God, as if the movie wasn’t hard enough to watch, we get all this slapstick that honestly makes me want to cry. Harry and Merv were funny love to hate villains, but this is a loving, struggling couple getting tortured by a little brat. Had I watched this closer to the holidays, it would’ve crushed my spirits big time.
Let’s be honest here. Pam and Jeff are the protagonists of this movie. They’re just two parents who need money in order to keep their house just so that they and their kids could have a place to live. As a result of that, you feel more emotion for THEM instead of the main character, Max, you know, the kid who’s home alone, THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROOTING FOR? Unlike other films, in which the burglars more or less deserved what they got (First film, Wet Bandits tried to rob Kevin’s house, second film, the Sticky Bandits try to steal charity money meant to got to kids who desperately need it in a hospital, third film, four terrorists try to steal a chip that controls a missile for a North Korean terrorist organization, fourth film, Marv and his wife try to get revenge on Kevin, fifth film, three art thieves try to break into a house to steal a valuable painting and try to kill anyone who gets in their way), where whenever the robbers fall for the traps, it’s funny, here… it’s not funny. Especially when Pam starts CRYING over the fact that their kids will be forced to live on the streets just because they can’t pay their debts. This film kind of reminds me of the SpongeBob episode, One Coarse Meal. In that episode, Mr. Krabs tries to terrorize Plankton into committing suicide so that Plankton will no longer try to steal the Krabby Patty formula. Ignoring all the other major things the episode does wrong, this episode basically is saying, “It doesn’t matter what Mr. Krabs is doing here, he’s the hero, Plankton’s the villain, so if Mr. Krabs wants to drive him to suicide, that’s OK because he's the hero!” The fact is this idea DOES NOT WORK if you feel sorrier for the supposed “antagonist” of the story rather than the “protagonist”. As for Max, the main character, he’s overall pretty bland and lacks the charm of Kevin, or Alex from the first three films. Heck, even though 4 and 5 are hated by a lot of people, at least THERE they made it clear that the kid is the protagonist, and the bandits are the villains. I guess they wanted to mix things up with this film to have it stand out from the previous films, like having the villains be good because it’s Christmas and the important thing is family and all that, but the premise is way too mean spirited, and having Pam and Jeff suffering through the traps, while they are ALREADY SUFFERING FROM LOSING THEIR HOUSE AND NOT HAVING MONEY TO FEED THEIR KIDS is overall just way too depressing for me to laugh at.
Dosent mean they had a dog to rob another person home. My dad says if someone breaks your home you have a right to deal with said intruders harshly and beat them down especially if the threaten your life and attempt to steal your personal things.
@@mysterythekitsune2988 True, but they weren't there to steal anything unlike the previous films, they just wanted to get their doll, which was THEIRS in the first place, back. Sure, maybe they shouldn't have broke in or anything, but in the end, it wasn't like they were trying to rob the kid's house or kidnap and kill the kid or anything.
Holy shit, these traps range from painfully fun to just... the the treadmill trap could have tore her damn head off! Hell, even dart trap... they could have been coated in paint or glue... nah, thumbtacks all over her upper body.

@AaliyahFan2005 If Pam and Jeff were evil THEN it would have been funny. That's why the traps in Home Alone 1, 2 and 3 were funny, because the Wet Bandits and the four spies were evil, dangerous criminals who were getting what they deserve.
When this movie was announced I assumed they’d go easy on the traps and instead have him do harmless pranks. So I was honestly shocked at how insane some of these were
I thought they were gonna go the Home Alone 3 route and have them want the doll for sinister reasons like they stole it from a museum or something. But no they decided to just make it some poor couple who were financially struggling that get hit by the cruelest traps since Home Alone 3
Max is a spoiled little sociopath! The joke about the traps was that the EVIL Wet Bandits suffered the pain. It was laughable because they were getting what they deserved. If these guys were evil then it would have been funny, but no they were innocent people who made a mistake and wanted to reason with Max (who they thought stole the doll) politely and leave with it. If he was my kid I'd have grounded the life out of him.
@@Jermain-cz4bh Probably not but what ruins the comedy is that they are *innocent* people who went through all that torture. I even said in one of the other comments here that you can't just make set of violent booby traps and expect them to be funny.
@@Jermain-cz4bh But they weren't trying to kidnap him. Max just thought they were. The couple were actually looking for their kid's toy because they thought Max had it.
That’s the big problem with Home Sweet Home Alone. They made the villains sympathetic, which means you can’t and don’t want to laugh at their pain and misery. With guys like Harry and Marv you can laugh at them getting all torn up because they have ill intentions breaking into the McCallister’s house. The McKenzies, like you said, just want the doll that was stolen from them.
Exactly. You can’t just make a set of violent traps and expect them to be funny. There needs to be relevance as to what makes them humorous. Harry and Marv’s suffering was funny because they got what they deserve - and what made us forget how painful they must be was their over the top screaming and yelling. As for Alice, Beaupre, Unger and Jernigan, the pain they suffer was funny because they were evil dangerous spies working for North Korea. Pam and Jeff’s reactions were realistic because of how sympathetic they are.
@@foxteen8721 Like look at 2:33. It’s a recreation of the Paint Can to the Face trap in Home Alone 1 and 2, what made them funny in the originals is the reactions H and M give and the ridiculous screaming and yelling, but in this remake, the poor fucker is begging him to stop, he’s fucking crying. How is that supposed to make me laugh?
All they wanted was to get their doll back, and this kid... - wrecks their car - makes them slip all over the driveway - sprays Pam with soda - strikes Pam with the bottles - sets Pam's feet on fire - sprays water all over her - impales Jeff's finger on a nail - shoots a pool ball into Jeff's head - makes Jeff crash into a shelf, causing all the items on it to fall all over him - strikes Pam's toes with a spoon - leaves Legos all over the floor, for Pam's bare feet to step on - as well as her knees and hands - throws a bag of flour in Jeff's face - throws a carton of milk in Jeff's face - makes Pam slip and fall from the stairs - launches a bag of sugar at Jeff's crotch - shoots a barrage of suction darts all over Pam - crushes Pam's toes with a weight - launches a second weight, that just narrowly misses Pam's chest - knocks Pam down the stairs a second time - knocks over the trampoline, causing Jeff to bounce into a tree branch and hit the ground hard - knocks a number of sharp-looking icicles towards Jeff, that all just narrowly miss him - and trips Jeff, causing an even bigger icicle to fall and just narrowly miss his crotch And yet, not once, did they ever threaten him in any way. Does he have some serious problems or what?!
@ Those who choose to watch this movie. Some may ask " What happened to Kevin when he grew up? " Well this movie offers a hint to the response to that question. 7 minutes and 49 seconds into the movie a sign gives us a clue. A Mc Callister home security. Perhaps Kevin and his brother now run a home security company?
Timmy Turners dad and Eren from the office are in this movie lol. Part of why it's cool. It's the office meets fairly odd parents (never mind I only got the office part right I was reminded of timmys dad for some reason) still a good movie
Here’s my ranking of the traps sequence from every Home Alone movie: 1. Home Alone and Home Alone 2 2. Home Alone 3 3. Home Alone 6 4. Home Alone 5 5. Home Alone 4
You've earned a 'like' on your comment, and I agree with your list, Home Alone 6 has the creative juices with the traps, but just not up there with Home Alone 3 and Home Alone 1 & 2
Even though I love Home Alone 1 more, home alone 2’s traps are soooo good. Also I feel like 3-6 have traps that don’t feels as practical or real as Kevin’s. Or a lot of the time the traps are a lot more avoidable, like why didnt this bitch just move away from the treadmill?
I think the dad would've needed at least three lives to make it through. The mom is seriously scarred and could've lost an eye or gone to urgent care. But remember, it's just movie.
This is the biggest issue with the film. The villains are too sympathetic. The reason why Home Alone 1 & 2 were funny (and even Home Alone 3) was cause they were just robbers for the thrill of it so seeing them suffer is part of the Comedy. But these are genuinely good people, seeing them suffer through all these traps was almost hard to watch and you’re honestly rooting for them.
Ooh! That lego trap looks extremely painful including when that bag of sugar hit the guy in the most obvious spot that a man ends up falling to his knees
He’s so evil. A very unlikeable horrible kid. Kevin from Home Alone 1 and 2 and Alex from Home Alone 3 for the win for me. I wish this franchise stayed in the 1990s as a trilogy.
Kevin set traps to protect his home, whilst in the second he made the trap twice as violent to teach Harry and Marv a lesson for stealing from charity. His territorial side was relevant to both those films, here it's just laughing at innocent people due to a crosswire.
@Hicham Boudouma I'm not a comment spammer. Spamming is for idiots (unless the reason is for being harassed or bullied etc). I have very little patience with being accused of things I did not commit such as this so-called spamming.
Those so called "antagonists" really aren't antagonists... Just misunderstood by the kid. If you've seen the movie, he thought they were trying to kidnap him, when they were actually talking about the doll that they thought he stole. Spoiler alert, he didn't steal it after all Basically all the main characters in this movie screwed up horribly
definitely, the nerf bullets with thumbtacks were no pain at all, especially the one that went to her forehead, that was probably the least painful. same with fire. and the soda probably hurt SO MUCH, BUT DAMN THE LEGOS ALMOST KILLED HER
Im so watching this movie again next month. I feel bad they got hurt but still a good movie that's part of why I like it I was rooting for them to get the doll back.
Instead of this, the could've done a regular series simply called "Never Alone." After Kevin's latest encounter with Harry and Marv, Kevin threatened to call CPS on his parents for neglecting him twice, which scares them to death because they fear Kevin could be in an even worse household. Vowing to be better parents, Kevin later goes to college without incident and gets a degree in Law. Now a district attorney, he notices that kids around the neighborhood have neglectful parents. Kevin takes them under his wing and they form a neighborhood watch, vowing to booby trap the houses if they hear news about criminals on their radios. With Harry and Marv rotting away in prison, they get vengeance by recruiting burglars who are out on parole to hit those houses while the parents are away.
Nothing can measure up to Macauley Culkin's Home Alone 1 and 2. Though 3 was still pretty amazing. The storyline on this one was terrible because Jeff and Pam were only trying to get a doll back that would save their home but they unfortunately made the worst decision to obtain it and paid the ultimate price. I know this may be wrong but some of the traps were funny, but if the storyline had been different with Max not being such a little monster and the main antagonists were robbers similar to Harry and Marv, I'm sure this would of been better.
I'm not gonna lie I feel sorry for these guys knowing what they wanted to do to save their family, honestly though I like Pam she's very pretty and very kind too.
Luckily pam and Jeff didn't tried their luck with Alex or Kevin. They'd end up dead if they did. Especially with Kevin! Max's traps are nothing to sneeze at though. Some of them were actually quite painful and dangerous. Luckily most of Max's traps weren't likely to be fatal like Alex's or Kevin's traps.
I'm gonna be honest. I actually kinda liked the traps in this movie! I just couldn't stop laughing! I mean the LEGO scene was probably the most cruel one of them all! And that's saying a lot since she got her feet burned and got her feet burned!😂
If these were deserving villains the traps would be entertaining, but no they’re just horrible when they’re innocent people trying to keep their kids from living on the street
Spoilers: Okay to be fair on the kid's behalf, he thought the mother and father characters were real crooks that were trying to kidnap him the whole time. So, he did technically have every single right to self-defend himself. He didn't know that they were just trying to get the priceless doll from him, which he actually never even took from them in the first place. But I agree, this movie would've been better if they used real villainous crooks instead of this couple in need.
You’re right what you say. But they tried to get him to let them explain but he carried on as if he wanted to set the traps off deliberately. Kevin even asked the Wet Bandits halfway through the battle if they give up.
@@foxteen8721 Well, that's mainly because the kid thought that they were trying to lie to him to make him let his guard down, so that they would have better chances of capturing him, which he wasn't letting them pull off.
@@jordan1650 That's relevant, I'm probably saying that because of how unlikeable Max is. But I guess it's the writing that's responsible for the failure of this battle. Like you said, we know the story of these two people who made a simple mistake and to see them suffer agony is just upsetting. The Wet Bandits' suffering was funny because they were evil men who were getting what they deserve. It's ludicrous how the writers didn't even understand that.
1:30 I think that would be at least a little deadly worst case, and Ariel, a punctured stomach so 0.75 deaths for her. 2:00 burnt feet 0 death. 2:09 no way is he surviving that 1 death. 2:34 most likely a broken nose. 3:27 Ariel sent flying back 1 death. 3:46 hits a tree at high-speed 0.25 death. 4:09 almost gets hit by an icicle 0.5 death.
This honestly makes me wanna cry the couple did nothing to deserve any of this. In all the other Home Alone movies Especially 1,2 and 4 these were people who deserved it for trying to rob steal kidnap and even hurt a kid. But this couple had no intentions to do any of this all they wanted was to get back an old expensive doll for their kids. They even tried to talk to him but nope he just kept on at it with these abusive traps. No Laughing Moments on this 😥😢😡.
would've been a great movie if the "bad guys" were actually bad. (Note: Yes I know this comment has been said like 20 times but it's really important to point out)
I felt bad for Jeff and Pam here Max thought they were there to kidnap and hurt him when it reality they were not. Now replace them with Harry & Marv, or the baddies from 3 then those people deserve it especially they were not redeemable characters where as Jeff & Pam are. At least they redeemed themselves by helping Max in the end and Max made things up to them by saving their doll and their home too.
This is more painful to watch especially since the kid is hearing their pleas to stop and talk over and over while he's still attacking them. I feel so bad for these parents/robbers. I shouldn't be feeling that at all btw
@@jacksonconley5117 THEY LIVE DOWN THE STREET FROM HIM. They are visiting family right down the street. They visit every single Christmas. They attend the local church. They are people he would run into on a daily basis.
@@jacksonconley5117 The kid over hears a conversation about a doll and just assumed they were talking about him. Why does he assume that they are talking about him? Why does he think he is so important? He isn't worth kidnapping. Plus Kevin's traps were far more deadly then this kids. This kid used ice icicle as a trap. It's frozen water compared to tool chest falling down a flight of steps. Ice is like a bug bite.
I can’t really call Pam & Jeff villains...I guess to make this movie very short, Max or anyone in the family could’ve easily talked to either of those 2 to see what’s going on and help them 🤷🏻♂️ I haven’t seen the whole movie yet lol
I mean it’s an interesting idea to flip things around and make the robbers/people breaking and entering sympathetic. But the film went too far in that direction so all this is just needlessly cruel to two parents in dire straits. The film should have made them selfish but semi-likable criminals in debt to a mob boss and they’re breaking into the house to steal things to pay off their debt for less altruistic reasons but by the end the mob boss gets involved/caught in the traps too and arrested and the duo learn their lesson and just give up on crime all together
This felt more like a horror movie than a comedy....i actually liked the couple better than the kid and when the traps happened, i wasnt laughing, i felt sad for them. Thats when you know the movie has failed....

- makes Jeff crash into a shelf, causing all the items on it to fall all over him
- strikes Pam's toes with a spoon
- leaves Legos all over the floor, for Pam's bare feet to step on - as well as her knees and hands
- throws a bag of flour in Jeff's face
- throws a carton of milk in Jeff's face
- makes Pam slip and fall from the stairs
- launches a bag of sugar at Jeff's crotch
- shoots a barrage of suction darts all over Pam
- crushes Pam's toes with a weight
- launches a second weight, that just narrowly misses Pam's chest
- knocks Pam down the stairs a second time
- knocks over the trampoline, causing Jeff to bounce into a tree branch and hit the ground hard
- knocks a number of sharp-looking icicles towards Jeff, that all just narrowly miss him
- and trips Jeff, causing an even bigger icicle to fall and just narrowly miss his crotch
And yet, not once, did they ever threaten him in any way. Does he have some serious problems or what?!
Well he did think they were trying to kidnap him

Those who choose to watch this movie.
Some may ask " What happened to Kevin when he grew up? "
Well this movie offers a hint to the response to that question.
7 minutes and 49 seconds into the movie a sign gives us a clue.
A Mc Callister home security.
Perhaps Kevin and his brother now run a home security company?
Actually, Buzz cameos as a cop in this movie.
@@healed1337 So Kevin runs the security company alone. OK?
@@ryansextremegaming Or maybe he runs it with his other brother, Jeff.
@@healed1337 Shit I forgot Jeff even existed. At least it's not Fuller the kid who wets the bed.
Timmy Turners dad and Eren from the office are in this movie lol. Part of why it's cool. It's the office meets fairly odd parents (never mind I only got the office part right I was reminded of timmys dad for some reason) still a good movie
Here’s my ranking of the traps sequence from every Home Alone movie:
1. Home Alone and Home Alone 2
2. Home Alone 3
3. Home Alone 6
4. Home Alone 5
5. Home Alone 4
You've earned a 'like' on your comment, and I agree with your list, Home Alone 6 has the creative juices with the traps, but just not up there with Home Alone 3 and Home Alone 1 & 2
Even though I love Home Alone 1 more, home alone 2’s traps are soooo good.
Also I feel like 3-6 have traps that don’t feels as practical or real as Kevin’s. Or a lot of the time the traps are a lot more avoidable, like why didnt this bitch just move away from the treadmill?
3’s actually pretty funny to me. they could of ended it from there
Wheres the first one
@@MeganWhamGMfan are u blind?
I think the dad would've needed at least three lives to make it through. The mom is seriously scarred and could've lost an eye or gone to urgent care. But remember, it's just movie.
2:53 there you can see Archie yates in the background running to the other room
2:47 he sounds like KRONK from the empeors new groove
This is the biggest issue with the film. The villains are too sympathetic. The reason why Home Alone 1 & 2 were funny (and even Home Alone 3) was cause they were just robbers for the thrill of it so seeing them suffer is part of the Comedy. But these are genuinely good people, seeing them suffer through all these traps was almost hard to watch and you’re honestly rooting for them.
Ooh! That lego trap looks extremely painful including when that bag of sugar hit the guy in the most obvious spot that a man ends up falling to his knees
John Hughes is Rolling in His Grave
The traps make me so sorry for them.☹️
Me as well. If they were evil it would have been funny, because they'd be getting what they deserve.
Agree 👍👍
Legends say that they still trying to recover from these injuries
I think Max is the real jigsaw killer than Kevin.
He’s so evil. A very unlikeable horrible kid.
Kevin from Home Alone 1 and 2 and Alex from Home Alone 3 for the win for me. I wish this franchise stayed in the 1990s as a trilogy.
Yeah, He's more evil than Kevin.
Kevin set traps to protect his home, whilst in the second he made the trap twice as violent to teach Harry and Marv a lesson for stealing from charity. His territorial side was relevant to both those films, here it's just laughing at innocent people due to a crosswire.
@Hicham Boudouma I'm typing, not talking. So your demand is invalid.
@Hicham Boudouma I'm not a comment spammer. Spamming is for idiots (unless the reason is for being harassed or bullied etc). I have very little patience with being accused of things I did not commit such as this so-called spamming.
The soda trap is really kicking!
Yeah - honestly that's really the only good trap.
Those so called "antagonists" really aren't antagonists... Just misunderstood by the kid. If you've seen the movie, he thought they were trying to kidnap him, when they were actually talking about the doll that they thought he stole. Spoiler alert, he didn't steal it after all
Basically all the main characters in this movie screwed up horribly
But they literally explain who they are as soon as they get into the house. It's a stupid premise.
2:03 Goddamnit not this again

Poor Erin just getting tortured , but I must say these traps are still nothing compared to the original
0:44 HA! 😆🤣 running in place literally!!!!!
Bro, when the woman steps on the legos, you can see burns on her feet from earlier. Great attention to detail!
Okay, the legos was just plain malicious!
definitely, the nerf bullets with thumbtacks were no pain at all, especially the one that went to her forehead, that was probably the least painful. same with fire. and the soda probably hurt SO MUCH, BUT DAMN THE LEGOS ALMOST KILLED HER
Well that treadmill trap could of killed her too because if that yoga ball wasn't there she would've been a goner
2:09 Is like that one camera angle part from Harry Potter sorcerer’s stone when Hermione froze Neville.
I didn’t think about how the nerf bullet/tacks could have easily pierced her eyes...
0:39 I watched this scene while drunk and laughed so hard when he started running in place! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im so watching this movie again next month. I feel bad they got hurt but still a good movie that's part of why I like it I was rooting for them to get the doll back.
Instead of this, the could've done a regular series simply called "Never Alone."
After Kevin's latest encounter with Harry and Marv, Kevin threatened to call CPS on his parents for neglecting him twice, which scares them to death because they fear Kevin could be in an even worse household. Vowing to be better parents, Kevin later goes to college without incident and gets a degree in Law. Now a district attorney, he notices that kids around the neighborhood have neglectful parents. Kevin takes them under his wing and they form a neighborhood watch, vowing to booby trap the houses if they hear news about criminals on their radios. With Harry and Marv rotting away in prison, they get vengeance by recruiting burglars who are out on parole to hit those houses while the parents are away.
Nothing can measure up to Macauley Culkin's Home Alone 1 and 2. Though 3 was still pretty amazing. The storyline on this one was terrible because Jeff and Pam were only trying to get a doll back that would save their home but they unfortunately made the worst decision to obtain it and paid the ultimate price. I know this may be wrong but some of the traps were funny, but if the storyline had been different with Max not being such a little monster and the main antagonists were robbers similar to Harry and Marv, I'm sure this would of been better.
I'm not gonna lie I feel sorry for these guys knowing what they wanted to do to save their family, honestly though I like Pam she's very pretty and very kind too.

Luckily pam and Jeff didn't tried their luck with Alex or Kevin. They'd end up dead if they did. Especially with Kevin! Max's traps are nothing to sneeze at though. Some of them were actually quite painful and dangerous. Luckily most of Max's traps weren't likely to be fatal like Alex's or Kevin's traps.
To be honest I feel like Pam got more Painful traps than Jeff
That nail in the keypad trap looks painful AF though, that thing probably got so deep it hit his fingernail
I don't know why , but it feels like kid is the actual villian of the movie
0:17 0:18 0:19 Scream 0:20 Crash
Well this movie was better than Home Alone 4 and 5.
true but still no villains in this movie
The traps in this movie are better than the ones from Home Alone 4 and Home Alone 5.
Agreed
There was a Home Alone 5?
Yes. It’s called Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, and it was released 9 years before this film.
Anything is better than home alone 4 and 5
@@carolinestrouse474 I honestly thought that movie was fine
2:20 I love that they add this in the movie
The robbers were so dumb they couldn’t see the safe snow on the sidewalk. This act makes Beetlejuice look like a genius.

didnt the protagonist from the first movie set a guy on fire

Scorch Gets Slime From No Straight Roads Encore Edition Tiny Troopers Global Ops
the main problem is there's no villains
I'm gonna be honest. I actually kinda liked the traps in this movie! I just couldn't stop laughing! I mean the LEGO scene was probably the most cruel one of them all! And that's saying a lot since she got her feet burned and got her feet burned!😂
If these were deserving villains the traps would be entertaining, but no they’re just horrible when they’re innocent people trying to keep their kids from living on the street
The nail button looks so excruciating.
@@nathanielcruz6675 not as excruciating as the huge nail sticking out of a step in the first movie
“Steer into the stair”
“Which way is this”
“I’m not sure”
Spoilers: Okay to be fair on the kid's behalf, he thought the mother and father characters were real crooks that were trying to kidnap him the whole time. So, he did technically have every single right to self-defend himself. He didn't know that they were just trying to get the priceless doll from him, which he actually never even took from them in the first place. But I agree, this movie would've been better if they used real villainous crooks instead of this couple in need.
You’re right what you say. But they tried to get him to let them explain but he carried on as if he wanted to set the traps off deliberately. Kevin even asked the Wet Bandits halfway through the battle if they give up.
@@foxteen8721 Well, that's mainly because the kid thought that they were trying to lie to him to make him let his guard down, so that they would have better chances of capturing him, which he wasn't letting them pull off.
@@jordan1650 That's relevant, I'm probably saying that because of how unlikeable Max is. But I guess it's the writing that's responsible for the failure of this battle. Like you said, we know the story of these two people who made a simple mistake and to see them suffer agony is just upsetting. The Wet Bandits' suffering was funny because they were evil men who were getting what they deserve. It's ludicrous how the writers didn't even understand that.
@@foxteen8721 I agree.
1:38 yes Archie was 12 years old in this film 3 years ago
This is actually painful to watch
The movie isn't as cartoony as the first two Home Alone movies
1:30 I think that would be at least a little deadly worst case, and Ariel, a punctured stomach so 0.75 deaths for her.
2:00 burnt feet 0 death.
2:09 no way is he surviving that 1 death.
2:34 most likely a broken nose.
3:27 Ariel sent flying back 1 death.
3:46 hits a tree at high-speed 0.25 death.
4:09 almost gets hit by an icicle 0.5 death.
This honestly makes me wanna cry the couple did nothing to deserve any of this. In all the other Home Alone movies Especially 1,2 and 4 these were people who deserved it for trying to rob steal kidnap and even hurt a kid. But this couple had no intentions to do any of this all they wanted was to get back an old expensive doll for their kids. They even tried to talk to him but nope he just kept on at it with these abusive traps. No Laughing Moments on this 😥😢😡.
The villains in 3 and 5 deserved it too
@@Dougplugthugspicyfriedchicken I never seen 5 but as for 3, totally. They were North Korean collaborators, so Alex was booby-trapping for his life.
3:37 you really think I’m that stupid 😂
Yes yes I do
Pam is stupid, Jeff and idiot😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
would've been a great movie if the "bad guys" were actually bad.
(Note: Yes I know this comment has been said like 20 times but it's really important to point out)
Even if they were bad it still would have failed. Max is already an unlikeable kid from the very first scene.
These traps were more brutal compared to Final Destination deaths
I just love Home Alone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
I felt bad for Jeff and Pam here Max thought they were there to kidnap and hurt him when it reality they were not. Now replace them with Harry & Marv, or the baddies from 3 then those people deserve it especially they were not redeemable characters where as Jeff & Pam are. At least they redeemed themselves by helping Max in the end and Max made things up to them by saving their doll and their home too.
Thanks for this video I just thought there was a scarface reference
We're all just a little tired from getting all torn apart. - Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw, Baby's Day Out (1994)
Honestly this was way better than 4 and 5.
Kids when your parents tell you to pick up your legos they really mean don't hurt the burglars.
This is more painful to watch especially since the kid is hearing their pleas to stop and talk over and over while he's still attacking them. I feel so bad for these parents/robbers. I shouldn't be feeling that at all btw
Some people think it's bad but I think it fuunnnyytastic
@Michael Tucker 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
So instead of defending his home.
He just assaulted some people for no reason.
He thought they were going to kidnap him.
@@jacksonconley5117 THEY LIVE DOWN THE STREET FROM HIM. They are visiting family right down the street. They visit every single Christmas. They attend the local church. They are people he would run into on a daily basis.
@@jacksonconley5117 The kid over hears a conversation about a doll and just assumed they were talking about him. Why does he assume that they are talking about him? Why does he think he is so important? He isn't worth kidnapping. Plus Kevin's traps were far more deadly then this kids. This kid used ice icicle as a trap. It's frozen water compared to tool chest falling down a flight of steps. Ice is like a bug bite.
All the more reason why 1 (and 2) are so much better
Water Element: Hey Burglar! Spray This!
I didn’t know this is what SmurfBlossom does on holidays. 😂😂😂😂😂
Jeff and Pam mistaked this kid for someone else. At the end he finds out that the couple actually has children.
You forgot the spicy cookie trap
Yeah of course reuse the sound track from the first two movies.
I can’t really call Pam & Jeff villains...I guess to make this movie very short, Max or anyone in the family could’ve easily talked to either of those 2 to see what’s going on and help them 🤷🏻♂️ I haven’t seen the whole movie yet lol
Once upon a time
A kid once made a grown man jump from a trampoline and ragdoll into the air making him injure himself on a tree
I mean it’s an interesting idea to flip things around and make the robbers/people breaking and entering sympathetic. But the film went too far in that direction so all this is just needlessly cruel to two parents in dire straits. The film should have made them selfish but semi-likable criminals in debt to a mob boss and they’re breaking into the house to steal things to pay off their debt for less altruistic reasons but by the end the mob boss gets involved/caught in the traps too and arrested and the duo learn their lesson and just give up on crime all together
Ok I felt that when she drop her entire knee to the Legos

1:25 As Steve-O would say. 😎
I’d say Pam and Marv Both have one thing in common they Lost all their footwear and walked on extremely painful items
Broken ornaments and nails look the most painful
Make that two. In reality, they both would be in need of hospitalization.
1:47 (EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
They should make more “Home Alone” movies for the holidays
The LEGO trap is a classic
This felt more like a horror movie than a comedy....i actually liked the couple better than the kid and when the traps happened, i wasnt laughing, i felt sad for them.
Thats when you know the movie has failed....
The couple were the real protagonists of this installment.
That last one was brutally dangerous
