The French guy on the plane is saying this: “I come from France, I'm a tourist here. It's the first time I've come to America. Can't you tell me of a good restaurant, only maybe your parents know a good place. Why aren't you replying? You speak French right? I don't speak English at all, help me out here. You don't want to talk to me, do you? Are you upset with me?”
16:31 Tim Curry was legit afraid of clowns and when doing the make up for the It miniseries, asked to not be facing the mirror. That line still makes me laugh!
I'll never forget the time we watched this movie in 8th grade in my French class, and we had to watch the French dub with English captions in order to actually have some tie-in to the class. The most hilarious part of the entire experience was the scene in the plane, because the guy who's actually speaking French in the movie simply had the words *Speaking French* as the captions for his entire dialogue.
Sucks they made it have to tie in. I remember back in school they’d just show movies on the final day before Christmas break with zero links to the class. We watched Elf in French class with nothing French in it
@@mrcritical6751most teachers just use that as an excuse to turn on the movie when the link is a real stretch. Like in my Occupational Health and Safety class our teacher turned on both Home Alone movies last week before break.
Greg Sestero, who later played Mark in The Room, wrote Home Alone 2 script (which was actually a self-insert fan-fic set in Disneyland) when he was a kid and sent it to John Hughes. Although Hughes rejected it, he sent along with a handwritten note that tells Sestero to follow his dream. Just a random trivia.
I don't see this movie as a copy and paste, I see it as upping the ante. - They're in a bigger location - The traps are more painful - Instead of defending his house, he's defending the toy store and children's hospital.
That's the thing though. Everything It looks, sounds, and feels different but it still has the same story beats as the last film. Even the jokes are rehashed.
This, and unfortunately, it forgot the emotion and took a few leaps of logic. I literally skip to Tim Curry, then to the traps because the rest of the movie just doesn't work, even as a kid, it didn't work.
Why was his reaction narrowed down to room service, when Kevin also spent his credit card on limousine service, a pizza, and what about the room itself? It was a rich suite. And it was already stocked with junk food, was that included in the room service bill, or the pizza at the limo? Because from what I've seen when they show part of the room service bill is just that ice cream and the toppings he got. Was that entire $967 for the ice cream and toppings? That was the only actual room service we saw him get, if you don't include the already stocked bar or the pizza
Yep. Nobody ever steals anything in the city. Everybody knows New York is just like Japan. You can totally leave bags of money anywhere and it will still be there when you come back.

As someone who has been to France like three times, I can tell you: They WILL talk to you in French. And they don't care at all that you say "No francais" 10 times during their monologue, they just seem to be happy to be able to talk to someone, even if that someone doesn't know the language. It's almost as if it is their version of going to a therapist.
4:31 just FYI, Macaulay was not suffering from the as you inaccurately called it the: I don't care I'm as cool as shit performance. In actuality, he was rather fatigued and increasingly overwhelmed and overworked by his father. Whom kept making him act in multiple movies too much at a time without letting him take any breaks because he was just using him to make money. He was burnt out by the time he was 14 and he quit acting in 1995. His parents, who weren't even married separated and he finally got away from his dad. So yeah, Macaulay was not being a brat or full of him self by any means. It's because his dad was abusive and treated him like a machine instead of a kid.
Honey059 it’s true actually. Which is why Macaulay stopped appearing anywhere on the media until pretty much last few years. I can’t blame him for this. Glad he’s getting himself back together after a long time
He looked like a robot in that film, don't get me wrong I find the first one lame as shit, but this is just not giving a shit kind of levels of bad acting.
Wow! I never realized that the fact ruined my childhood years. Macaulay being abused by his father? That explained why he was onto drugs and his hair is so long as heck in his adult stage. **scratches head**
I remember thinking Kevin was acting completely different here too. I personally took it as Kevin feeling more confident around his family. Even though his family might not know it, He knows that he is capable of holding-up a house, and taking out 2 criminals all by himself, so he has officially graduated into: 'No fs given,' territory.
I can agree with that. After what he dealt with in the first movie, bullies like Buzz just wouldn’t faze him anymore. That would also explain why he actually retaliated when Buzz embarrassed him during the Christmas concert.
@@RaphaelBas1995He did kind of retaliate in the first movie, only difference is he didn’t miss Buzz in his shot (both caused a domino effect, literally and figuratively).
Kevin's *"The Reason You Suck"* Speech to his whole family, topping it off by *calling his uncle Frank a cheapskate.* *What makes this even better is the look his parents exchange after he leaves* -it's less one of anger or indignation and more *"How did he peg him so well?!"* Not to mention Fuller and Frank *himself* being just as stunned. *It's even more satisfying in light of the events from the first movie.* Frank called Kevin a "little jerk" during the pizza scene which stopped him from explaining his side of the story to his mother. *Kevin finally got back at him for that.*

So we have Doug playing the Nostalgia Critic, Uncle Lies and Chester, while Tamara plays Chester and Doe’s daughter, Doe herself and Aunt Despair. That must have been somewhat difficult to do!
Another set of cool moments are when Kevin does a trap that's similar to the original, and Marv and Harry remember and work around it, just to have Kevin do one better. It'is very Roadrunner-esque. I mean, the whole point is that it's a live action cartoon at that point.
+David Butler I miss the days when the creator of the comment could delete mean replies. Her comment is misplaced, but there's no reason to call her that.
Yeah one thing he didn't mention in this review is the soundtrack by John Williams which is just terrific and is IMO the best and most memorable part of these movies. It elevated them significantly.
You have to make a reservation just to walk around the lobby. My family just did a home alone 2 themed tour of New York and we tried to get pictures of the plaza.
The reasons I love this movie are Tim Curry and the fact that Kevin is definitely trying to murder Harry and Marv in this one. Look at the brutality of his traps here vs the first film. He is trying to straight up ice them, but unfortunately for him, the world was operating on cartoon physics that night.
Harry did not slap Marve because he was speaking French, but because Marve was not paying attention to where he was walking and almost created a scene which could of gotten them caught.
@@R0-83-RT nah it's a fair question. I always wondered the same thing. It always came off like he was mad at him for saying what he said in French to the girl.
I always thought the homeless woman went into a depression after her breakup. The sadness made her give up on life, and no love from anyone else (her family, friends, other men) could help. That can definitely lead to a spiral that ends in homelessness. But they simplified/dumbed it down so much "for the kids" that it comes across as no real problem.
First off, they never said that and second, she was talking to a KID; why did he need all the details? Still, I agree with her falling into depression and who knows how the divorce went down.
And Doug totally dismisses her as if her problems are not as "real" as other homeless people. She did us a favor by sparing the details of her tragedy. Does the movie get better if she brings up how she started drinking to cope with the depression or whatever else it was?
And also the fact he continues to lie there and take the bricks hitting him in the head instead of rolling out of the way. But then again, Marc's never been that bright anyway. 😂
That hotel staff should get their own spinoff! They're pretty hilarious. Tim Curry, the narcissistic, slimy concierge. Rob Schneider, the conning Starscream bellhop. The stuck-up, aloof female hotel clerk Cliff, the insecure security guard. Just imagine!
"Anyone else feel like Culkin's blank stares are trying to eat your soul?" Really surprised Doug didn't make a joke about The Good Son since Culkin played that exact type of character in that movie.
Actually, the “setting/preparing the trap” score isn’t exactly the same, it’s very similar but not identical. Also, the score includes several new parts, such as the plaza hotel theme, the Duncan’s toy chest theme, and the main score theme of the movie “Christmas star”. John Williams still had a year before schindlers list, so I’m sure he could manage both.
To be fair birds on their own aren’t scary. Thousands of birds sitting quietly watching you is creepy Someone whose eyes were pecked out by said thousands of birds is scary
Timmy Curry save the DAY!!!! *Hallelujah Chorus plays* I can walk again! I have healed from sickness! I feel like a new man!! Tim Curry: we can all agree, he always saves the day and makes it better
He should either do 007 month, Dwayne Johnson month, Jason Statham month, Nicolas Cage month the uncaged, dc comic month, video game movie month, Will Smith month, Adam Sandler month, or Resident Evil Month.
If he can do a sequel to Sequel Month, he can do a sequel to Schwarzenegger Month; Terminator 3, Red Heat, The Last Stand, and either Expendables 2/3 (he did both Conan films in one week) or Escape Plan.
StrawhatPrime he's all ready done a Nicolas Cage month back in 2014 he movies he reviewed for it was Face Off,Wicker Man,and the first Ghost Rider movie
I actually watched this one more than the first as a kid. The reason? I'd been to New York as a kid and I recognized the locations. That's really it. I enjoy both films about equally.
"Have a lovely day!" Me and my sisters used to quote that to each other in a Tim Curry voice. Tim Curry is amazing, and that Tim Curry counter had me in stitches. Well done!
Awe that sucks, at 16:12 they had to cut the audio I'm assuming to copyright issues. It's been on TH-cam for so long and now TH-cam did a copyright claim? I'm assuming anyways. Wwwhhyy? Stupid TH-cam this is one of my favorite videos how dare you disturb this masterpiece
I totally realise that Tamara will never read this, but a little tip when you have to speak with a cigar/cigarette in the corner of your mouth. Put a toothpick in the end so you can keep it between your teeth. That way it's a lot easier to talk and not risk having the cigar/cigarette fall from between your lips. Small thing i learned from a dutch actress that had to play a role for multiple seasons of a series and 3 movies while having a cigar in her mouth 99% of the time.
I know NC is joking, but I always assumed that the "missing gap" in the homeless lady's backstory was probably drugs and/or alcohol abuse and she didn't want to tell that to a kid.
The McCallisters are a terrible family. I know Doug loves to get on his knees and blow the first film and praise how the mother is so caring, but the family is dog-shit. They gang up on Kevin in both films and show little to no concern for him when he's in trouble. At least in Home Alone 3 Alex's siblings showed genuine concern when they learned he could be in actual danger.
They show a basic level of concern. Remember how little his siblings cared in Paris? What about in the hotel in Florida? They always go, "Kevin's not here? Eh he'll be fine" and that's it.
Captain_Hat yup. Just like I did as a kid. Cause as a kid, and you learn about this as you get older, kids don't truly think things will go wrong. Mistakes can always be fixed. Now imagine a kid in a family that has great money and stability and take regular trips. Everything is ALWAYS working out. Not that theyndont care. It's that they cared in their own way. "He's home. HOME. in a secure house, in a nice neighborhood. In N.Y. it's the 2nd time. And it worked out all fine the first time. But for the adults they worried their ass off. So, I'm not sure still why you say they didn't care
Captain_Hat I have no argument with you I think the whole family are ass holes and they are truly horrible people and this kid is going to have alot of problems when he grows up and I don't blame Kevin for wanting to get away from them.
34:36 I love how when Buzz starts shouting only Kevin reacts as if only he can hear it. It's like he has an sixth sense for when he's gonna get in trouble
His Dad, not Buzz, at least I presume. And let’s talk about the absurdity of that last line being audible several hundred feet away from the 6th floor of the Plaza Hotel.
@@owenwexler7214 you're saying your voice wouldn't raise a few decibels or two upon finding out your child spent nearly 1K of your money on little more than junk food?
@@JoeL_1zrd I'm sure I would raise my voice a few decibels but I still don't think someone standing in Central Park several hundred feet away and 6 stories down would be able to hear it, no.
It's sad that John Williams is no longer working on films after the fifth Indiana Jones movie. It makes sense but it's still sad because he left such a hard impact on instrumental music in film. I know it's late but pointing it out.
This could've been better if instead of Kevin being alone in New York, he should have been stuck with Buzz. This movie could focus on the brothers connecting and reconciling with one another gaining a new sense of appreciation with eachother.
11:09 It's because Marv's clumsy, foolish behaviour often annoys him. "Serves ya right" is more referring to Marv's stupid sticky hand idea than him speaking French.
Given the fact that each Christmas Critic tops himself with how he shows his love for the holiday I truly believe that he could rant for 26 hours about something Christmas based. Doug is amazing at Critic.
The first Home Alone was more about the tension between Kevin and the Bandits and the highlight of the movie was the slapstick pranks which the whole movie was leading up to, where as Home Alone 2 was more of an adventure.
Funny......When I hear Jingle Bell Rock, I think of the opening of Lethal Weapon ........or the singing/dancing number from Mean Girls..........friggin' anything but Kevin in swimming trunks!
19:52 I love how the light above Curry's head lights up with a little audible "ding" after he says "Bingo..." Such a subtle addition but so fucking funny
[Poole is Mr. Provolone's grammar instructor] Snaps: Mornin', Doc! Dr. Thornton Poole: Mr. Provolon-e. Where are those G's? Snaps: [slaps money bag] In here.
That makes me think of Pennywise as just a regular circus clown who keeps being regularly victimized by a gang of overly paranoid and imaginative children.
Part 2 philosophy: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Some may hate that as a premise for this movie, but considering they up the Ampt and has the charm from the original, then honestly, it's not a great movie but still a good movie.
I love Nostalgic Critics's videos, but Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is one of my favorite Christmas movies besides A Christmas Story. This movie is funny as hell & it is not Christmas until me and my family watch it
I have a soft spot for this movie. I know it’s the first one but in New York, but it can legitimately get a few laughs, like the brick scene. It even gets me to giggle at Rob Schneider, like what the hell. Tim Curry is an absolute ball, as always, and I always love to see Harry and Marve return. Joe Pesci has to be one of the best character actors in the business, whether it’s for Martin Scorsese or Chris Columbus he always gives a good performance. I always love to watch the first two films as a double feature. The original is a classic and this one… I honestly don’t know which I prefer.
Ironically, when Disney (unless it was Cartoon Network) aired this, they actually cut out the Troutsniffer part since it apparently means something similar to Carpeteater, nowadays.
The movie that played in both home alone movies actually had a real life version. It's called "Angel's with dirty faces" and stars Humphrey Bogart. It was a 1938 gangster film. But I love how Marv and Harry called back to the 1st movie when Kevin sent the paint cans swinging down only to be knocked down by I think a pipe.
On the bird lady: maybe she had a relationship where she was depended very much of her partner emotionally, coupled with low self esteem and general emotional instbility. The breaking up was too much for her to cope with, leading to a downward spiral that culminated in her current situation. Yet I agree with the points made about how it is strange to have the one homeless character having such a poor - and widely uninteresting - explanation for their state. Furthermore, having watched the dublated version of the movie, I am both sad to have missed Tim Curry and glad I missed robot kid and his acting.
Actually I think her story is no that bad because it can be like just say and more. She is telling the things in simple ways but I always read more in those lines. Is like went parents divorce and they don't explain all the complex things but rather say what kids can understand and need to get over the situation. Plus is a kids movie so they didnt want to go with drugs abusers or similar. I think this lady was a good call, she actually reminds me the Pidgeon man from Hey Arnold.
Home Alone 2 and Home Alone are great movies that are nice to watch around the holiday season!!! They have iconic scenes, lines, and will be remembered forever!!!
I don’t know what it is about Home Alone 2, but I just find myself having to watch it every time it’s on. Despite its flaws, I still enjoy it. And yes, Tim Curry was great
When i saw this, i thought there were something wrong with the whiteness of Doug's teeth like he smoked 2 packs of cigarettes before the shooting. Then i saw Malcom's face like his liver failed. I thiiiiiiiink you have a color balance problem here.
Flanderization: Harry is a lot meaner and grouchier, and Marv dumber and sillier. *Justified for Harry as the two of them just spent nine months in prison due to Kevin's involvement.* As for Marv... well, getting hit by an iron on top of being shot in the forehead with a BB rifle will do that to a person.
This what is what I actually have thought to myself for many years with Marv, although I always considered mean and grouchy Harry started the moment he took a bb bullet to the little good fella
yeah, the second one is a lot more cartoony, not only with the sophistication of the booby traps, but also with the way the villains act and with the fact that most of the booby traps would just straight up kill someone, whereas in the first movie, most of the booby traps were believably survivable.
Gamesforus I think they saw how much of a success the first was and specifically made it more crazy and cartoony. Which is why I love it. Both films are great and the director said it was a carbon copy.
Santa Christ: "So, are you going to invite me in for dinner?" Critic: "You dont wanna be a part of this." SC: "I believe you." NC: "Leave this gingerbread house of angst." SC: "Ho ho." Me during every celebration of Christmas with my family.

Peter probably killed Kevin because of that bill and that’s why he never returned in Home Alone 3😂

I mean I used to low-key think he was a god when I was little so at least in some way I'm not alone. 😆
WAH HAH
Quite honestly it's a little annoying. It's not like he can do no wrong. Scary Movie 2, anyone?
I remember thinking Kevin was acting completely different here too.
I personally took it as Kevin feeling more confident around his family. Even though his family might not know it, He knows that he is capable of holding-up a house, and taking out 2 criminals all by himself, so he has officially graduated into: 'No fs given,' territory.
I can agree with that. After what he dealt with in the first movie, bullies like Buzz just wouldn’t faze him anymore. That would also explain why he actually retaliated when Buzz embarrassed him during the Christmas concert.
@@RaphaelBas1995He did kind of retaliate in the first movie, only difference is he didn’t miss Buzz in his shot (both caused a domino effect, literally and figuratively).
Kevin's *"The Reason You Suck"* Speech to his whole family, topping it off by *calling his uncle Frank a cheapskate.* *What makes this even better is the look his parents exchange after he leaves* -it's less one of anger or indignation and more *"How did he peg him so well?!"* Not to mention Fuller and Frank *himself* being just as stunned. *It's even more satisfying in light of the events from the first movie.* Frank called Kevin a "little jerk" during the pizza scene which stopped him from explaining his side of the story to his mother. *Kevin finally got back at him for that.*
Did you copy this from the tv tropes page?

The fact that Doug played three characters back to back is honestly impressive
Agreed. 👏👏👏
No wonder he needed a nap at the end
I wonder if he reads through every character for each take or just has a read in.
So we have Doug playing the Nostalgia Critic, Uncle Lies and Chester, while Tamara plays Chester and Doe’s daughter, Doe herself and Aunt Despair. That must have been somewhat difficult to do!
That reminds me of mike myers, you know what I mean?
Another set of cool moments are when Kevin does a trap that's similar to the original, and Marv and Harry remember and work around it, just to have Kevin do one better.
It'is very Roadrunner-esque. I mean, the whole point is that it's a live action cartoon at that point.
ZipplyZane ikr! Kevin was one step ahead. Kid's a genius. 😃
That was my favorite part of this movie. The scene with the paint cans and the barbell.

+David Butler I miss the days when the creator of the comment could delete mean replies.
Her comment is misplaced, but there's no reason to call her that.

Yeah one thing he didn't mention in this review is the soundtrack by John Williams which is just terrific and is IMO the best and most memorable part of these movies. It elevated them significantly.
He made Carol of the Bells sound like Ocean's Eleven. How do you even do that?
Dude, this was like the best ad campaign for a hotel ever. The Plaza is still getting bookings because of this movie 25 years later.
The Don DeLuxe I agree. There are a ton of people including me who will never forget the plaza just from this movie.
Same here :-)
Indeed. Hell, when I first saw this film as a kid, that's how I first heard about The Plaza Hotel.
You have to make a reservation just to walk around the lobby. My family just did a home alone 2 themed tour of New York and we tried to get pictures of the plaza.
@@superbrian1214this movie and OG TMNT movie opening pizza montage was next level pizza heaven 1000 lol
The reasons I love this movie are Tim Curry and the fact that Kevin is definitely trying to murder Harry and Marv in this one. Look at the brutality of his traps here vs the first film. He is trying to straight up ice them, but unfortunately for him, the world was operating on cartoon physics that night.
Harry did not slap Marve because he was speaking French, but because Marve was not paying attention to where he was walking and almost created a scene which could of gotten them caught.
Ryan Davidson *could have. Also that's a good point!
Pretty sure Doug was taking a leap in logic for the sake of the joke.
Bobby Ellis It was such a leap, he had to put on his spiked shoes and reach for his vaulting pole.
@@R0-83-RT nah it's a fair question. I always wondered the same thing. It always came off like he was mad at him for saying what he said in French to the girl.
Yes, Doug totally misunderstood… Harry said “serves you right!” Referring to Marv deserving the slap he got for not paying attention
You forgot " _Stooolen credit caard_ "

Make. This. Happen.
I always thought the homeless woman went into a depression after her breakup. The sadness made her give up on life, and no love from anyone else (her family, friends, other men) could help. That can definitely lead to a spiral that ends in homelessness. But they simplified/dumbed it down so much "for the kids" that it comes across as no real problem.
First off, they never said that and second, she was talking to a KID; why did he need all the details?
Still, I agree with her falling into depression and who knows how the divorce went down.
Wholeheartedly agree. Does NC really want this lady to trauma-dump on a child?
And Doug totally dismisses her as if her problems are not as "real" as other homeless people. She did us a favor by sparing the details of her tragedy. Does the movie get better if she brings up how she started drinking to cope with the depression or whatever else it was?
I think a big reason why the brick scene is so funny is because of Marv's reactions to it 🤣
In real life bricks dropped from that height would’ve killed him.
And also the fact he continues to lie there and take the bricks hitting him in the head instead of rolling out of the way. But then again, Marc's never been that bright anyway. 😂
@@hunterolaughlin The bricks to the noggin definitely didn’t improve that.
And also that he would likely die soon from traumatic brain injury.
That hotel staff should get their own spinoff! They're pretty hilarious.
Tim Curry, the narcissistic, slimy concierge.
Rob Schneider, the conning Starscream bellhop.
The stuck-up, aloof female hotel clerk
Cliff, the insecure security guard.

Donald Trump, the pussy-grabbing pointing guy!

We need a Tim Curry month!
Docteur Debilotnik YES YES YES YES YES
And maybe Critic can properly review Muppet Treasure Island at long last!
*Wa-Ha month

Heres the month-->Smarch
Here's a few movies I have in mind: Muppet Treasure Island, Clue, A Christmas Carol (Animated movie from 1997), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"Anyone else feel like Culkin's blank stares are trying to eat your soul?"
Really surprised Doug didn't make a joke about The Good Son since Culkin played that exact type of character in that movie.
In my head Canon The Good Son is Home Alone 3 after Kevin's suppressed PTSD makes him focus only on making homicidal traps.
Holy shit! Tim would play a great grinch. Not one I would ever show my kids but one I would totally watch.
James Collins - NC liked it though
Actually, the “setting/preparing the trap” score isn’t exactly the same, it’s very similar but not identical. Also, the score includes several new parts, such as the plaza hotel theme, the Duncan’s toy chest theme, and the main score theme of the movie “Christmas star”. John Williams still had a year before schindlers list, so I’m sure he could manage both.
Nostalgia Critic: "Birds aren't scary!"
Alfred Hitchcock: "Hold my beer!"
Alfred Hitchcock: Hold my French wine. Ah the French wine!
Birdemic: Hold my beer
To be fair birds on their own aren’t scary.
Thousands of birds sitting quietly watching you is creepy
Someone whose eyes were pecked out by said thousands of birds is scary

Please tell me we are gonna get Tim Curry month in january
Splurgabonn Nephlhogg I think it’s going to be Star Wars month: The Prequel.
He should either do 007 month, Dwayne Johnson month, Jason Statham month, Nicolas Cage month the uncaged, dc comic month, video game movie month, Will Smith month, Adam Sandler month, or Resident Evil Month.
Since he's in Vimeo now (and the copyrighters are REALLY tough on these ones), his subject matter isn't wide enough then.
If he can do a sequel to Sequel Month, he can do a sequel to Schwarzenegger Month; Terminator 3, Red Heat, The Last Stand, and either Expendables 2/3 (he did both Conan films in one week) or Escape Plan.
StrawhatPrime he's all ready done a Nicolas Cage month back in 2014 he movies he reviewed for it was Face Off,Wicker Man,and the first Ghost Rider movie

I totally realise that Tamara will never read this, but a little tip when you have to speak with a cigar/cigarette in the corner of your mouth. Put a toothpick in the end so you can keep it between your teeth. That way it's a lot easier to talk and not risk having the cigar/cigarette fall from between your lips. Small thing i learned from a dutch actress that had to play a role for multiple seasons of a series and 3 movies while having a cigar in her mouth 99% of the time.
Having it fall out was funnier.
...and having her react to the (non existent) embers would've been even funnier!!

I will readily admit that I like Home Alone 2 more than the first. I just find it funnier and more engaging, even if the story is repeated.
I know NC is joking, but I always assumed that the "missing gap" in the homeless lady's backstory was probably drugs and/or alcohol abuse and she didn't want to tell that to a kid.
I was honestly more curious about what Kevin's parents did for a living to afford a trip to Paris and Florida for over 10 people.

The McCallisters are a terrible family. I know Doug loves to get on his knees and blow the first film and praise how the mother is so caring, but the family is dog-shit. They gang up on Kevin in both films and show little to no concern for him when he's in trouble. At least in Home Alone 3 Alex's siblings showed genuine concern when they learned he could be in actual danger.
Captain_Hat truth
Captain_Hat lmao. They showed concern "when they learned he could be in actual danger" is the premise of ALL the home alone movies
They show a basic level of concern. Remember how little his siblings cared in Paris? What about in the hotel in Florida? They always go, "Kevin's not here? Eh he'll be fine" and that's it.
Captain_Hat yup. Just like I did as a kid. Cause as a kid, and you learn about this as you get older, kids don't truly think things will go wrong. Mistakes can always be fixed. Now imagine a kid in a family that has great money and stability and take regular trips. Everything is ALWAYS working out.
Not that theyndont care. It's that they cared in their own way. "He's home. HOME. in a secure house, in a nice neighborhood.
In N.Y. it's the 2nd time. And it worked out all fine the first time. But for the adults they worried their ass off. So, I'm not sure still why you say they didn't care
Captain_Hat I have no argument with you I think the whole family are ass holes and they are truly horrible people and this kid is going to have alot of problems when he grows up and I don't blame Kevin for wanting to get away from them.
34:36 I love how when Buzz starts shouting only Kevin reacts as if only he can hear it. It's like he has an sixth sense for when he's gonna get in trouble
His Dad, not Buzz, at least I presume. And let’s talk about the absurdity of that last line being audible several hundred feet away from the 6th floor of the Plaza Hotel.
I'm still in awe how Marv took close to 5 bricks to the head.

It's sad that John Williams is no longer working on films after the fifth Indiana Jones movie. It makes sense but it's still sad because he left such a hard impact on instrumental music in film. I know it's late but pointing it out.
This could've been better if instead of Kevin being alone in New York, he should have been stuck with Buzz. This movie could focus on the brothers connecting and reconciling with one another gaining a new sense of appreciation with eachother.
That would've been nice
I wish John Hughes could be alive so he could rewrite the story and replace by this one.

11:09 It's because Marv's clumsy, foolish behaviour often annoys him. "Serves ya right" is more referring to Marv's stupid sticky hand idea than him speaking French.
Given the fact that each Christmas Critic tops himself with how he shows his love for the holiday I truly believe that he could rant for 26 hours about something Christmas based.
Doug is amazing at Critic.
Will you ever do Clue the movie? Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd are in it
"Birds aren't scary"
I believe The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock would beg to differ.
Well, to be fair that one was scary because they used crows. This one just had fucking pigeons.
That is very true.
The first Home Alone was more about the tension between Kevin and the Bandits and the highlight of the movie was the slapstick pranks which the whole movie was leading up to, where as Home Alone 2 was more of an adventure.
Keep up the INCREDIBLE work, Doug. =)

It even gets me to giggle at Rob Schneider, like what the hell. Tim Curry is an absolute ball, as always, and I always love to see Harry and Marve return. Joe Pesci has to be one of the best character actors in the business, whether it’s for Martin Scorsese or Chris Columbus he always gives a good performance.

margareth michelina Anyone that says otherwise is lying
What about the next two?
On the bird lady: maybe she had a relationship where she was depended very much of her partner emotionally, coupled with low self esteem and general emotional instbility. The breaking up was too much for her to cope with, leading to a downward spiral that culminated in her current situation. Yet I agree with the points made about how it is strange to have the one homeless character having such a poor - and widely uninteresting - explanation for their state.
Furthermore, having watched the dublated version of the movie, I am both sad to have missed Tim Curry and glad I missed robot kid and his acting.
Actually I think her story is no that bad because it can be like just say and more. She is telling the things in simple ways but I always read more in those lines. Is like went parents divorce and they don't explain all the complex things but rather say what kids can understand and need to get over the situation. Plus is a kids movie so they didnt want to go with drugs abusers or similar. I think this lady was a good call, she actually reminds me the Pidgeon man from Hey Arnold.

yeah, the second one is a lot more cartoony, not only with the sophistication of the booby traps, but also with the way the villains act and with the fact that most of the booby traps would just straight up kill someone, whereas in the first movie, most of the booby traps were believably survivable.
Gamesforus I think they saw how much of a success the first was and specifically made it more crazy and cartoony. Which is why I love it. Both films are great and the director said it was a carbon copy.

I think the actress who played the bird lady (and was in Angels in the Outfield) is criminally underrated.
That's Brenda Flicker. She won an Oscar for My Left Foot back in the day. Always a wonderful actress.

Me with my family in general. I would much rather stay home with my dogs. 😂
Review is hilarious, but I'll always love Home Alone 1&2.
Reminder that the McCallister family wasn't in Home Alone 3 because they had to file for bankruptcy. Merry Christmas!
File for bankruptcy? What do you mean?
@Azula The Devil's Wench that was in the fourth movie
Actually Home Alone 3 takes place during Home Alone 2 Lost in New York.
