This movie was quite a big deal in Sweden, because of the guy that played “Kozlow”, Michael Nyqvist- it was supposed to be his jump to Hollywood fame after the success of the OG Swedish “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”-movies so a lot of people watched it here, he came to be in international movies like John Wick, Mission Impossible...

Regarding the Jaimie Lee Curtis/ Sigourney Weaver problem that Adam had. I read a paper in college about blocking words. From what I can remember: Your brain, when going through the process of recalling a word, will very quickly go through a process of throwing out words and stopping at the correct one. Now acknowledging the correct word, your brain puts a shunt on recollection and moves on to whatever problem solving function it was heading toward. That correct word is the "blocking word." Rarely, the brain will recognize an incorrect word as the blocking word, and it will not allow you to go back to the process of recollection. You'll know it's wrong, but it will persist as the word your looking for. Adam started with Jaimie (Lee Curtis), and then couldn't recall the name of an actress he definitely knew. I could be wrong. It was a while ago since I read the paper, and I'm not a psychologist.
Interesting. I get her mixed up with Susan Sarandon, for different reasons (similar hair, character types, both first names start with S...) but I've definitely experienced this too, cool to know where it comes from
It sounds like something that our brain would do. It's sturdily built but takes many, many shortcuts when it comes to shit we don't need to survive. Bastard.
At first I thought this movie would be cool, because finding out your parents abducted you at a young age is a really interesting concept with lots of nuances to explore. And then it got stupid
Same here I remember watching the trailer and actually being interested in the drama of being a kidnapped child who had no idea. It's a very intriguing concept and ripe for poignant drama. Then it suddenly turned into an action movie. Glad to see I didn't miss anything by judging it from the trailer.
Weird fact: IRL Taylor Lautner’s parents are both white with German, French and Dutch ancestry, although with distant Native American roots. The craziest shit Twilight has done is convince the world that Taylor Lautner is actually full-blooded Native American.

I had to rent breaking dawn just to line it up with how fuckin' hilarious the commentary was. I just HAD to see the details for myself, even knowing how preposterous the end gets.
Taylor Lautner is being chased by (generic mafia/CIA agency/abusive parent) because he (is a murder witness/has a pendrive with confidential information/stole something) and in the process they murder (his girlfriend/his family/his dog) so now he (seeks revenge/seeks the truth/seeks to escape). Combine any of these generic trope options and you have every Taylor Lautner movie after Twilight.
@@commenter_HIMIK-MAN I prefer Kristen Stewart, only because of how even more funny it would. Especially since there’s people out there who are campaigning that.

I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear ba
That last half of your comment is pretty much the plot of Life is Strange: Before the Storm, just replace meth with heroin. Adum actually played it, it's a fucking hilarious playthru.
Dumb fact: The scenes for the baseball game at 16:28 was shot on August 22, 2010, in the bottom of the third inning. You could tell as it's the Pirates facing the Mets, with Ronny Cedeno for the Pirates (#13) on first, Zach Duke in the #57 is batting and running to first base, the Mets' Ruben Tejada (#11) is covering first, and the Mets seem to be fucking up a play in the infield. The only season where Duke & Tejada would've faced off when they were members of those teams would be 2010. Given that Duke is a pitcher, he only played in a total of 29 games that year. Out of those 29, his only start against the Mets at PNC Park (the Pirates' home stadium) was on August 22nd. And you can tell this is the bottom of the third inning as that was the only inning that Cedeno got on base all game, and this play in particular is the 2nd out of the inning, as the Mets let Duke's pop-up bunt fall to the ground. However, as Cedeno made the mistake of going back to first, thinking the pop-up would be caught, the Mets were able to get the force out at 2nd. Thank BaseballReference for this btw.
I'll never cease to be amazed by people's ability to make baseball sound complicated as hell. I couldn't imagine following any sport closely enough to know who played how many games or what they did during particular innings. Even weirder, people have gotten in bloody barfights over this stuff. Guaranteed someone has had a chair smashed over their head because a guy 99.9% of people have never heard of and who has no relation to the victim hit a ball with a stick. This species is _fucked_ up.
7:59 How are you NOT able to remember Sigourney Weaver's name? Her defining feature is how fucking weird her name is. How unique it is should make it easier to remember, surely.
@@markiangooley Her legal name is still Susan actually. Also how does Mr. "We should make more trailers like original Alien" does not remember her for literally ANYTHING ELSE
Honestly it's gotta suck to be propelled to fame so quickly as a teen and then drop off by the time you're in your mid-20s. It's not well studied because it isn't something that just happens to the average person but there definitely has to be some severe psychological repercussions.
Literally every expression Taylor makes is awkward, it's hilarious but it does make me wonder how anybody ever thought he would be good for a leading role lol
This commentary track unlocked the memory in my mind that I have actually seen this movie in theatres. What brought it all back was him passed out drunk on the grass right at the start. I guess it made an impression on me lol

They did a showing of this film at my university with the director (Taylor mysteriously wasn’t there) it was very hard not to ask them why they didn’t make a better movie during the Q&A
I hate the trope of "Bomb blows up, everyone runs, they get thrown by the explosion" If the explosion was powerful enough to lift you up and fling you like that, you are already dead because it also ruptured several organs and blood vessels inside of you.
@@goingunder2548 Doubt it, unless the fire is really close and they stay there for hours. Water takes a long time to start boiling. Water is a very good heat conductor, meaning that all the swimming pool would have to be heated up. That takes a rather long time. It takes roughly four minutes to make two liters of water to boil over an open fire in a metal pan. An entire swimming pool would take several hours inside an inferno to bring it all to boil. Would mostly likely have evaporated a quarter of it or so before that.
I love how they have Launter ruin his ankle falling off the rail to him standing and walking normally when he was offered to live with his psychologist/counciler to him limping off in the credits
I've inexplicably known the exact spelling to Sigourney Weaver's name ever since I watched Alien's special features or whatever at 6, it makes me irrationally angry that Adam can't do the same.
I wanted to be nice and say that Taylor Lautner at least seems to be doing a better job acting than in the Twilight series and then I got to the action scene and I wanna take these thoughts back
A friend and I were just talking about this movie at work holy shit. Or more accurately Taylor Lautner's acting career and direction, also that editing with the Shawn meme but Nathan instead is great
Cuckoo is an ok british sitcom and Taylor is actually good in it, he found a role that really suits him. I only watched one season I think, idk how far along its now
You know at first I didn't like the whole "sit down and talk about the movie as you watch it" vibe but I swear you guys have such a weirdly attractive chemistry. You slowly sucked me in and now I'm an avid fan of this stuff.
Can we talk about how there was a shooting outside of a major league ballpark and nobody batted an eye? There was a shooting near the Phillies/Padres game this year and it sent the stadium into a panic inside. People running onto the field and into the dugout for safety. The grandstands being cleared en masse. In what world post-Columbine would a shooting near a fully occupied baseball stadium (something Pittsburgh hasn't seen in years) not result in general panic?
There are laws on international waters. You are bound by the laws of a country your boat is registered. Thats why most cruise ships are registered in Panama so they don't have to pay minimum wage
Probably the most tragic part of this fiasco is this was director John Singleton’s final movie. Yes, the man who directed Poetic Justice and Boyz N the Hood. Freakin’ tragedy.

What happened
@@shrek9274 Scott sadly passed away a couple months ago , a brain aneurysm in his sleep .
Honestly if I had been abducted as a child and was living in that home I'd just say fuck it this is my family now. Why risk finding your real parents who you now have to live with, only for them to be meth heads. "Yes! I no longer have to have a good education and prospects! I now sell drugs for my dad!"
That would probably be a better movie, sadly. 😄
I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear ba
That last half of your comment is pretty much the plot of Life is Strange: Before the Storm, just replace meth with heroin. Adum actually played it, it's a fucking hilarious playthru.
@@AxxLAfriku … Are you okay?
I dunno, I think you'd instantly assume that your adoptive parents were kidnappers, and stop feeling safe in their house.
"'cause you got SUPER ADOPTED." As someone who actually is adopted... this was absolutely hilarious. :D
*"Send my hate-mail to my grave."*

Dumb fact: The scenes for the baseball game at 16:28 was shot on August 22, 2010, in the bottom of the third inning. You could tell as it's the Pirates facing the Mets, with Ronny Cedeno for the Pirates (#13) on first, Zach Duke in the #57 is batting and running to first base, the Mets' Ruben Tejada (#11) is covering first, and the Mets seem to be fucking up a play in the infield.
The only season where Duke & Tejada would've faced off when they were members of those teams would be 2010. Given that Duke is a pitcher, he only played in a total of 29 games that year. Out of those 29, his only start against the Mets at PNC Park (the Pirates' home stadium) was on August 22nd. And you can tell this is the bottom of the third inning as that was the only inning that Cedeno got on base all game, and this play in particular is the 2nd out of the inning, as the Mets let Duke's pop-up bunt fall to the ground. However, as Cedeno made the mistake of going back to first, thinking the pop-up would be caught, the Mets were able to get the force out at 2nd.
Thank BaseballReference for this btw.
I'll never cease to be amazed by people's ability to make baseball sound complicated as hell. I couldn't imagine following any sport closely enough to know who played how many games or what they did during particular innings. Even weirder, people have gotten in bloody barfights over this stuff. Guaranteed someone has had a chair smashed over their head because a guy 99.9% of people have never heard of and who has no relation to the victim hit a ball with a stick.
This species is _fucked_ up.
I can only imagine over half the audience checking out over the "kill every friend on facebook" line.
I will now only refer to pregnancy as having a bomb in the oven
The first credit in the cast is for "CIA man"
Taylor Lautner looking more out of place in this family than that crying kid from Hereditary
I watched this in theaters.
I was really bored that day and I thought Alien Lady would be in it more.
Correction: We're all gonna die before Adum finishes Synecdoche
So Gael's brother is the chad... I feel like that's a good Gael-Lore tidbit
"I made one tiny colossal mistake."
I don't think you know how words work, chief.
Who's gonna tell them that the ageing technology actually exists and is actually used to find missing kids.
Let alone the fact reality has better aging technology lol
7:59 How are you NOT able to remember Sigourney Weaver's name? Her defining feature is how fucking weird her name is. How unique it is should make it easier to remember, surely.
Susan Alexandra Weaver originally. I guess Sigourney is more memorable, except in this case it isn’t.
@@markiangooley Her legal name is still Susan actually. Also how does Mr. "We should make more trailers like original Alien" does not remember her for literally ANYTHING ELSE
This movie follows like a damn fanfiction
Holy shit this played at my school and the memories are flooding back
I love how Adum couldn't remember Sigourney Weaver's name even though it was in the opening credits.
7:22 - Taylor fucking rotating into the pool from the explosion killed me.
I feel like Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl would be a good Taylor Lautner movie to watch.
Kinda sad that this guy never made a comeback like robert pattinson
Team Jacob lost, now he's gonna be fed to the wolves.
Honestly it's gotta suck to be propelled to fame so quickly as a teen and then drop off by the time you're in your mid-20s. It's not well studied because it isn't something that just happens to the average person but there definitely has to be some severe psychological repercussions.
Literally every expression Taylor makes is awkward, it's hilarious but it does make me wonder how anybody ever thought he would be good for a leading role lol
Or any role at all
The most unrealistic thing is the amount of people at a Pirates game.
Well now I take it back.
Adum struggling with Alien lady's name was adorable.
As a Sigourney, I seriously don't blame him xddd
@@Sigourneyporpoise you’re named tht too? Lol
"Baek baek! Ugh..."
"Sorry, are you trying to bark?"
"I'mma wolf, I'll show you! Awooo..."
I don't know why this broke me so hard, but it did. XD
This commentary track unlocked the memory in my mind that I have actually seen this movie in theatres.
What brought it all back was him passed out drunk on the grass right at the start. I guess it made an impression on me lol
Exactly the same for me lol
I totally deleted this movie from my mind (thank god)
1:48 Missed a Wolf/Dog whistling joke opportunity guys. Best low hanging fruit.
Thank you so so much Adam. I had to stop being a patron as I balance supporting myself and family and my own hopes of creating.. my cat.. anyway I hope you know how cherished your content is to us who watch religiously, especially the pals.. you deserve all the support however we can give it as an audience, and I hope someday I can directly contribute again sometime soon!
It's funny they make Alfred Molina go "Get me pictures of Spiderman!" seeing as he is Doctor Octopus.
And he even owes his villain name to Jameson (in that continuity)
They did a showing of this film at my university with the director (Taylor mysteriously wasn’t there) it was very hard not to ask them why they didn’t make a better movie during the Q&A
honestly you guys are my favorite movie commentary group of all time
I hate the trope of "Bomb blows up, everyone runs, they get thrown by the explosion"
If the explosion was powerful enough to lift you up and fling you like that, you are already dead because it also ruptured several organs and blood vessels inside of you.
Also wouldn't the water in that swimming pool literally boil them alive if the fire was that close to it?
@@goingunder2548 Doubt it, unless the fire is really close and they stay there for hours. Water takes a long time to start boiling.
Water is a very good heat conductor, meaning that all the swimming pool would have to be heated up. That takes a rather long time.
It takes roughly four minutes to make two liters of water to boil over an open fire in a metal pan. An entire swimming pool would take several hours inside an inferno to bring it all to boil. Would mostly likely have evaporated a quarter of it or so before that.
I love how they have Launter ruin his ankle falling off the rail to him standing and walking normally when he was offered to live with his psychologist/counciler to him limping off in the credits
I always enjoy a good Adum & Pals
"Super adopted" and "send my hate mail to my grave" are stand outs here
I've inexplicably known the exact spelling to Sigourney Weaver's name ever since I watched Alien's special features or whatever at 6, it makes me irrationally angry that Adam can't do the same.
I know right, I've remembered her name after I watched Alien fuckin years ago
“Send my hate mail to my grave” needs to be on a t shirt
I wanted to be nice and say that Taylor Lautner at least seems to be doing a better job acting than in the Twilight series and then I got to the action scene and I wanna take these thoughts back
at least he does a lot of his own stunts ??? that’s kinda cool
Fun fact, that river isn't muddy, it's full of iron and mine runoff
Also, how dare they disgrace my city with this shitty film
"What if instead of Sigourney Weaver is Sugoffme weiner?"
Nick Mullen, probably
A friend and I were just talking about this movie at work holy shit. Or more accurately Taylor Lautner's acting career and direction, also that editing with the Shawn meme but Nathan instead is great
Adum: "I love Abs-duction"
I would die for Scoot.

Huh, that’s weird Adum. This still isn’t a Dune review
Where’s your Dune review?
@@WinstonOfDojima where's yours?
Where's mine for that matter?
What’s your obsession with having a Dune review? You saw it right? Are you afraid to have an opinion about it without vetting it through yms?
@@stephengehly2319 Obvi
@Mario well, but models look good aaaand that movie did indeed looked very good. I guess we can say this worked
Cuckoo is an ok british sitcom and Taylor is actually good in it, he found a role that really suits him. I only watched one season I think, idk how far along its now
You know at first I didn't like the whole "sit down and talk about the movie as you watch it" vibe but I swear you guys have such a weirdly attractive chemistry. You slowly sucked me in and now I'm an avid fan of this stuff.
I really wish we saw Taylor Lottner in more things! He's a pretty descent actor and not gonna lie, would bang 10/10.
Hearing Adam struggle to remember Sigourney weaver's name was what I needed today
Can we talk about how there was a shooting outside of a major league ballpark and nobody batted an eye?
There was a shooting near the Phillies/Padres game this year and it sent the stadium into a panic inside. People running onto the field and into the dugout for safety. The grandstands being cleared en masse.
In what world post-Columbine would a shooting near a fully occupied baseball stadium (something Pittsburgh hasn't seen in years) not result in general panic?
We're just not gonna talk about how that was Phil Collins' daughter playing "love interest" (TM)?
The makeout scene from this movie has 30 million views on youtube
Dang even with Adum and pals making funny commentary, what I saw of the movie was painfully boring. I feel bad for Taylor’s acting career.
Taylor Lautner => Brendan Fraser.
There are laws on international waters. You are bound by the laws of a country your boat is registered. Thats why most cruise ships are registered in Panama so they don't have to pay minimum wage
Lautner looks like the kid you'd be fine having work on the farm, but you don't wanna leave him alone in the chicken coop.
Probably the most tragic part of this fiasco is this was director John Singleton’s final movie. Yes, the man who directed Poetic Justice and Boyz N the Hood. Freakin’ tragedy.
The most unrealistic thing in this movie is a sold out Pittsburgh Pirates game.
14:01 That was, indeed, hilarious.
It looked like he dabbed as he was being thrown out
