I kind of really like the adult gamer character in this. How often do you see adult gamers in movies that aren't pathetic stereotypes? He's just a sweet, introverted dude. I went to college with people like him!
@@chasehedges6775 it actually would be interesting to see a Home Alone movie from an outsiders perspective. Like imagine if this movie was about Simon finding out what was happening at Finn’s house and him trying to find a way to save the kid
A few things I like about this movie: - I like the trap setup scene. The soundtrack is great, and that split-screen time-lapse shot is an interesting idea that wasn't done in the previous movies. - Another cool idea is that Finn is a gamer, so it makes sense that he would be creative enough to make all those traps. He'd probably be good at redstone in Minecraft. - The actors are pretty good. Obviously Malcolm McDowell is there, but I also think the angsty teen sister is kinda funny, and the mother is entertaining whenever she gets mad.
If only the people making the movie had any idea what to do with ideas. Except I disagree with the middle one. Home Alone is stupid. The entire setup is stupid. Trying to explain it just draws attention to it. People are accepting these people are stupid when they decide to watch it after reading the title. Everyone in the movie needs to be stupid in some way for any of the Home Alone movies to work.
The fact that they still made a Home Alone 5 even after how horrible the fourth movie. And for The Critic to predict Home Alone 5 would be awful, that cartoon was ahead of its time!
@@louisduarte8763 I think it’s because of the network and Matt Groening who didn’t like the show, caused the show to fail. I love Jon Lovitz and his role as Jay Sherman.
Plus that scene was shot in a professional way. Montage of the mugshots showing the damage Alex did to all of them along with the joke that they caught Alex’s chicken pox This was shot poorly and makes me question how the director of my favourite Bill & Ted movie could have fallen so far
I'm still wondering why almost every single Home Alone movie takes place at Christmastime. It's a tired setting. Wouldn't it be a bit refreshing if one of those machine-churned sequels was Halloween-themed? Come on, pranks, tricks, scary decorations, it's undiscovered gold.
Thats awesome. Or maybe 4th of July. Think of this scenario. A rope gets lit - one( or both) follow it to see where it leads because they're stupid- Opens a door where the rope goes under to find a Load of rockets pointing at them.
That's an interesting thought.. I think since the first movie made it Christmas theme to milk sympathy for the kid and family (because being alone on Christmas is pretty heartbreaking) the rest of the film's just tried to follow it's lead.. being alone on any other holiday is just not as sad/scary.
Actually this one could work perfect as a Halloween movie. Change a little the story to this kid being punished to not going to trick or treat, the parents go to a Halloween party... The whole Ghost thing is even better in that case
I absolutely HATE techno shaming in movies. Do people realize there's another person at the other end of the screen looking for connection? "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" got that right.
I think it's so refreshing to find people who actually enjoy this movie. I might not enjoy it, but I'm happy it definitely made someone happy watching it.
@@ChannelAwesome Well kindness can be found where you least expected I guess. More than anything I hope you and all of Channel Awesome and those you hold to your have a Merry Christmas. :)

I would love to have a new Home Alone sequel if they cast Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister. And either he's home alone due to depression or he's the burgler breaking into his childhood home.
Rob: "Oh. Looks like I'm home alone. It's not so bad." Brad: ::bursts through window: "Don't feel sad. I'll tell you about the 'Norm of the North Holiday Special." Rob: "Where's that paint can and rope?"
You have to admire Doug’s dedication to put up a Disneycember review every day throughout December as well as a new Nostalgia Critic every week and even finding the time and energy to do crossovers like with the Black Christmas review he did with Brad.
I felt that moment with the cats and the wrapping paper. After several years of living with either no cats or older cats, I am spending my first Christmas with a 1.5 year old cat with an insane amount of energy. I have been playing with him with crumpled wrapping paper balls.
Man you know what might have made this movie better, cut the young boy sibling off completely and have the big sister be the one Home Alone! Having an teen female as the protagonist would at least feel different, than just another annoying boy, which btw have been getting more and more annoying with every movie. Kevin was great because he was an outcast in his own giant family and was constantly bullied and made fun off, and that was relatable, outside of Alex in the third one, the rest are just entitled assholes!
honestly, I've been wanting for a home alone movie where the gimmick is the entire family make the traps together. I know that 4 KINDA ended with the siblings helping with one pratfall, but imagine if the entire third act had the family getting together to do it.
Home Alone 2 would have been better of they acknowledged the first movie not in the way they copied the first, but actually have the family discover what Kevin really did, and they could have had an awesome moment of Kevin being Home Alone only for Buzz to show up near the end and help with a trap. I think it could have been a powerful moment if it was only Buzz & Kevin it wouldn't have worked if it was the whole family it would have made the scene far to hammy. True Brothers can be like that they may even bully the younger siblings but if someone was threatening the younger kids even the bully Brothers would make a stand against the threat.
@@alexmapp5444 I think he respects that one too much to review it. Maybe one day he’ll make a review considering Doug has reviewed films he likes the last year and a half
@@LucyLioness100 well we’ll have to see you know the Sesame Street Movies? He tried to review the movie follow that bird but in the middle of it he broke down crying about how he couldn’t rip on such a thing as Sesame Street but years later as of last year he had no problem ripping on Elmo’s adventures in Grouchland.
I was hoping that the sister, Alexis would help Finn with the traps, but it was still up to Finn in the end with some added help from the kid next door. But Alexis was the one to confront two of the crooks and trap them in the safe room. The goal for Finn was not missing his family but getting over his fears and learning to expand his interests beyond video games. At the end it shows him beginning to do that. 5 is a smaller Home Alone and definitely not as classic, but I personally still find it entertaining. I will watch 1, 2, 3, and 5. 4 and 6 are the worse.
Parent: "You spend too much time in video games, go enjoy real life." Kid: (goes into real life) Parent: "How was it?" Kid: "that was the most unrealistic thing I've ever experienced. Aliens in Halo are more human than the neighbor."
I feel like a proper and final Home Alone movie would’ve been back in the 90s when John Hughes was still alive. The set up would be Kevin finally goes to Paris with his whole family. There he meets the French equivalents of Marv and Harry.
@@ChannelAwesomenext Nostalgia Critic reviews suggestions for Christmas : Arctic Dogs Looney Tunes Christmas Carol A Loud House Christmas Snowed In House of Mouse Saving Christmas Shelby - The dog who saved Christmas
The Critic predicted this. It wasn’t a Matt Groening show, but it was created by Simpsons producers and had some of the same staff. Matt Groening is not alone in predicting the future.
Here are my responses to the 5 Home Alone movies: Home Alone: Timeless classic! Home Alone 2: Pretty Good. Home Alone 3: Okay. Home Alone 4: God awful! Home Alone 5: Dull and uninterested. Home Alone 5 makes Home Sweet Home Alone look decent in concept. Even though I don't like that movie but it is closer than this one.
The funniest parts of your reviews are when you mock a character in the movie. You are one of the funniest people on this planet. Thank you for making these videos.
@@RYMAN1321 The 4th one, instead, rips off the original and has the creativity of dried paint, and the recent 2021 reboot is a fucking curse on all humankind.
I kinda love how they bought the guy the plane ticket like saying" hey we are sorry that we called the cops on you, causing damage to your appointment and mental stress done so here's a cheap plane ticket to your parents who we never asked if you like".
There is one good thing about all these Home Alone sequels being pumped out. They all make Home Alone 2 look much better as time goes by. Sure, 2 copied a lot of stuff the original did, but at least it's trying to do something ambitious by being bigger in scale.
Honestly, might be a hot take but I don’t think this movie is bottom of barrel bad. Plots meh but I laugh a good amount of times throughout the film. Especially the burglars, those three are acting legitimately well and have good chemistry
Here is my ranking of the 6 Home Alone Movies: 1.Home Alone-Christmas Holiday Classic! Best Christmas movie in my opinion! (No need to explain, you know it’s great and the best one!) 2.Home Alone 2:Lost in New York-Almost just as good as the first Home Alone, I consider it a classic as well! (Also no need to explain, it’s great in my opinion!) 3.Home Alone 3-Highly underrated movie! Not as good as “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2:Lost in New York” AT ALL, however it is SOMEWHAT fun to watch. In my opinion the traps are decent and this new kid character is actually okay! I also kinda like the whole dangerous evil spies trying to break in to find nuke chip plot! (At least they actually deserve it) In my opinion, this is a good/fine movie to watch once every year! 4.Home Alone 5:The Holiday Heist-I actually like this one a little bit more than “Home Sweet Home Alone”, however that doesn’t make it good. It’s overall just a big “MEH” movie in my opinion. Some traps are good, some are okay, some are..stupid. Just like Doug, I got a few laughs and a little enjoyment, but nothing more major than that. It’s a movie you watch once and forget about like 10 minutes after watching it. Then every year you just remind yourself “Oh yeah! That was a thing!” 5.Home Sweet Home Alone-This movie definitely could’ve been better, however what we got was not so great. The kid who is Home Alone is not likeable (the character in the movie), it focuses more on the “bad guys”, and the only reason the bad guys are even “breaking into” the kid’s house is because they thought he stole the doll that they could sell to keep their house, so when they go through the traps, you feel bad for them and so it’s just not fun or funny anymore. Although they did get the original actor of Buzz back for a small role, it is just not enough to save this movie. 6.Home Alone 4:Taking Back the House-MAN do I hate this movie. They actually had the audacity to bring back “Kevin” and “Marv” and the rest of the “family” to be played by different actors who don’t even look like them. Why didn’t they just have new characters!?? I also hate this new problem/plot where the dad is divorced from the mom, which is an unnecessary plot for a HOME ALONE movie!!
Here's mine: #1 - Home Alone (1990) #2 - Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992) #3 - Home Alone 3 (1997) #4 - Home Alone 5 (2012) #5 - Home Alone 4 (2002) #6 - 💀 *HOME SWEET HOME ALONE (2021)* 💀
So the Home Alone movies so far: 1 - Fairly good comedy movie. 2 - A bit of an aimless mess with some occasional well made moments. 3 - Bad. 4 - Not just bad but also boring. 5 - What the actual hell happened in here?
Can't wait for the next Home Alone: Meets Bob the tomato on a pogo stick while trying to climb Mount Kilimanjaro while six ice climbers no really their just innocent ice climbers go and fight Smokey the Bear while The Iron Giant returns back to earth to start a rock band with They Might Be Giants turns on them and says i can do it better than you and eats a pear in their face!
That cellar does have a bit of a Cask of Amontillado feel to it... Damn it, now I want to see a Home Alone movie written and directed by Edgar Allan Poe :P
I've been waiting for this one for years! And yet when you finally do the review, a new one comes out that's even worse than this one! Also, a side point, I really like the Christmas stock music you use this time of year. Despite being stock, the music you use makes me happy. It fits you and the show well!
Finn Baxter: I'm jumping on the sofa! Alexis Baxter: I don't care! Finn Baxter: I'm eating junk food! Alexis Baxter: I don't care! Finn Baxter: I broke the lamp! Alexis Baxter: I can't hear you and I don't care! Finn Baxter: I'm going to wipe out the universe! Alexis Baxter: I don't care!
Back when you did the review for Home Alone this year, I honestly thought THAT! was the 5th film. Color me shocked and scared when I found out that it was not only the 6th film, but to realize there was a 5th damn film. I’m terrified to know what happens (but it couldn’t as dreadful as a nice couple trying to save their house, right)? *hits play*
I’m so sad my favorite joke wasn’t in this review. After the swats knock out Simon, a later scene shows that he’s able to see Finn’s house on his TV to prove its not him, it’s the burglars. Then when the burglars are locked in the vault, it shows him and the swats celebrating after watching it. With CHINESE TAKEOUT! I love the visual of the swat team just sitting down and watching everything go down while eating food with some random guy they accused of kidnapping.
Ok better question why is the film on RUclips called HOME ALONE: THE HOLIDAY HEIST also why is the title in all caps did larry forget to take off the caps button again?
@@ChannelAwesome you said the character being in love with the snow was a girl. the character and actor is a boy. don't you think it is disrespectful calling him a girl? And if you're uncertain it would not hurt you to check it up dude, just FYI
@@believer4002 it's a small kid, genders can be confused. It's hardly "disrespectful" if a person can't tell a little kid's gender because they're not some obvious stereotype
4:34 😅So- close, to being the first person to use the Alexa voice command. As this film came out in 2012. And Alexa officially released just two years later in 2014. How-ever... "Alexis" doesn't count to our stickler spelling judges. 13:16 😂So in this reality. Alexa is a teenage girl actually named- Alexis. Who's trapped inside her speaker box prison.
The kids face on the Boxcover looks like he saw Nicholas Cage's Insane Crazy Sprit and thought you know what i'm ready for the horrors of life but first i got to do a Home Alone Film!
There's something about Doug's editing that makes me think that snow girl is actually funny I'm quite sure that's not the case in the movie, so good job
I would love for a home alone movie with Kevin's son, and the plot is they have a bad father and son relationship, and they learn too connect with each other over protecting the house in fun ways like in 1/2
Yeah, I saw this For the first time earlier this year when I found the DVD at my local library and decided to give it a shot. And, man, I was SO FREAKING BORED. Though it aftershave joke and phone call misunderstanding joke did get a snicker out of me, for the rest of the movie I was constantly thinking "PLEASE let this end already!" Will definitely never waste my time rewatching it. I'm more likely to rewatch Home Alone 4
I dunno I feel like Home Alone can work as long as the house is interesting and has good trap potential. The reason 2 has the best traps is because it had a great idea of a house midway through renovation and ran with it. You had holes in the floor for Harry & Marv to fall through, construction equipment being used as traps and the always classic brick scene. If a new Home Alone movie used a house with something interesting about it like that I feel like it could be a great instalment in the series
Dude channel awesome is one of those channels that just gives me hope for humanity. Been watching the nostalgia critic stuff since I was 14. You're all such great people
Thank you for this review Doug was a bit down and you put a smile on my face with this. Thank you and may your holidays be filled with joy. I almost asked you to review the "Legenda del Charro Negro" but although it is not made by Disney it was made available on Disney+ but through a friend found out it is not available on the US only on their Latin America stream.
Let me be honest here, the only actor I liked in this film is Malcolm McDowell. Another thing that I want to state is that this movie makes Home Sweet Home Alone look like a literal masterpiece. As a matter of fact, with these two movies existing it actually feels like these are the 2 kinds of movies that compliment each other by saying one is better than the other when both are considerably bad.
I remember when I randomly caught this movie on television back in the day, and remembering enjoying parts of it. But then, when the movie went to commercials, I realized, it was one of the many terrible Home Alone sequels. And then, I started to hate it lol and that's when I realized, if this movie wasn't called "Home Alone," this film MAY have been good. Much like The Terminator movies, I must say, they should just stop making these sequels. And again, like the Terminator films, the first two Home Alone movies are the only good films in the franchise.

This should be called “Home Alone 5: Yes There’s A Fifth One”
And Home 6 should be called Home Alone 6: Please just End.
Home Alone 7 should be: "Home Sweet Alabama Home Alone"
@@Seroxm13 Nah, Home Alone 7 should be called HA7 and involve hat thieves breaking in to a dudes house to get hats.
@@Nicholas_Steel They could even pay tribute to Cape Feare and have the villain with "LUV" and "HAT" tattooed on their knuckles.... I'll get my coat.
At the time I didn't know there was a forth one. Weirdly enough Home Alone 3 was the first I saw.
I kind of really like the adult gamer character in this.
How often do you see adult gamers in movies that aren't pathetic stereotypes? He's just a sweet, introverted dude. I went to college with people like him!
He even tried calling the authorities and parents to help!
He didn’t even feel bitter about Finn’s mother getting him swatted, he understood the misunderstanding and happily talked to her afterwards

I still remember watching this on TV when it first came out. Hard to believe it's been almost a decade already. Time flies.
I think it aired on Abc Family(Freeform).
Fancy seeing you here, loved your Booby Trap compilation.

“The Critic” version at least was funny.
Maybe the mug shot scene at the end is calling back to the end of Home Alone 3 that ended the same way.
But at least in 3 there was sort of a joke thrown in where it's revealed the criminals all got chicken pox.
but at least that had some substance to it.
Plus that scene was shot in a professional way. Montage of the mugshots showing the damage Alex did to all of them along with the joke that they caught Alex’s chicken pox
This was shot poorly and makes me question how the director of my favourite Bill & Ted movie could have fallen so far
Seriously? Their trying to homage to home alone 3?
You know what? Dot try to cramp 3's style. At least that movie was more memorable then this one.

Actually this one could work perfect as a Halloween movie. Change a little the story to this kid being punished to not going to trick or treat, the parents go to a Halloween party... The whole Ghost thing is even better in that case
nah that would take too much creativity and effort

I would love to have a new Home Alone sequel if they cast Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister. And either he's home alone due to depression or he's the burgler breaking into his childhood home.
And by the end he's Jigsaw. They already greenlit Saw 10. That has to be the plot.
He should grow up to be a night watchman at a museum and when some thieves try to steal something, he sets up traps and stops them
@@matthollands7771 'Alone at work' actually sounds like a pretty fun idea. Thoigh not a museum, thta has been done before.
I think it would be better for everyone if they leave this franchize alone.
He basically did that in Google commercial, check it out.
I would love for Macaulay Culkin did a grown up version of him putting on aftershave nervously, but then say, "Hey it doesn't hurt this time!"
I do like to imagine he still has a wound somewhere on his face and like, 5 seconds after he says that first line, he still ends up screaming

The goal for Finn was not missing his family but getting over his fears and learning to expand his interests beyond video games.

I feel like a proper and final Home Alone movie would’ve been back in the 90s when John Hughes was still alive. The set up would be Kevin finally goes to Paris with his whole family. There he meets the French equivalents of Marv and Harry.
Fun fact:
The actress that plays the female burglar is Debi Mazar, who did the voice of Maria Latore in the GTA series!
Where's Claude when you need him???
Wait.. she was also in Beethoven also
Also Spice (alongside Drew Barrymore as Spice...bizzare) in Batman Forever
Clearly that means Finn should have shot her in the head rather than letting her be arrested.
You’re right NC, these movies make you appreciate Home Alone 2 so much more.
I think by now its officially seen as a Christmas classic right next to the first one.
I love the swat scene and where the guy calls tha parents it’s so funny
I just wanted to say I’ve been watching you guys since 2012 and I love your reviews. Keep up the great work 😁
That's awesome!! Thanks for watching all these years!!
@@ChannelAwesomenext Nostalgia Critic reviews suggestions for Christmas :
Arctic Dogs
Looney Tunes Christmas Carol
A Loud House Christmas
Snowed In House of Mouse
Saving Christmas
Shelby - The dog who saved Christmas
I did actually find this one to be a decent family movie that simply had the Home Alone mark slapped onto it.
The Critic predicted this. It wasn’t a Matt Groening show, but it was created by Simpsons producers and had some of the same staff. Matt Groening is not alone in predicting the future.

Now that's a vibe! I love it!

Malcolm McDowell is one of those actors who doesn't believe in phoning it in. When he takes on a role he commits to it 100%
Here are my responses to the 5 Home Alone movies:
Home Alone: Timeless classic!
Home Alone 2: Pretty Good.
Home Alone 3: Okay.
Home Alone 4: God awful!
Home Alone 5: Dull and uninterested.
Home Alone 5 makes Home Sweet Home Alone look decent in concept. Even though I don't like that movie but it is closer than this one.
Home alone 3: the one where the big sister looks like she will sacrifice herself at Vormir.
@@shaider1982 Meaning?
I actually think Home Alone 4 is shittier than 5
@@smoker5989 I see no difference. Both are equally awful.
Nah 4 is godawful, 5 is meh
The funniest parts of your reviews are when you mock a character in the movie. You are one of the funniest people on this planet. Thank you for making these videos.
I’ve always wanted this review because this is the only home alone everybody forgets about
Because it's not Home Alone 1, 2 or any of the bad ones. It's just there.
Well I'll definitely say this film is still not as bad as Home Alone 4.
Ehh… I guess so
Nothing is as bad as Home Alone 4
@@chasehedges6775 Oh it's still shit but at least I can get through it fine unlike Home Alone 4 which was pretty much unwatchable.
At the very least, despite being garbage. I can still safely say that this is 10x better than the fourth one.
And that abomination of the 6th one.
Agreed.
At least this is its own thing.
@@RYMAN1321 The 4th one, instead, rips off the original and has the creativity of dried paint, and the recent 2021 reboot is a fucking curse on all humankind.
I kinda love how they bought the guy the plane ticket like saying" hey we are sorry that we called the cops on you, causing damage to your appointment and mental stress done so here's a cheap plane ticket to your parents who we never asked if you like".
I believe it was said in the movie that Simon likes his parents but he just doesn’t have the money to get over to where his parents live
This movie makes Home Sweet Home Alone look like a better sequel... a decent sequel.
@nemo pouncey 👍👍💯💯💯. Mr Fredrickson
I've really wanted the macalisters to come back in that movie it would been of the greatest comebacks in movie history
I still believe 4 is the worst one... Idk why, probably because it's the most boring one.
But not too far...
It was a decent Sequel. I like how the antagonists were sympathetic. It was different.
Just rewatched all of his home alone reviews and was hoping that he would do one on the holiday heist. It’s truly a Christmas miracle.
Now we need him to review the first movie and maybe a full-length review of 6 and we'll have the complete saga.
Home Sweet Home Alone clearly makes Home Alone 5 looked like a masterpiece
Both are equally bad.
f#cking gross! 1:48
I liked em both.
Home sweet home alone has better jokes and the traps got a reaction from me. This movie just bored me.
No. Home Sweet Home Alone makes Home alone 5 look like the Mona Lisa
There is one good thing about all these Home Alone sequels being pumped out. They all make Home Alone 2 look much better as time goes by. Sure, 2 copied a lot of stuff the original did, but at least it's trying to do something ambitious by being bigger in scale.
Home alone 2 is my fave Christmas film ever!
@@cheneethompson5756Yeah, that movie means a lot to me. As it does a lot of other people, too.
@@KarateGirl999 I watch that movie every Christmas!
@@cheneethompson5756 So do I. 😊
Next thing you know is they’ll be making Tom and Jerry in Home Alone and then Home Alone in Santa’s Workshop, and its animated
Honestly, might be a hot take but I don’t think this movie is bottom of barrel bad. Plots meh but I laugh a good amount of times throughout the film. Especially the burglars, those three are acting legitimately well and have good chemistry
Man The Energizer Bunny should go on a vacation sometimes there's too many of these
Me: Wait how the heck is their 5th film?
The Producers: You bet your sweet bippy i did
And a 6th one
This one makes home alone 3 look like a masterpiece an a classic 🕵️🤦😂
3 is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!
Here is my ranking of the 6 Home Alone Movies:
1.Home Alone-Christmas Holiday Classic! Best Christmas movie in my opinion! (No need to explain, you know it’s great and the best one!)
2.Home Alone 2:Lost in New York-Almost just as good as the first Home Alone, I consider it a classic as well! (Also no need to explain, it’s great in my opinion!)
3.Home Alone 3-Highly underrated movie! Not as good as “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2:Lost in New York” AT ALL, however it is SOMEWHAT fun to watch. In my opinion the traps are decent and this new kid character is actually okay! I also kinda like the whole dangerous evil spies trying to break in to find nuke chip plot! (At least they actually deserve it) In my opinion, this is a good/fine movie to watch once every year!
4.Home Alone 5:The Holiday Heist-I actually like this one a little bit more than “Home Sweet Home Alone”, however that doesn’t make it good. It’s overall just a big “MEH” movie in my opinion. Some traps are good, some are okay, some are..stupid. Just like Doug, I got a few laughs and a little enjoyment, but nothing more major than that. It’s a movie you watch once and forget about like 10 minutes after watching it. Then every year you just remind yourself “Oh yeah! That was a thing!”
5.Home Sweet Home Alone-This movie definitely could’ve been better, however what we got was not so great. The kid who is Home Alone is not likeable (the character in the movie), it focuses more on the “bad guys”, and the only reason the bad guys are even “breaking into” the kid’s house is because they thought he stole the doll that they could sell to keep their house, so when they go through the traps, you feel bad for them and so it’s just not fun or funny anymore. Although they did get the original actor of Buzz back for a small role, it is just not enough to save this movie.
6.Home Alone 4:Taking Back the House-MAN do I hate this movie. They actually had the audacity to bring back “Kevin” and “Marv” and the rest of the “family” to be played by different actors who don’t even look like them. Why didn’t they just have new characters!?? I also hate this new problem/plot where the dad is divorced from the mom, which is an unnecessary plot for a HOME ALONE movie!!
Here's mine:
#1 - Home Alone (1990)
#2 - Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
#3 - Home Alone 3 (1997)
#4 - Home Alone 5 (2012)
#5 - Home Alone 4 (2002)
#6 - 💀 *HOME SWEET HOME ALONE (2021)* 💀
So the Home Alone movies so far:
1 - Fairly good comedy movie.
2 - A bit of an aimless mess with some occasional well made moments.
3 - Bad.
4 - Not just bad but also boring.
5 - What the actual hell happened in here?
13:23 So we're not gonna talk about how the kid is dressed exactly like Stan from *South Park?*
The girl neighbor responding to the kids house being invaded and he's the only one who could stop it "oh, cool!" Was quite cute
18:33 She always gets the same thing like Jonny does from an Ed Edd n Eddy episode "Look Before You Ed" when he’s a snowman too.
“I told you I wouldn’t make a good snowman, Plank.”
-Johnny 2x4
Can't wait for the next Home Alone: Meets Bob the tomato on a pogo stick while trying to climb Mount Kilimanjaro while six ice climbers no really their just innocent ice climbers go and fight Smokey the Bear while The Iron Giant returns back to earth to start a rock band with They Might Be Giants turns on them and says i can do it better than you and eats a pear in their face!
That cellar does have a bit of a Cask of Amontillado feel to it...
Damn it, now I want to see a Home Alone movie written and directed by Edgar Allan Poe :P
At least it's better than I'll Be Home for Christmas
man, I LOVE The Critic :P was such a great 90s cartoon
I've been waiting for this one for years! And yet when you finally do the review, a new one comes out that's even worse than this one!
Also, a side point, I really like the Christmas stock music you use this time of year. Despite being stock, the music you use makes me happy. It fits you and the show well!
Finn Baxter: I'm jumping on the sofa!
Alexis Baxter: I don't care!
Finn Baxter: I'm eating junk food!
Alexis Baxter: I don't care!
Finn Baxter: I broke the lamp!
Alexis Baxter: I can't hear you and I don't care!
Finn Baxter: I'm going to wipe out the universe!
Alexis Baxter: I don't care!
Oh jeez! They poured dirt in the grave of Home Alone with this sequel!
Honestly, when I learned about the latest film my thoughts were "oh, who cares anymore?"
As in, I couldnt even get angry about it.
Back when you did the review for Home Alone this year, I honestly thought THAT! was the 5th film. Color me shocked and scared when I found out that it was not only the 6th film, but to realize there was a 5th damn film.
I’m terrified to know what happens (but it couldn’t as dreadful as a nice couple trying to save their house, right)? *hits play*
The way you used the Tim Allen grunt really make it funny at 2:50.
Was kind of expecting you to do the first one honestly, since you recently discovered this thing called "liking things"
Neighbor Kid: I love snow so much that every time it goes away I cryogenically freeze myself until it comes back
It would've been funny if he did a NWH Nostalgia Critic before the movie came out like the Disneycember review
He doesn't have the footage and a full clipless review would be too spoiler-heavy.
@@coolnerdlll6053 It'd still be funny, just not plausible
He still has to do a Nostalgia Critic review of the two previous MCU Spider-Man films!
4:36 No joke: when the Mom said "Alexis, don't call your brother an idiot", my Alexa went off and said "sorry, I don't know that one".
Why do i feel like a Mythbusters Home Alone crossover is gonna happen?
Sad they never got to do the Home Alone special they wanted
I’m so sad my favorite joke wasn’t in this review. After the swats knock out Simon, a later scene shows that he’s able to see Finn’s house on his TV to prove its not him, it’s the burglars. Then when the burglars are locked in the vault, it shows him and the swats celebrating after watching it. With CHINESE TAKEOUT! I love the visual of the swat team just sitting down and watching everything go down while eating food with some random guy they accused of kidnapping.
I remember watching the movie and thinking it wasn't that bad. Some of the booby traps were kinda funny IMO.
Home Alone 7 should absolutely have Macaulay Culkin make an appearance
Or they could stop at 6.
Please. No more.
Another classic Critic line that can be applied to this movie: "It stinks!"
The biggest laughs I got out of this review is Buster being adorable.
Ok better question why is the film on RUclips called HOME ALONE: THE HOLIDAY HEIST also why is the title in all caps did larry forget to take off the caps button again?
I wonder what Donny Kerabatsos thought of this film
Hi, Critic, just wanted to say that you are one of my favourite youtubers!
Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!!!
he's awesome. I met him at C2E2 in Chicago this year
@@ChannelAwesome you said the character being in love with the snow was a girl. the character and actor is a boy. don't you think it is disrespectful calling him a girl? And if you're uncertain it would not hurt you to check it up dude, just FYI
@@believer4002 it's a small kid, genders can be confused. It's hardly "disrespectful" if a person can't tell a little kid's gender because they're not some obvious stereotype
4:34 😅So- close, to being the first person to use the Alexa voice command. As this film came out in 2012. And Alexa officially released just two years later in 2014. How-ever... "Alexis" doesn't count to our stickler spelling judges. 13:16 😂So in this reality. Alexa is a teenage girl actually named- Alexis. Who's trapped inside her speaker box prison.
Just a reminder that the main burglar was the main lead of A Clockwork Orange, a cult classic by legendary director Stanley Kubrick.
What happened?!
I remember glimpses of this one on tv, until i saw the "Home Alone 5" in the commercial break and then i turned it off.
I still believe 4 is the worst
The kids face on the Boxcover looks like he saw Nicholas Cage's Insane Crazy Sprit and thought you know what i'm ready for the horrors of life but first i got to do a Home Alone Film!
“The Critic” is a fantastic show that I would love to see revived, provided Jon Lovitz returns to voice Jay Sherman.
Well it's more tamer than Walter White asking for some suntan lotion.
"Oooo, more 70s Malcolm McDowell, please!" - I was in the process of swallowing soda when you said that, and I nearly choked laughing!!!
Home Alone Holiday Heist: Aka The one where they somehow managed to get Malcom McDowell attached to it .
Yep. That was weird
I have no idea how they managed to swing that.
Again as Johntron said it's the Empire Strikes Back of Home Alone films.
Chaplin and Buster crashing the ad sponsorship was something I never knew I needed.
Yes!!! Four Home Alones down. Two to go!
Home Alone has basically become a Nostalgic Critic Christmas tradition.
There's something about Doug's editing that makes me think that snow girl is actually funny
I'm quite sure that's not the case in the movie, so good job
I would love for a home alone movie with Kevin's son, and the plot is they have a bad father and son relationship, and they learn too connect with each other over protecting the house in fun ways like in 1/2
Yeah, I saw this For the first time earlier this year when I found the DVD at my local library and decided to give it a shot.
And, man, I was SO FREAKING BORED.
Though it aftershave joke and phone call misunderstanding joke did get a snicker out of me, for the rest of the movie I was constantly thinking "PLEASE let this end already!"
Will definitely never waste my time rewatching it. I'm more likely to rewatch Home Alone 4
In Star Wars defense, there’s a lot of shit you can do with Space Wizards and space Nazis. Home Alone is kind of one and done.
2 if you count Lost In New York
I dunno I feel like Home Alone can work as long as the house is interesting and has good trap potential. The reason 2 has the best traps is because it had a great idea of a house midway through renovation and ran with it. You had holes in the floor for Harry & Marv to fall through, construction equipment being used as traps and the always classic brick scene. If a new Home Alone movie used a house with something interesting about it like that I feel like it could be a great instalment in the series
We can guess that Home Sweet Home Alone is in the near future, but I'm over here waiting for Fatman (2020) starring Mel Gibson as Santa Claus.
4:15 “You snow not pass!” Would be a play on lord of the rings not game of thrones, sloppy but still a funny review
Dude channel awesome is one of those channels that just gives me hope for humanity. Been watching the nostalgia critic stuff since I was 14. You're all such great people
Why haven't they made *Home Alone Quarantine* , yet?
Thank you for this review Doug was a bit down and you put a smile on my face with this. Thank you and may your holidays be filled with joy. I almost asked you to review the "Legenda del Charro Negro" but although it is not made by Disney it was made available on Disney+ but through a friend found out it is not available on the US only on their Latin America stream.
Let me be honest here, the only actor I liked in this film is Malcolm McDowell. Another thing that I want to state is that this movie makes Home Sweet Home Alone look like a literal masterpiece. As a matter of fact, with these two movies existing it actually feels like these are the 2 kinds of movies that compliment each other by saying one is better than the other when both are considerably bad.
Also Ed Asner.
You can’t go wrong with Carl Fredrickson.
I remember when I randomly caught this movie on television back in the day, and remembering enjoying parts of it. But then, when the movie went to commercials, I realized, it was one of the many terrible Home Alone sequels. And then, I started to hate it lol and that's when I realized, if this movie wasn't called "Home Alone," this film MAY have been good. Much like The Terminator movies, I must say, they should just stop making these sequels. And again, like the Terminator films, the first two Home Alone movies are the only good films in the franchise.
