We all know Kevin's traps in the original were brutal, but they made sense because Harry and Marv actually posed a danger to him. I know the kid in this film thinks he's going to be kidnapped, but the audience knows that the stakes aren't that high, so the traps he sets end up feeling sadistic rather than fun. And making the kid so unlikable didn't help
@@spacegirl9006 Yeah it looked like pressing spacebar once just brought up the interface, opening up the _option_ to pause. They really want you to be absolutely sure that pausing is what you wanted to do. There's no going back if you make a mistake.
The space bar is for whatever the last button you used with the mouse to work. like If you most recently clicked go back 10 seconds then when you hit space bar it will do that. if you most recently pressed wide screen/small screen it will do that and same for play/pause .... i learned this the hard way of many frustrations just like Dylans :) hope this helps someone out there lol
That was the whole point of the original- Kevin was defending his home from 2 thieves trying to break in and leave his house empty: rightfully call it self-defense. An unnecessary remake shows an effing spoiled and unlikable brat torturing the most stupid grown-ass couple to ever exist in film from allegedly recovering their rightful belonging. I just LOATHE every tiny thing in this film.
It's a generic Hollywood film in the 2020's. It's written by 12-year olds for 12-year olds. It's just sad that writing has become so stale and juvenile.
And also, as much as Kevin's traps were deadly/dangerous they were a lot more cartoonish, I think. This little shid straight up cracked a man's skull with a fugging pool ball and set a woman's feet on fire! Besides, in the original movies it also adds to the comedic effect that Harry and Marv are so dang stupid, like, they fall into 4 of Kevin's traps right away are still aren't on the look out for other possible traps. For example, the whole sequence of Marv trying to go from the basement to the first story of the house. And Kevin was so lovable and iconic, he was just mad that everyone in his family had seem to forget about him or not care about him. This boy was hateful from the very beginning, disrespectful, annoying as fugg and just overall mean with no reason
Whose bright idea was it to half ass the villains? Either make them actual villains so we can enjoy their suffering like the original or commit and make the kid the villain in this remake. A reverse home alone would actually be pretty fun and a new take on an old classic.
Precisely, while I appreciate them trying something new with the formula, it was funny seeing criminals get injured, not a nice, sympathetic couple with money problems.
@@trinaq exactly, and their reactions just make it harder to watch. In the original, Marv and Harry’s reactions were always over the top and hilarious, they felt pain, but reacted in a funny and exaggerated way. But here, you can really see them struggle, feel pain, get hurt, get sad and miserable, and it’s just not fun to watch.
Dylan's face when he farted and we can see Dylan's soul actually leave his body through the sheer power of disappointment is kind of moment we live for on this channel
"My expectations for Christmas movies are a lil bit different. I don't need phenomenal film making. I just need.. entertaining, fun. Someone dies- that's a plus." - Dylan, 2021
I feel like it would have been a great twist on the original if they committed to making the kid the villain! Make him steal the doll! Make us root for the couple! And the ending could have been his mom coming home to realize that her child is kind of awful, where she sees all of his sadistic tendencies, apologizes to the couple and sends the kid straight to therapy.
Yeah they might as well have gone down that route they already made to kid so unlikable, if they did a full role reversal it might have been clever lol
So it's the story of a rich kid bullying some poor parents while they're struggling with money. And a story of adults who were unable to have A DISCUSSION with a child? Okay... I mean Okay.
How does a movie with a cast of funny people, comedians, comedic actors... BE THIS TERRIBLE! Did the people owe favours to people, owe people money... What thee actual fuck is this...
It was the screen writing, plot and possible the director. They probably had a small budget, the writing was rushed and idk honestly. Idk everything was wrong, some of the acting (I’m talking about Keenan, Ellie and even at times Devin) weren’t bad
What happened to Hollywood…? No this is honestly so embarrassing. Kid movies back then used to be savage and could pander to all audiences 😭 why did they water down the villains in this one when the original villains of Home Alone were actual criminals who wanted to hurt the kid? The jokes were top tier and everything but this one just feels like a Hallmark movie. And don’t get me started on the british kid… I was never a major super fan of Home Alone but watching this made me unbelievably upset💀 now i have to go watch the original and pretend that this doesn’t exist.
They watered down the villains for the same reason they're making all these villain origin movies, and that is to show that society is the only one responsable for the existence of villains
@@thundervolt1018 and yet sometimes people are bad for reasons that have nothing to do with society. Not every movie needs to be a life lesson, sometimes entertainment should be just for entertainment's sake, especially with comedies
what made the slapstick of the buglers in Home Alone funny was they were actually criminals... these are people trying to take back something they think was stolen from THEM.... it just makes it kinda cringe when the kid hurts them instead of like self defense. very weird direction to go in :/
@AJ Malaika Sort of... You press the space bar once to bring up the duration bar, and when that's on-screen, the space bar controls pausing and unpausing.
The bad guys weren't even intending to actually hurt the kid unlike in the original, these guys just wanted to get their doll back and save their home. They even hesitated before going with the plan because he's a kid. Children and adults actually rooted for Kevin but here they just showcased adults who are having a hard time try and get their life back together while a child absolutely wrecks them.
Dylan does us a great favor. He watches annoying movies and then we can just watch it a quarter of the time. If I’m watching an annoying movie, I just stop but he has to watch all of it and then edit it, which is basically rewatching it.
You can't inflict immeasurable pain on the villains, if the audience sees them as the good guys. If the audience knew beforehand that the boy didn't steal the doll, it might be more fun to watch the intruders get beaten. But the way it is done now, I just feel sorry for the adults...
How can someone take Yorki from Jojo Rabbit, the most adorably funny kid ever, and make him into... THIS!??? Also, they dragged Aisling Bea into this mess, good lord.
Yeah, this was.....strange. Having the burglars be likable by itself would be an interesting, albeit weird, twist on the Home Alone formula. But to have that AND to make the kid so much more of an asshole than usual pretty much defeats the whole point.
I love that Dylans always like "VIOLENCE AND CHAOS" and then when this little child is like setting people on fire and maiming them he's like "Woah wtf why is this child hurting these people"
I like how Dylan has gotten to the point where he isn't happy he is able to predict what happens but is now disappointed that he spoiled the ending for himself 😂
As a British person, I aint mad at the American accent being neutral. The main villain in Falcon & the Winter Soldier had a British accent and it bothered me so much 😂 thanks a lot America, now I hate my own
FR the cliche that every American villain is British is so funny💀 i think it’s something to do with the accent sounding sinister? (or maybe we’re all just …✨evil~✨💅😈)
literally the only positive about this movie is that it made for a great movie commentary for dylan. watching him tear this movie to shreds was quite the gift.
I couldn't even watch this movie. My brother and I legit watched it for 10 minutes and said freak no......we changed it to noelle which we both actually enjoyed a lot!
Same. Too many inconsistencies, and plot holes. The guy works in IT but doesn't know how to clear his internet history ? The kid is a good actor but the writing is so bad... Only thing that would make sense was if the kid was written as the bad guy and movie executives got scared and asked for him to be made the good guy at some point
I thought the same, it would have been better with more Buzz and they could have done something more with the fact that the Home Alarm System was made by the security company that Kevin started... Like having it go haywire and get at least a voice over from Mac
I had a feeling this movie would be bad, I didn't expect it to exceed my expectations though. Wtf is this lol. Dylan playing with the spacebar was my favorite part tbh.
The kid is so good in Jojo Rabbit but all kids in Taika Waititi movies are amazing, he's so loose on set and helps them to give their best performances. I hope he works with some better directors than was in charge of this mess in future.
I just feel so bad for the cast because all of them are just so great in other projects, especially the kid who was absolutely incredible and my favorite in Jojo Rabbit. He got stuck with this terrible project so early in his career. Hope he gets better projects. I just saw his costar Thomasin Mckenzie from jojo rabbit in Last night in soho and she got to give an absolutely stellar performance and I am excited to see Roman in silent night which looks quite interesting, and i had hoped that he would have been the high point of this movie.
The After series needs to stop. Not just because they're bad, but because we need Dylan to start liking the British again. Also, Aisling Bea is too good for this. Most of the cast is super talented. They really should've put more effort in the script, cos they had all the elements
PLEASE AT 25:30 “If we had known you were staying here on your own, we probably would’ve handled things a lot differently.” Dylan: “YeAh We PrObAbLy WoUlD’vE kIlLeD yOu.”
After Dylan realized that he never canceled his Disney+ subscription I got an ad about how to cancel a subscription with True-bill. Brought me more joy than it should have not gonna lie.
one of the best things about the first home alone movies is that the audience is also able to root for kevin but with this one they tried to be smart and humanize the “villains”. it annoys me so much
This video was an excellent blend of Movie Commentary Monday, Until I hate myself and Late Night Dylan.. There is something so entertaining about Dylan going absolutely crazy
The only thing I've learned from all these remakes and sequels is how wonderful movies used to be and less and less hope that they'll get back to their former glory.
@@chiaragervasio5189 Very true! I was just thinking today how preachy it all is. There’s a way to get your point across without being preachy, and it feels like they don’t know any other way except in your face. Look, we’re just here to have fun, take a load off after a hard week of work, not be lectured to about how we’re not doing enough.
@@chiaragervasio5189 I don't even know if that's it. Home Alone 1 felt very "preachy" to me too at times, but my whole family and I still loved every minute of it. When I say "preachy" I'm referring to him learning a lesson about missing/loving/needing his mom and his family after all. And the mom and his family learn a similar lesson regarding him. They literally had him wish his family away, and his mom warning him that it might actually come true. That part alone felt very similar to the start of a lot of moralistic fairytales you hear as a kid. It was still an awesome family movie, and better yet that part actually added to the movie feeling more heartfelt. Same thing goes for (family) sitcoms btw. There are so many good ones from a few decades ago. I genuinely can't name a single seriously good one in the same type of genre from the last 10 years. Genuinely don't know why movies and tv haven't been doing so good. The 90s stuff I loved still had lots of the "preachy" stuff, especially the sitcoms (think of Fresh Prince). But it just isn't the same now. It feels annoying, unnecessary, artificial, or plain stupid in a lot of the stuff they try to put it in now. Don't know why.
So your telling me not once did the parents realize their kid was not with them 🤔 In the original, you saw how desperate the family was to get back home and showed Kevin’s value in their family dynamic over the course of the movie. Yes, they forgot by accident. The mom realized as soon as they landed. It was nice to see their reaction on forgetting Kevin. They should have did this in this movie as well cause it would have shown the family’s bond. It makes it seem like the kid is not important at all in the family.
I'm from the UK and now I've just given up trying work out what the temperature is in Celsius whenever an American complains about the weather...wait... aren't we meant to be doing that lol
this is why Dylan is smart business-wise. he capitalizes on us watching his videos abt the films we wouldn't watch but are still curious abt and we wouldn't have it any other way! also thank you for teaching me about toggling fullscreen with the F button wtf 😂
Film seemed rubbish but you still made this thoroughly entertaining, even though I'm British I still love you. Also I'm not one of those people who'd write a nasty comment afterwards as being one of your fans, I know what I signed up for to watch this. I always look forward to your posts as I know you're gonna have me in stich's laughing. It doesn't matter what the genre is, I just appreciate your eye for film-making and calling things out when they need it. That and your sense of humour and use of innuendo's always cheers me up.
Yeah, he did watch it and I'm not sure which other videos it's proven in but his Despicable Me commentary he mentions the Scranton Branch closing down and mentions Phyllis, Stanley and a couple other characters I think. It's at 21:01 in the Despicable Me vid incase you wanna see for yourself

I hate that the kids are suddenly so comfortable with the adults once they show compassion. Like bruh... when you are actually that terrified you don't suddenly trust them lol
@@Someone30056 I just hate this film with a burning passion. It's incredibly uncomfortable to watch and makes me feel sick because of the unnecessary gross violence. I'm not sure why I have such a visceral reaction to this movie, but it made it incredibly difficult to sit through Dylan's video. His commentary usually eases any sense of discomfort I have with a film, but this one is so awful that not even Dylan could help.
Pretty sure you have to only hit the spacebar once if the timeline and pause/play buttons are on the screen. If they're not on the screen, hitting the spacebar once will first put them on the screen so you know where you're at in the movie, and then you must hit it another time to pause it.
Going through a lot recently and I’ve been binging literally all your videos. Just want to thank you for bringing so much laughter and joy during this dark time. ♥️

Why did they actually make me sympathize with the "villains" and make me hate the kid. Cause they had a good reason for doing what they did😭😭
After Dylan realized that he never canceled his Disney+ subscription I got an ad about how to cancel a subscription with True-bill. Brought me more joy than it should have not gonna lie.
this is even more funny to me bc ‘the british mum’ is played by aisling bea who is notoriously irish so her fake accent has me dying 😭😭
Alternative title: dylan wishing the worst upon a child for 28 minutes
one of the best things about the first home alone movies is that the audience is also able to root for kevin but with this one they tried to be smart and humanize the “villains”. it annoys me so much
Dylan: “I could be this guy…”
Me: Nooo Dylan, your jokes are way better than his.
When he said "He stole the show but in a bad way." I cackled like a mad woman 😭✋
This video was an excellent blend of Movie Commentary Monday, Until I hate myself and Late Night Dylan.. There is something so entertaining about Dylan going absolutely crazy
Him chanting "affair" is what keeps me stable
2:15 "Fking baby Hardin here" I'm wheezing! 😂
Dylan never fails to get me into the Christmas spirit - with murder, pain and darkness!
The only thing I've learned from all these remakes and sequels is how wonderful movies used to be and less and less hope that they'll get back to their former glory.
I think it's because they used to be about entertainment. Now they are just about doing the least effort to lecture people and "correct the wrongs"
@@chiaragervasio5189 Very true! I was just thinking today how preachy it all is. There’s a way to get your point across without being preachy, and it feels like they don’t know any other way except in your face. Look, we’re just here to have fun, take a load off after a hard week of work, not be lectured to about how we’re not doing enough.
@@chiaragervasio5189 I don't even know if that's it. Home Alone 1 felt very "preachy" to me too at times, but my whole family and I still loved every minute of it.
When I say "preachy" I'm referring to him learning a lesson about missing/loving/needing his mom and his family after all. And the mom and his family learn a similar lesson regarding him.
They literally had him wish his family away, and his mom warning him that it might actually come true. That part alone felt very similar to the start of a lot of moralistic fairytales you hear as a kid. It was still an awesome family movie, and better yet that part actually added to the movie feeling more heartfelt.
Same thing goes for (family) sitcoms btw. There are so many good ones from a few decades ago. I genuinely can't name a single seriously good one in the same type of genre from the last 10 years.
Genuinely don't know why movies and tv haven't been doing so good. The 90s stuff I loved still had lots of the "preachy" stuff, especially the sitcoms (think of Fresh Prince). But it just isn't the same now. It feels annoying, unnecessary, artificial, or plain stupid in a lot of the stuff they try to put it in now. Don't know why.
So your telling me not once did the parents realize their kid was not with them 🤔
In the original, you saw how desperate the family was to get back home and showed Kevin’s value in their family dynamic over the course of the movie. Yes, they forgot by accident. The mom realized as soon as they landed. It was nice to see their reaction on forgetting Kevin. They should have did this in this movie as well cause it would have shown the family’s bond. It makes it seem like the kid is not important at all in the family.
So... You didn't actually watch the full video then huh lol
Dylan playing with his spacebar was adorable🥺
"It is a brutal 76 degrees".... "Frigid"
Woke up to 32 degrees this morning in CT. Don't mock our pain, Dylan.
I'm from the UK and now I've just given up trying work out what the temperature is in Celsius whenever an American complains about the weather...wait... aren't we meant to be doing that lol
I love how when I was reading this “CT” in my mind translated to Kentucky
It’s even worse when I tell you I work at kfc
@@isabellerobey Its's around 24°c lmaoo he has no right to complain
@@sy6282 LMAO RIGHT we be freezing in our 0 to -20s and americans are like "brr its so cold" in summer time weather
@@isabellerobey lmao. 32F is 0C
his eyes literally light up when he sees violence, he seriously enjoys it
Now that Dylan has Disney+ it’s only a matter of time before he watches Hamilton and I CANT WAIT
I love how he appreciated Ellie Kemper in this. She really is a gem and brings such a unique energy to whatever she is in.
this is why Dylan is smart business-wise. he capitalizes on us watching his videos abt the films we wouldn't watch but are still curious abt and we wouldn't have it any other way!
also thank you for teaching me about toggling fullscreen with the F button wtf 😂
Disney: *has the balls to remake classics for eightcyears, but has meta jokes about remaking classic movies.*
“A married couple try to keep from losing their house well being physically and psychologically tortured by a 11yr with daddy issues”
Film seemed rubbish but you still made this thoroughly entertaining, even though I'm British I still love you. Also I'm not one of those people who'd write a nasty comment afterwards as being one of your fans, I know what I signed up for to watch this. I always look forward to your posts as I know you're gonna have me in stich's laughing. It doesn't matter what the genre is, I just appreciate your eye for film-making and calling things out when they need it. That and your sense of humour and use of innuendo's always cheers me up.
they should've just mailed him back to his parents and said "here's ur howler"
Dylan playing with the keyboard was more enjoyable than the actual movie
The fact that Dylan didn’t recognise Erin from the office is worrying, I absolutely refuse to believe he hasn’t watched the office 💀
Of course Dylan watched “The Office”, just watch his “Get Out” go-through
He has. And I thought he did because he said “Ellie Kemper?” I assumed that’s where he recognized her from unless he watched her in something else
Yeah, he did watch it and I'm not sure which other videos it's proven in but his Despicable Me commentary he mentions the Scranton Branch closing down and mentions Phyllis, Stanley and a couple other characters I think. It's at 21:01 in the Despicable Me vid incase you wanna see for yourself
It says a lot when a movie is so nauseatingly bad that not even Dylan's comedic brilliance can keep me watching to the end.
When you are having a painful HEAVY period pain and DYLAN pops up. The BEST DRUG EVER🥴
Haha are you me? /watching this while the meds kick in
Same girl
I had to get on hormonal meds to deal with mine so I FEEL you. 😩 I hope everyone's pain killers kick in fast and your heating pads are nice and toasty✊✊✊
sup I too am part of this club
Same
Okay, but is no one going to talk about how comfy his sweater looks? I'm freezing my ass off rn (heaters broken in my room atm so its about~65 degress) and I wish I had it lol
It's 65 degrees inside my room; it's ~30 outside
That must be awful…being cold sucks
.....if i did the math right thats 18 degrees celsius.... thats our summer... im shocked
@@kayx3998 ikr! People here complaining it being below 20 degrees celcius meanwhile in Finland it’s -18 degrees Celsius 🥶
@@kayx3998 thank you, I thought I did the math wrong and I was like that's a lovely summers day in the UK. Also Dylan said it was 76 and I don't know if I'm right but I worked it out to 24°c and my God that is absolutely roasting. So.... Yeah.
@@kayx3998 Yeah... If it gets above 15°C I'll be sweating in a t-shirt and shorts, unable to focus on anything. It's currently -22° here where I live in Finland and I need to have the balcony door open in the evenings to get my apartment cold enough to be able to sleep, lol. I'm so glad I live here and nowhere else or I'd simply melt and die 😂
Home alone is just one of those movies that you just don’t even think about recreating.
This video made my day!! Watching Dylan’s descent into madness over the spacebar and how bad the movie is is my absolute favorite thing!!
dylan getting annoyed with the space bar thing is so relatable, i feel his pain
I think this's one of the angriest videos of Dylan. His hand couldn't actually stop from trying to hot someone.
The space bar meltdown was similar to watching Ramsay solve puzzles.
18:11 dylan's expression, the pure disappointment was just, magical
I love how bitter Dylan is, like damn, man just looks like he’s really going through some things.
“I’m not that tall, kid.” - Dylan, 6’4”
I thought at the beginning he was going to make a sponsor for Truebill or something 🤣
Dylan only liking the mom and him also being attracted to moms cannot be a coincidence
I hate that the kids are suddenly so comfortable with the adults once they show compassion. Like bruh... when you are actually that terrified you don't suddenly trust them lol
"someone dies"...
So you're a believer that "Die Hard" IS a Christmas movie!! 👏👏
Just casually Dylan bullying a child for 28 minutes 😂
2:16 I keep laughing at this every time I see it 💀😭
This is legitimately so difficult to watch even with Dylan's commentary. I actually feel sick
Girl what
@@Someone30056 I just hate this film with a burning passion. It's incredibly uncomfortable to watch and makes me feel sick because of the unnecessary gross violence. I'm not sure why I have such a visceral reaction to this movie, but it made it incredibly difficult to sit through Dylan's video. His commentary usually eases any sense of discomfort I have with a film, but this one is so awful that not even Dylan could help.
"Is this too dark?"
No Dylan, don't worry, dark Dylan is always welcome
Pretty sure you have to only hit the spacebar once if the timeline and pause/play buttons are on the screen. If they're not on the screen, hitting the spacebar once will first put them on the screen so you know where you're at in the movie, and then you must hit it another time to pause it.
Dylan's default setting is violence but ONLY against kids
16:51 In home alone 2, Kevin bought some ornaments for charity or some shit. That little kid was a philanthropist
“If someone dies that’s a +”
Why am I not shocked by this, dear Dylan?
Going through a lot recently and I’ve been binging literally all your videos. Just want to thank you for bringing so much laughter and joy during this dark time. ♥️
I love that Dylan begins every movie commentary by saying he wants someone to die, but that went from general murder to kid killing really quick
