imagine the dead child in the beginning just hated baseball and his dad forced him to play, and when he told his had he didnt want to play anymore his dad took off his training wheels and shoved him directly into oncoming traffic
Stan is THE writing mood tho. Typing two words and saying “screw it, I’m outta here?” That is the most relatable thing about writing I’ve ever seen in a movie tbh
Every time I sit down to write and then give up without getting much done I can hear Danny say “Stan’s not writing shit today”. Stan is a little too relatable at times 😅
"The night was..." is my favorite movie example, from _Throw Mama From The Train_ "The night was hot, wait no, the night, the night was humid. The night was humid, no wait, hot, hot. The night was hot. The night was hot and wet, wet and hot." & it goes on from there, eventually ending up with -spoiler- sultry lol
What a twisted prick! Killing a boy and just watching the couple in pain. He even has the balls to ask “which one is yours?” To a middle aged man watching a baseball game.
The rest of the movie absolutely should have been Stan’s ever-increasing rage at his continued failed attempts to destroy the lamp. It should have been like a Warner bros cartoon and he gets bigger tools each time like a jackhammer and then a steamroller and industrial shredders, like he has to literally drive to these locations, and each time the wife just slaps her forehead, riding along with him in the car, saying “Stan no stop it”
I'm pretty sure it's the plot of one of the episodes of Amazing World Of Gumball Spoiler It ends with them trying to destroy the thing with whatever machinery is used to destroy cars And it fails
tearfully begging him "Stan no, Stan wait, stop it, Stan-" and like, just kind of half-heartedly jogging behind his car as he's driving (in my head, he is driving so slowly that she is actually kind of keeping pace with him, if not just like, 15 feet behind the car)
“See? It’s just a lamp! Nothing magical about it!” Stan says as he chucks the lamp into an active volcano, only to walk back to his car and see it buckled up in the backseat.
@frankisnot1148 yeah it was a super ugly vase gifted by their grandparents, in the end it breaks by Nicole just dropping it, that's when they learn it was filled with someone's ashes
so THIS is part three in drews sequels that arent sequels series. you can tell because the actor is completely different and the plot has nothing to do with the other entries.
I think they are all great, I just hope they release a DVD of all of them in one. That would be great! Especially if it's on BLURAY. It would bring my family together for many laughs at our Valentine's dinner, maybe they will finally stay to. I just wish the free candy here actually tasted good, they say I'm not even supposed to taste it and just swallow it, what boring candy.
If he's written successful books already he has passive income from the sales of those books. I'm guessing that a publisher wouldn't be bugging him to finish a book if it's his first one.
It’s adorable that Danny cries everytime the little girl gets adopted and is so mad about crying about it, but not because he thinks it makes him look weak, but because he thinks the movie isn’t worth crying over
Danny is unironically more strong than any “alpha male” RUclips channel… because he doesn’t even have to try. He doesn’t have to put on a front of strength and confidence, he just naturally is confident and unafraid to be goofy or cry or care if people think he’s not masculine for it. He’s just himself and chill and it speaks volumes about his confidence, unlike alphas who are obsessed with how they’re being perceived.
Plot twist: Stan is actually so emotionally unstable because he is worried that the police will find out that he intentionally pushed his son into oncoming traffic where Sam ran him over.
@@silly_.rabbit2 Miss Esther’s totally in on it- she probably tips him off about what house to go to, and he just spies on them until they rub the lamp. And then he just hoofs it over there as fast as possible
imagine if the janitor was the guy who did a hit-and-run that killed the kid. so he was at the funeral knowing what he did and checked up on him through the movie, and hired the genie to help the dad
I know... I think the janitor is secretly behind everything and he’s just weaving his web of manipulation the whole time😂😭 I have to believe he has evil intentions lmfao
That scene where Charles is making toast is probably the most realistic scene in the movie. I feel like any old person with a really cheery mood would compliment their own toast to themself.
The flashback really implies that the dad took off the training wheels for the first time and then immediately just pushed him right into oncoming traffic, like the dad definitely killed the kid and it just doesn't say it outright
@@TheDonutMan3000 LMAO parenting is a learning experience. My dad taught me how to ride a bike in a not so busy street and I went face first into a mailbox.
There is one good thing about this movie. Stan has good character consistency. You know something will happen, and he will get angry, throw something and storm away.
That’s the part of this movie that really got me. Stan is explicitly depicted as being an abusive husband and is emotionally volatile because he won’t allow himself to overcome his grief. THAT should have been the solution. The movie should have ended with Stan realizing this and working on processing his grief, but the way it’s actually written, it seems like Stan is only okay because he replaced his dead son and got a new kid who he can project onto.
Plot twist: Charles is just Ester's husband that she sent to help the family, and whenever he "disappears" he just crouches behind the nearest object and hides.
Then one day you wake up in a horse drawn carriage, one if the 4 other gentlemen say to you "finally, your awake, you were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into an ambush same as us..."
I THINK that since she was a foster kid so maybe she was mixing up stan yelling with a traumatic experience with someone abusing her? Idk. My bst guess.
Theory: the lamp/Stan/Charles/jagey1iteluwfhdus is messing with his life and makes stuff happen to worsen his life and consequentially persuade him to make the wish/try to better his lofe
When Stan is standing up after giving away the glove, holding his chest, like a bunch of scenarios went through my head including but not limited to; "fuck my heartburn is back" and "his heart grew three sizes that day-"
Theory: Sam is the one who hit Eddie with his car and he died in the car crash too. Sam was at the cemetery because he felt so bad about his demise of Eddie. Sam decides to try to inspire Stan and he does his job. He does not work at the cemetery or the park he works at a factory and he was coming home from work in that outfit. I'm getting wayyyy to into this
I like how they also gloss over the whole “youre a creepy old guy always watching our baseball games why “ and stan just is like “tHATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” like how is that.. not their business
i feel like we brushed over the whole “and you don’t hit people” bit in this awful movie way too quickly. josh was implied to have a whole storyline of being violently abused and then it was never brought up again, stan just decides to adopt josh in the end like HUH?
red flag- indeed. Throwing something is the first step to abuse. Her flinching means he’s done it before or that she feels at risk of being harmed, absolutely abuse. It’s not okay and it makes me hate this movie.
Swindel I never said or implied that they intended for it to come across that way. In fact, them never addressing his temper tantrums is enabling of abusers whether they intended it or not:
Am I the only one who flinches all the time, just because? Like, I keep going through the comments saying the flinching is a red flag, so I guess I just flinch more than the average person lmao
okay but why is nobody talking about the part at 20:20 where josh mentions him hitting her when he didn’t? Is that ever explained in the movie or is it just a very weird moment?
Okay this movie definitely is weird, but that scene of Charles smiling at the door was adorable and made me instantly love him. Also Danny's reenactment of that cracked me up lol ALSO also, I like to think those two Danny's went on to play the RE2 remake together as zombies.
This movie actually didn’t seem that bad compared to other ones he’s reacted to on this channel. I didn’t find the plot holes or writing to be too awful. Again, watching bad movie commentary from him and Drew and Kurtis probably set the bar low lol
@@killerqueendopamine depends on how you take it, I think most of the top comments being heavily annoyed with Stan just getting a redemption arc after 2 years of being an asshole paints the picture.
I legitimately thought the coach was gonna take his shirt off and give it to Stan. Like "well, if you're the coach now you get to wear the oversized blue pollo"
24:54 So they adopt her, and then one day she picks up rollerskating or smth and Stan pushes her into the road and she gets hit by a car and dies. The Lamp 2 "Oh no, he did it again"
I have a theory that Sam and Charles are the same type of “Messenger” and it was initially Sam’s job to coach Stan and Charles’ job to coach Lisa (the lamp is actually not relevant at all to his appearing), which is why Charles disappeared when Stan came into the room initially. But Sam failed so hard at trying to convince Stan to move on that Charles decided he needed to appear to Stan and help him as well as Lisa
@@calowenby1654 Checking IMDB, this movie has a lot of folks who have been really good actors. I'm assuming everyone in this thing just needed a quick paycheck. Which I don't begrudge. They're being a lot more responsible with their finances than Stan.
"At least I'm not a crazy dog guy. I've seen you at our practices talking to your dog" Honey, the man sits at a ball field watching a bunch of little girls. Talking to his dog is the least of his problems.
Connor Brown the very beginning wasn’t so bad, even the camera work was ok. (Perhaps also because no one was talking) But it went bad very fast. Around the time of the grainy flashback they started to lose me and then when he goes to the baseball field alone to creepily watch other people’s kids was where it took a nose dive for me.
honest to god this movie would be better if the genie messenger man was like "You can have anything you want in life..." and then starts pitching a pyramid scheme
Danny after Lisa introduces Charles: You can't just introduce someone like that! Stan doesn't know who he is. Also Danny: (introduces Ms. Esther out of the blue as though we've met her before)
Stanley is literally just abusive??? He makes her feel guilty for asking him about the book and the garage, intimidates her by using violence (e.g. destroying the lamp) and just in general yells a bit too much
Comrade ShadowKat the girl screamed out saying that whole you hit me thing but it really didn’t make sense. Like if she called the authorities sure but they just wrote it in
My theory is that it is supposed to be a hint that she was abused in her previous living situation. I only think that because of how Stan reacts to her saying that. Still, it's poorly written if that is what they're trying to communicate.
Grief is so difficult to process. When my boyfriend died… me, his mother and father, and brothers all handled it very differently. It’s been a year and half, and while I see his father occasionally he’s told me it hurts to be around me because it reminds me to much of his son. His mother and I grab coffee and catch up at least once a month. There were times in the first few months after he died that there was short tempers and lashing out, especially from his dad. I know the dad in this movie was an asshole, but having gone through a death myself I can understand it. He knows deep down how cruel he’s being but I know how it feels to be imprisoned in your own grief.
The part with stan destroying the lamp with a hammer and the emotion in the wife's voice when she tells him to stop really saddens me, and I'm not joking.
You really feel for her. She's trying to heal and Stan is an abusive dick to her and yet we're supposed to root for him. Losing a child is certainly traumatizing and mourning is fine. Stan is abusive and that's a different story. I would've been much happier with the ending if it ended with Lisa leaving him for the sake of her own happiness so she can heal and Stanley mourning in peace, possibly getting therapy, and then learning to accept the death gradually and growing as a person. Realistically none of this is healthy because I doubt that adopting a child is going to fix all of your relationship issues. You are just bringing a kid into your home and putting them in the crossfire of you're fights. It's just a bad movie.
honestly the part where he goes to write his book in the garage really hit me. its exactly like what my dad used to do, and the movie depicting that was quite a suprise
@@stephanienader7604 yes and no While she’s trying to help I think she’s being to blunt and forceful about it and to him She’s going crazy by talking to a non existent person he’s confused and upset she’s acting like the lamp will save him And to him the lamp is just a lamp he thinks his wife is insane forcing him to move on and the lamp is his new saviour If she or he got him a therapist I would have been much easier
@@Arch-lv7oe yeah well if he truly thinks his wife is going crazy with grief it ain't a right strategy to yell and physically threaten her so she stops tbh. Also like she lost a kid, too. But she has to process her grief or otherwise they'll starve
Okay, so Sam was first seen in the graveyard in a janitorial suit. He was then spotted again- in the same outfit- on the baseball field to give Stan advice. He appears to have no purpose other than to help Stan with life changing words. So with my impeccable detective skills, I have gathered that Sam must be Stan’s *cue drumroll* FAIRY GODMOTHER!!! But don’t worry, he’s not a genie, because that would be terrible.
Man, you'd have to be a really shitty person to be given a janitor as your fairy godmother. At least he can bippity boppity boo your bathroom super nice.
I feel like this movie was originally a Christian movie but something happened in production that made then cut everything religious from it. Charles is clearly supposed to be a "messenger of God" and I bet Sam was also originally some holy being as well, a guardian angel or God himself perhaps. I bet there was just a ton of religious stuff cut from the movie in editing for an odd reason. I wonder if there was 2 releases, one religious and one not. It feels weird that someone would make a religious movie and then just cut it all out so far into development EDIT: IT IS! the movie is based on a book under the same name and the book is listed under Christian tags on Amazon. The writer had also previous made Christian movies. Why they cut all of that out is beyond me

@@eri83 Good job.
Theory: Sam is the one who hit Eddie with his car and he died in the car crash too. Sam was at the cemetery because he felt so bad about his demise of Eddie. Sam decides to try to inspire Stan and he does his job. He does not work at the cemetery or the park he works at a factory and he was coming home from work in that outfit. I'm getting wayyyy to into this
😂. How is a car hitting a bike a car crash lmao, other than that cool theory I guess the car could’ve gotten off course and hit a tree or something
Yeah I don't think a big truck hitting a bike would cause the truck to be damaged with enough force to kill the driver.
No, it's okay! I'm really liking your story!
@@Astronimus123 why you gotta be like that tho let the light shine on someone else
Maybe Sam was coming home from work in a smart car. That explains it!
I like how they also gloss over the whole “youre a creepy old guy always watching our baseball games why “ and stan just is like “tHATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” like how is that.. not their business
Because it's still none of their business duh.
*T h i c c* indeed
As a person who was a foster kid in the custody of a lot of creepy people. This makes my skin crawl.
I'm so sorry you went through that ❤
Why?
@@kellymurtagh-quinn8058probably bc stan was able to adopt josh after being horrible to her and watching her baseball games like a weirdo
i feel like we brushed over the whole “and you don’t hit people” bit in this awful movie way too quickly. josh was implied to have a whole storyline of being violently abused and then it was never brought up again, stan just decides to adopt josh in the end like HUH?
"This movie is from 2011. So 8 years ago" Not gonna lie, that hit me harder than any of the sad scenes in that movie

I was gonna correct you and say. "No, it came out 7 yrs ago." But then I realized it's 2019 T.T
Majestic Taco Cat but you’re right cuz it wont be 8 years until August of this year 👌🏽
Stan is literally checking all the boxes of an abusive husband. When Lisa flinched, that was a red sign.
red flag- indeed. Throwing something is the first step to abuse. Her flinching means he’s done it before or that she feels at risk of being harmed, absolutely abuse. It’s not okay and it makes me hate this movie.
@@jostewart3192 it's a terrible movie with bad actors I highly doubt they've added a domestic abuse undercurrent.
Swindel I never said or implied that they intended for it to come across that way. In fact, them never addressing his temper tantrums is enabling of abusers whether they intended it or not:
That's what death does to ya
Am I the only one who flinches all the time, just because? Like, I keep going through the comments saying the flinching is a red flag, so I guess I just flinch more than the average person lmao

This movie actually didn’t seem that bad compared to other ones he’s reacted to on this channel. I didn’t find the plot holes or writing to be too awful. Again, watching bad movie commentary from him and Drew and Kurtis probably set the bar low lol
@@killerqueendopamine so true, this movie seems pretty enjoyable (at least Danny's video about it, I'm not sure about the movie on its own)
@@killerqueendopamine depends on how you take it, I think most of the top comments being heavily annoyed with Stan just getting a redemption arc after 2 years of being an asshole paints the picture.

I-
And the oil lamp
Ouch.
Oof.
UNDERATED.
I have a theory that Sam and Charles are the same type of “Messenger” and it was initially Sam’s job to coach Stan and Charles’ job to coach Lisa (the lamp is actually not relevant at all to his appearing), which is why Charles disappeared when Stan came into the room initially. But Sam failed so hard at trying to convince Stan to move on that Charles decided he needed to appear to Stan and help him as well as Lisa
Stan is literally the most unlikable protagonist I ever seen
One word, Oscar
School days
Sierra Burgess is atleast the runner up though
I think the protags from loving the bad man and faith like potatoes r both worse :/
This movie sucks
To be fair, the man who plays Stan is not a bad actor, he played an abusive husband so well that he managed to make all of us despise him lol.
It still shocks me that he’s played by Pink from Dazed and Confused. I mean, I can see how they’re the same person, but still.
@@calowenby1654 Checking IMDB, this movie has a lot of folks who have been really good actors. I'm assuming everyone in this thing just needed a quick paycheck. Which I don't begrudge. They're being a lot more responsible with their finances than Stan.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, the guy looked quite convincing in almost every scene
Nobody cares but 1k is satisfying to press
@@Blwbelle you seem to care if you read the entire comment-
the lamp:
50% throwing things over shoulder
50% bouncin outta there
"At least I'm not a crazy dog guy. I've seen you at our practices talking to your dog"
Honey, the man sits at a ball field watching a bunch of little girls. Talking to his dog is the least of his problems.
I mean he is talking to a guy who vaguely knows him, but to him it’s just some random janitor who works everywhere for some reason
Somehow Stan leaves more places then he goes to
Tronald Dump I’m cry laughing at that 😂😂😂
Theory: Eddie did actually blow up. They live in a war zone and he accidentally rode his bike over a landmine and triggered it.

An entire movie based off a brief thought on the way to work.
The ATTIC DWELLERS right? I feel like it started out strong and then just lost steam
@@blairwaldorf-bass8180 It never started off strong...
Connor Brown the very beginning wasn’t so bad, even the camera work was ok. (Perhaps also because no one was talking) But it went bad very fast. Around the time of the grainy flashback they started to lose me and then when he goes to the baseball field alone to creepily watch other people’s kids was where it took a nose dive for me.
When Danny was like, “I bet you can’t guess how the kid died” I was like “he threw the kid in the street like he threw the training wheels!”
honest to god this movie would be better if the genie messenger man was like "You can have anything you want in life..." and then starts pitching a pyramid scheme
PITCHing lmfao..
The worst thing about this movie is that Stan doesn’t throw the lamp over his shoulder
Xap Ete shoulder
Xap Ete omg 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭 so true
Ahh yes, his soldier
Ikr lol 😂
Juan Melgar yep
Sam is OBVIOUSLY the previous santa that fell off the roof and died
Piotr Styliński when Santas die they become invisible ghost janitors that give advice to assholes who like to watch little girls play baseballs
Wonderful Times it’s a promotion!
Oh my god it’s perfect
Danny after Lisa introduces Charles: You can't just introduce someone like that! Stan doesn't know who he is.
Also Danny: (introduces Ms. Esther out of the blue as though we've met her before)

Man you can't joke like that, I lost my dog like that. My dog was riding my bike just like that I lost him.
Ikr! I'm currently watching this from the shark bike's stomach!, anyone else?
Is it just me, or is the scene where Stan puts his hand on his heart the most uncomfortable thing you've ever seen?
Expected a joke about him about to have a heart attack or something
The nurse side of me was wondering if it was chest pain
He didn’t even put his hand in the right place
evenif Y E S
I thought it was his heart growing three sizes like the Grinch
"Imagine if that just restarted his downward spiral again, stan just bounces out of there and goes to sleep in that guy's bed" oh my god im crying
Lila Dettelback I laughed out loud when he said that
XD
I can't even count how many times I rewatched this bit.
"spaAAARghk lightning"
14:31 at this point you'd think the lamp killed his kid
Stanley is literally just abusive??? He makes her feel guilty for asking him about the book and the garage, intimidates her by using violence (e.g. destroying the lamp) and just in general yells a bit too much
Thats literally excactly what i was thinking about.
I agree. I understand that he's grieving, but that's not excuse to treat his also grieving wife like shit.
He lost his kid
Next he will loose his Wife
And by that I mean
Divorce
sounds like my dad
@@striveforsuccessstudysmart3509 oof
I love how they never address the whole "you hit me" part
Like when did he hit you? Maybe I wasn't paying to much attention or something but I didn't see him hit her so that was weird.
Comrade ShadowKat the girl screamed out saying that whole you hit me thing but it really didn’t make sense. Like if she called the authorities sure but they just wrote it in
My theory is that it is supposed to be a hint that she was abused in her previous living situation. I only think that because of how Stan reacts to her saying that. Still, it's poorly written if that is what they're trying to communicate.
I’m dying
Either way, him throwing the lamp the way he did is a clear sign of abusive tendencies
Danny needs to make his own low budget confusing movie 10/10 would watch

Bump this up to the top of the comment section guy.
Let's call the movie 'Greg: I Believe You'. Then never mention anyone called Greg.
Lol this would be so funny
Grief is so difficult to process. When my boyfriend died… me, his mother and father, and brothers all handled it very differently. It’s been a year and half, and while I see his father occasionally he’s told me it hurts to be around me because it reminds me to much of his son. His mother and I grab coffee and catch up at least once a month. There were times in the first few months after he died that there was short tempers and lashing out, especially from his dad.
I know the dad in this movie was an asshole, but having gone through a death myself I can understand it. He knows deep down how cruel he’s being but I know how it feels to be imprisoned in your own grief.
The part with stan destroying the lamp with a hammer and the emotion in the wife's voice when she tells him to stop really saddens me, and I'm not joking.
You really feel for her. She's trying to heal and Stan is an abusive dick to her and yet we're supposed to root for him. Losing a child is certainly traumatizing and mourning is fine. Stan is abusive and that's a different story. I would've been much happier with the ending if it ended with Lisa leaving him for the sake of her own happiness so she can heal and Stanley mourning in peace, possibly getting therapy, and then learning to accept the death gradually and growing as a person. Realistically none of this is healthy because I doubt that adopting a child is going to fix all of your relationship issues. You are just bringing a kid into your home and putting them in the crossfire of you're fights. It's just a bad movie.
honestly the part where he goes to write his book in the garage really hit me. its exactly like what my dad used to do, and the movie depicting that was quite a suprise
@@stephanienader7604 yes and no
While she’s trying to help I think she’s being to blunt and forceful about it and to him
She’s going crazy by talking to a non existent person he’s confused and upset she’s acting like the lamp will save him
And to him the lamp is just a lamp he thinks his wife is insane forcing him to move on and the lamp is his new saviour
If she or he got him a therapist I would have been much easier
@@Arch-lv7oe yeah well if he truly thinks his wife is going crazy with grief it ain't a right strategy to yell and physically threaten her so she stops tbh. Also like she lost a kid, too. But she has to process her grief or otherwise they'll starve

Okay, so Sam was first seen in the graveyard in a janitorial suit. He was then spotted again- in the same outfit- on the baseball field to give Stan advice. He appears to have no purpose other than to help Stan with life changing words. So with my impeccable detective skills, I have gathered that Sam must be Stan’s *cue drumroll* FAIRY GODMOTHER!!! But don’t worry, he’s not a genie, because that would be terrible.
Man, you'd have to be a really shitty person to be given a janitor as your fairy godmother.

Bacchus Leto Love your profile picture :)
Watchmen. Nice.
I feel like this movie was originally a Christian movie but something happened in production that made then cut everything religious from it. Charles is clearly supposed to be a "messenger of God" and I bet Sam was also originally some holy being as well, a guardian angel or God himself perhaps. I bet there was just a ton of religious stuff cut from the movie in editing for an odd reason. I wonder if there was 2 releases, one religious and one not. It feels weird that someone would make a religious movie and then just cut it all out so far into development
EDIT: IT IS! the movie is based on a book under the same name and the book is listed under Christian tags on Amazon. The writer had also previous made Christian movies. Why they cut all of that out is beyond me
Oh god.
You cracked the code dude
Because religious media is ass and they knew it
Sherlock's shaking. Amazing investigation, dude!
as someone who grew up watching weird Christian movies holy shit I totally see it
