, but he was kind to them and they were kind in return. It ended up being a bit of outcasts joining together storyline. Didn’t hear any of that in this one. *doves are exactly the same as pigeons, just white*
This one was especially fun to watch, felt like Amanda was on fire. Every hit was on point. You go girl!
Aisling Bea as a Disney mom is about as hilarious as Bob Saget being wholesome in the 90s.
Amanda, you got me through some really hard times. Thanks for just being you, and uploading some awesome content. You're amazing. I love ya.
This comment is just so wholesome :) I hope you are doing well, wishing you all the best!
5:50 "It makes sense for kids to like movies like this"
Case in point: my deep love for "Jingle All the Way". I've realized now it's a pretty dumb movie but I loved it as a kid so it still holds a place in my heart ❤
That movie is a total trainwreck and I love it
My family watches it every Christmas and will never stop.
I like to think that the Home Alone movies were a precursor to the Saw franchise.
I absolutely did not know there was a Home Alone 3, 4 and 5 movies.
I'm just in awe that they decided to make the thieves sympathetic. At least make them seem like bad people at first and then reveal their sob story if that's what you want to do, instead of immediately showing that they're good people. We know the scene with the traps is coming, how are we supposed to feel about them being literally tortured now? Marv and Harry were hardened criminals ready to murder a kid, not an innocent family struggling with their financial situation!
Disney would never use the old music to get some cheap unearned nostalgia, right? Right?
Am I weird for being relieved it wasn't butchering a musical this time? Mulan broke my spirit.
When you teased that there would be a surprise cameo from the earlier movies, I thought it was going to be Trump lol
I actually really liked the third one a lot as well, when I was a kid! Though I had no idea it was connected to the Home Alone franchise since in my language it had a completely different, totally unrelated title
Ok but having Kevin go into home security and pranking his brother who was a jerk every year sounded like actual good ideas to me that sound like Kevin would 100% do
“Look at me go with the vocab” got an audible laugh from me
I’ll one-up you the recipe for disaster: my extended family and I used to ROADTRIP for the holidays growing up. granted, we weren’t quite as many people as the mccallisters, but still. nothing says holiday cheer quite like 10 humans at a constant state of almost killing each other in a van. good times
If I see anyone hating on the _kid_ I'm throwing hands. This ain't a threat y'all this is a promise,leave the kid out of it he has done nothing wrong.
He agreed to be in this movie
I haven't watched this and don't plan on it, the original ones both kinda scared me and ignited my love for Tim Curry. But when Amanda uploads, I watch. Also, the most unrealistic thing based on the rundown is the fact that a data miner can't find work.
I also really like Home Alone 3. It was the first one I saw and so is still my favorite of all of them
This remake is yet another example of Disney showing zero understanding of what made the original film so beloved. That a movie studio can be so utterly clueless about the properties it holds is just sad.
"Scream 4" is my personal favourite just because of that great and educational Sidney's line.
They made the "villains" more likeable than the boy whose home was getting broken into.
My kid came from school yesterday telling me she watched it and she loves the original and when a 9 year old says its just ok tells me plenty
8-bit Christmas is truly the real standout for Xmas films that were released this year.
My poor Yorki didn’t deserve this lame movie! Give Archie Yates something to fit his skills!
Part of what makes the first two movies so funny to me, aside from EVERYTHING about them, is how much couldn’t happen today. Running through airports? CPS not taking Kevin away for being left behind? DAMN, times have changed!
Malcolm McDowell and nic cage have the same agent I swear to god
Making it seem like the kid steals the thing from the poor people who then suffer at his hands pulls any of the joy out of the original.
He was innocent in the original, in this movie, the main kid is the bad guy. We loved seeing the wet bandits get their comeuppance.
But seeing some poor, decent couple trying to take back the thing that was seemingly stolen from them by an entitled brat is insufferable.
At this point in pop culture, nostalgia baiting is the antichrist.
I didn't even know there was more than 2 home alone(s) ?!
I completely agree with you on Home Alone 3 and 4!
All of the Scream references in the review got me interested in a Scream review marathon.
A true Home Alone sequel would be an adult Kevin McCallister on vacation meeting the reformed Wet Bandits & they team up to help a kid or kids defend their home.
I can’t believe they did this to a classic 🤦♂️😞
Really? I find it really easy to believe they did exactly this to a classic.
@@Tharppedo yeah I try not to let remakes of stuff bother me but first the nightmare on elmstreet remake not another childhood classic home alone 🤦♂️
I can't believe people are watching it
I mean. It's Disney. They've been remaking all of their classic animated movies as soulless live action versions. And all those animated ones were just remakes of other people's stories anyways. Disney have rarely ever had an original idea and just bought up Fox to get access to all those properties they can milk for whatever they're worth
The Star Wars prequels are not as bad as I remember them being. They were just really talky in the wrong way at parts. Also yes He was amazing in JoJo Rabbit.
Honestly the Star Wars prequels are good. Especially revenge of the sith
As far as I'm concerned, Home Alone doesn't exist beyond Home Alone 2. I enjoyed watching your explanation of the new one and it reaffirms my mindset. Thank you Amanda!
Home alone 3 was my absolute jam as a kid but i also was the same age as the kid and the toys and stuff he used were more relatable to me
My kids loved this movie I on the other hand was like ugh this sucks and it's killing my childhood
