If you laughed out loud with me, share with friends that need a laugh! Thanks for watching
Can you plz watch home alone 3. Different actors but still funny and actually my most watched home alone.
@@gaming44life6 My best of these are 3rd one as well.
Greatest line in cinema history: "SUCK BRICK KID!" 🤣🤣🤣
React to Home Alone 3 please.
@@thinkbeyond3457 yes
Marv taking the bricks to the face will forever be a scene that makes me cry from laughing so hard.
Marv’s screaming when electrocuted gets me too
My father absolutely loves Marv because of the delayed reaction he has. He sometimes acts like that too:)
I was just about to leave this same comment!
@@Caglecardscollectibles21 another great part is at the end when they're getting attacked by all the birds and Marv sticks his head up and screams. That one gets me every time.
I always love when Marv throws one “Suck Brick!!!”
This movie is a rare example of capturing the original magic of the first.
Everybody loves these films because they are so silly and funny. Something the whole family can gather round at Christmas to enjoy. The antics with Kevin and the crooks are like a real life Tom and Jerry.
I used to dislike the sequel, but over the years, it's grown on me.
That part where Marv turns into a skeleton when getting electrocuted gets me every damn time.
It is very funny
That's my absolute favorite scene from any of the Home Alone movies..the only other scene that makes me laugh more every time is when Jim Carey slams his face in to the bench in Ace Ventura 🤣🤣
@@MaRodney07 HALF TIME!
One of my favorite scenes in any movie ever, whoever came up with that idea was genius!
Hell yes man 😂😂😂
The Irony Being that Tim Curry played Pennywise in IT and is scared of a clown...Priceless
I can't believe I've never thought of that after all these years lol
It's a great detail lol
Fun fact: After leaving the cinema (I was a kid) and heading home with my mum? We went past a construction site, and there were a pile of bricks. We burst out laughing and couldn't stop as all we thought about was Marv getting bricked! XD
out of all the scenes, i think the brick throwing is my favorite. never gets old
NEVER!!!
Marv: Thumbs down.
H-h-harry...Harry....
Give this man life support. He already had head trauma in the first movie fr9m the hot iron. If I were him, id say screw it im out
"You guys give up? Have you had enough pain?"
"NEVER!"
Tim Curry holding back tears is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Do bundle up, it's awfully cold outside 🥺
Your joy and laughter are so genuine its completely infectious hahaha. Great reaction. I havent watched this movie since the actual 90's so it was nice to see someone enjoy it for the first time in 2022 :)
I hope you check out some of my other comedy reactions. Lots to choose from.
Fun fact: there's a former president in this movie.
Joe Pesci?
As far as sequels go, I have a hard time deciding which of the two Home Alone movies I like better. They are both so funny. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Great review as usual. 😂
Both are great!
@@patriciaalvareztostado8170, both are excellent, but the most deaths is definitely the sequel.
Trump owned that hotel at the time of shooting. When production asked to film on location, Trump said the only way is if he can get in the movie. Hence his cameo
He also paid for those red carpets they put down. He loved the look
Not only could you go to the top of the Twin Towers, there was a rotating restaurant on top. When my wife and I got married, I promised her we would eat there. Seeing the towers in films like that gets me every time.
The toy store was FAO Schwartz. Also featured in the movie Big. Not only could you play with the toys like that, the store was so segmented that in order to see it all, you needed to go outside and re-enter another segment.
Marv taking the bricks to the head gets me every time. Even though I know that fourth brick is coming, it never fails to make me laugh.
The two "films" Kevin watches aren't actual films. They were shot specifically for Home Alone. But the titles are a nod to Angels with Dirty Faces, a 1938 James Cagney gangster film.
Was it any good?
"What kind of hotel allows a child to check in alone?"
"The boy had a very convincing story."
"What kind of idiots do you have working here?"
"The finest in New York."
Fun Fact: Macaulay Culkin was paid $4.5 million to star in this movie, the biggest salary ever to an eleven-year-old (at the time of filming) child actor.
Toys For Christmas Fact: All of the children who appeared in the toy store scene were allowed to take their favorite toy home as part of their salary. Even though it didn't work and was created specifically for the movie as a prop, Macaulay Culkin was allowed to keep the Talkboy. After the movie became a box office hit, Tiger Electronics created and distributed a real version of the Talkboy (along with its pink-and-purple counterpart, the Talkgirl).
Location Location Fact: This movie was actually shot at the Plaza in a Central Park suite. The phone number given for the Plaza in the movie was an actual working number. The carpet was removed from The Plaza lobby for one scene so that Macaulay Culkin could slip and slide on the floor. The Plaza owner liked it so much, he never had it refitted. The swimming pool scene was shot at the Four Seasons in Chicago, Illinois, because The Plaza Hotel doesn't have a swimming pool located on-site. The airport scenes were exponentially more difficult to shoot than the first movie. The airport had to stay operational during filming, and Macaulay Culkin's newfound celebrity status required extra security due to fans and paparazzi. The scenes at O'Hare International Airport were filmed in February 1992, and kept their Christmas decorations up for the occasion.
I watched this while getting my nails done and could not stop laughing at you laughing... Got stared at but totally worth it haha! Great way to start the holiday season!
Share with other :-)
The “Angels With Filthy Souls” film franchise exists only in the Home Alone franchise
Idk if you like older movies that much, but "Meet Me in St. Louis" is a great one for Christmas; it is the movie that Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was written for (Judy Garland sings it) 🎄
Ps, love your laugh, it's contagious! 😆
The electrocution scene had me dying laughing😂😂OMG!
for sure
😂😂😂😂
I love that Joe Pesci's "frick, frack" and wehat have you is because he simply couldn't swear for a family film, and he's certainly known for saying a swear word or two in his other roles.
Marv screaming when being attacked by pigeons in park had me howling! 🤣🤣🤣
It's a great scene and he sure leaves an impression.
You mentioned that Chris Columbus directed the first two Harry Potter movies. He also did Mrs. Doubtfire! Two of my favorite films of his are Stepmom (1998), with Julia Roberts (Tinkerbell in Hook), and Bicentennial Man (1999), with Robin Williams.
It's some kind of tradition here in germany, or at least a tradition for the ppl I know here, to watch "Home Alone", "Home Alone 2" and "Christmas Vacation" around christmas time every year. And this movies are not getting old, if ya know what I mean. They're classics. Old but gold!
How Fun!
James - no, the black-and-white movie Kevin watches in the hotel isn't real (it's a "movie within a movie," as the terminology goes), but it is a parody of a real one. The original is a 1938 film called "Angels With Dirty Faces," which earned another James (actor James Cagney) an Oscar nomination.
As fun as "Angels With Filthy Souls" and its sequel sound, sadly, no, they are not real movies.
The girl at the airport when Kevin lands in New York, is the girl from the Breakfast Club. Ally Sheedy.
OMG, I thought she looked familiar
I love Home Alone 1 & 2 equally, great review.
Thanks
Yes! Been waiting for this one all week! Excellent, James!
The outsiders 1983 is one of my favorite movies I've seen this year. It has famous actors like Ralph macchio who did Daniel in the karatie kid. Tom cruise,Matt Dillon, and patrick swayze. And more are all famous after this movie.
One of my favorites since I was a teenager 💕 love the book too!
Cliff when he finds out he’s on the list lol and the others reactions I’m dead
Out of the first two home alone movies. I have to say the second one was way funnier and I truly enjoyed it. The first one is cute but out of the 2 I find the second one better then the first. As for home alone 3. Kevin isn't it but I like the storyline and it's just so dang funny. I hope you check it out
Been waiting almost a year for you to watch this! Not a lot of sequels are as good as the first one but this one is!
Same here, I was a little sad last year that he didn't react to this, but now I'm happy 😀
Glad I could share some joy
That brick throwing scene is the best 😂
Greatest line in the whole movie is when Marv says "Wow! What a hole!"
"These are just new actors." LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The brick scene, the paint scene, and of course, the electrocution scene were some of my favorite things of all time as a kid. Used to kill me laughing every time I watched this.
Very funny stuff
Beautiful memories. It is a legendary film, a childhood nostalgic film
Perfect timing, I just rewatched your Home Alone reaction yesterday.
It’s basically the same as the first one but the differences that do exist are enough to make me like this one more than the first. 🤣 Not sure which stunt is my favorite, probably a tie between Harry’s failed swing into the building and him sticking his flaming head into a toilet with the building going off lol
14:30 hahaha! I was crying in laughter when I saw this!
"Angels with Filthy Souls", and "Angels with Even Filthier Souls" in Home Alone 2, is a play on Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) starring James Cagney.
It's a small moment but my 6 year old son laughs hysterically when Marv shoots himself in the face with the staple gun. The comedic timing is perfect😅
yeah I left that part in. Loved it
If you liked this you will LOVE the movie "Mousehunt" (1997)
My most dedicated parents aka Santa Claus bought me the TalkBoy in the early 90s. The best toy recorder ever! My dad just passed away & my mom is living on. Thank u for ur laughter & reaction! 😂😂❤❤
John Williams did such a great job with the music for these two films
Ally Sheedy plays the NY ticket agent in this film and in the first movie the beautiful Hope Davis played the French ticket agent.
Your laughter is priceless.
Apparently the actor who played Marv was asked why did he play the part and endure all the stunts. He replied I needed to get my kid to college.
funny
Always loved seeing the traps. Nowadays with the room service he had, $1000 would be a steal
I'm happy you had as much fun with this movie as I had when I watched it for the first time.
I know when Marv gets scared and he shrieks at the top of his lungs in a shrill voice when the pigeons are on him, it was meant to be hilarious but for me that scream still disturbs me. For years I used to think I was disturbed at the idea that he was being attacked by birds and that his scream was a result of that. But then I discovered after a while that it was just the scream alone that disturbs me. It just sounds really gut wrenching and blood curdling. And I get it that Chris Columbus the director told Dan Stern (The guy playing Marv) to make it even more hysterical and shrill than the scream he did when the spider was on him in the first movie. But it's just that his scream with the birds, I just never thought it was funny. I still to this day find it really unpleasant sounding
Marv getting eletrocuted gets me every time XD
Both of these were great
Maaan when i first saw this movie when i was about 11 years old, i just wanted to be like Kevin! This was too hilarious! 😂😂 and clever!
I always loved this one more than the first haha.
And when you lose it seeing Trump, it just cracked me up!!
Hilarious reaction video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I love your complete honesty in reactions. It makes it SO fun to watch along.
So happy you enjoy them, tell your friends
Kevin's flight mix-up is more pre-9/11 than him literally sittin on top of the WTC towers
Agreed
Both scary & funny all at once 14:23
I remember playing the Home Alone 2 game on Sega Genesis when I was a kid! We rented it from Blockbuster! To beat the game you had to make it to the Pigeon Lady workout getting caught, activating all the bobby traps along the way. Always a joy watching your reactions!
Hey James… Jason here from Clear Lake IA:) I really enjoy your reactions and it’s fun watching ya laugh so hard sometimes… keep up with the great reactions!!
You have the best reactions to this movie I have seen! I was laughing right along with you!
Wow, thanks!
Gives good meaning to you're in danger? SCREAM 😱 LOL
Your reaction when it came to Marv falling in the hole as he reached the front door was priceless!
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks!!!👍👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Just putting it out there. But I hope you plan to do Home alone 3.
'who would have their child running behind them'
you're asking this of the parents who - in both movies - saw the elder brother bully and humiliate their youngest son and then blamed him for acting in response to bullying and then to bring up the fact that they didn't care enough about him in the first film to check properly and use that as a way to guilt him into doing as they wanted.
you're not dealing with good people when you're talking about the McCallisters
Oh and I got that tape player and microphone recorder one Christmas, I used it so much I worn down the entire thing, from the tape reader to the microphone, it was so cool for me as a kid lol
Macaulay Culkin wants to have a re release of HA2 where he digitally replaces 45 and gives directions to his younger self.
I believe Marv getting hit in the head by the bricks was why he never noticed the huge hole right in front of him until he stepped forward and fell right into the basement.
That’s similar to what happened in the original when he didn’t notice the glass ornaments on the floor until he stepped on them barefoot, after he’d been hit in the face by the iron.
A concussion will do that
I've seen these 2 Home Alone movies many times but watching it with you made me laugh as much as I did the first time seeing them, maybe more.
Oh that's so nice to hear. Thank you for watching
Marv's scream at 17:16 cracks me up with bursting tears of laughter
Yeah it's great
Hey James I just want to say Happy Holidays and God bless you for just bringing nice wholesome reactions. Your relaxed attitude is how movies should be enjoyed. Thank you and I hope you and your family have a wonderful end of the year:)
Well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Good tidings to you and yours.
I LOVE THIS REACTION AND THIS MOVIE!
I've been waiting a whole year for this!
Love this one just as much as the first. Of course Tim Curry being in it helps. If you haven't seen The Santa Clause 1 & 2 yet, I definitely recommend them. 🎄🎅
6:34 my man! 🇺🇸
Tim Curry was a great addition to the sequel.
Daniel Stern, who played Marv, directed (and starred in) Rookie of the Year and was released the year after Home Alone 2. If you haven't watched it yet it's a great baseball comedy
Give him the high stinking chedder!! ❤ ROTY
Marv's scream is my whole childhood😁
FYI sir, this is one of "those" sequels that are especially maligned by critics; one that attempts to carve out a formula derived from the path of the first one, in both tone and story beats and even character development, but attempts to be less obvious by changing the location and uping the ante at points. Hangover 2 and Die Hard 2 are both infamous for this.
EDIT: Never mind; you called it.
I've seen some people say this movie is awful because it seems Kevin is actively trying to kill Marv and Harry. It's not intended to be realistic though -- it's clearly a child's fantasy. I grew up with the first two Home Alone movies and love them both.
I like this movie more than the first. Takes me back. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
The Home Alone movies (well mostly their third acts) are basically Bugs Bunny cartoons. I don't mind that many of those are the same plot...Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam want to catch Bugs. Each time it's just in a different setting and the gags are different or given a twist. I'm here for it. I'm also here for both Home Alone movies, but not any of the later ones.
Best Regards!
Someone needs to make Home Alone into a real horror movie because those traps 🤣🤣🤣💀
Electrocution doesn’t mean “death”. You can be electrocuted and live. I don’t know why people have recently started saying the definition of “electrocute” is “death by electricity”. That’s weird for someone your age to think. Normally it’s the kids these days.
You're having the time of your life here. 🤣
There are so many funny scenes in these movies and this one had some great supporting characters. I think I might have to make a shirt that says Sprinkles of Death and Mayhem😂😂😂
Love seeing you laugh so much while watching these films. Kevin is quite a Bad A** kid 😅
Goofs as we go:
1. Burglars arrested in Chicago, IL wouldn't be in jail in New York.
Twice as many pearls are on the ground than Kevin pulled off the neckless.
That brick Kevin dropped on Marv would have killed him.
Given the evaporative nature of kerosene, the volatility would be so low, the rope would barely light, if at all.
2. They went Hollywood and recent versions eliminated the Donnald Trump scene.
3. Tim Curry😁
4. Mr. Duncan/Eddie Bracken also played Roy Walley in "Vacation"
5. This was funny but, Kevin being mean was a little turnoff.
Marv looks like a clown 14:56
The rest of them are amazing I grew up to all of them it is my favorite Christmas franchise
If this was made today. Kevin would at least have a cell phone and he would take a photo of the crooks with all their injuries and post it on Instagram.
My favorite part of this movie is the revelation that Harry and Marv are immortal beings.
Right!!!
Fun fact: when they were filming the bird scene with all the birds and the feed the actor who was playing Marv actually had a bird in his mouth when they were doing the scene
laughing again with you mate nice reaction
Fun fact, a once great band called Brand New named one of their songs off one of my favorite album of theirs Deja Entendu off a line from this movie. "Okay, I Believe You, but My Tommy Gun Don't." Yeah, their lead singer was not a great dude at all, which is sad. I still love the album, is that weird?
James, thank you for that reaction, You are awesome! I, like your sons, never appreciate sequels that are mere reproductions of the originals, but you made this movie far more enjoyable with your reactions. Your genuine belly laughs are contagious 🤣🤣🤣.
Love the channel, keep em coming. Thanks again, this made my morning.
Thanks James... nice name you got there. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
@@AwesomeUSMovies 🤣 I’ve always liked it. It’s served me well.
Ironically, I too grew up without much TV, (lived in a valley and only got 1 channel of reception), but I fully embraced VHS and watched many many movies. I began enjoying books later in life. I never enjoyed reading as a kid.
I had one of them talkboys loved it
It sure looked like a fun toy.
I read that there is a specially cut version that is aired in Canada. It has removed the Trump in the hotel scene.
Not just Canada has done that, it's kinda ridiculous. I feel like his cameo is hilarious regardless.
He's All Jittery!
This is definitely Looney Tunes style comedy. The last of John Hughes true run making good movies.
This one is more violent and cartoonish.
