21:54 Kevin actually made a smart move by screaming in the middle of a busy sidewalk and running away. But why on earth doesn't he just go find a police officer?! It's New York I'm sure there's a cop somewhere!

[@thrillergirl021]

In the script, they make a big deal of out Kevin not wanting to go to the cop because he committed credit card fraud. In the first scene, he was suppose to watch the news where they announced a police crack down on credit card fraud of all ages. Original scrips can really help fill plot holes in movies. Often, when the audiences says "Why doesn't he just do this or that", theses issues had been addresses in the scrip, but never made it to screen. So I guess it's the director's fault.

The ending will always be funny. “Kevin! You spent 967 dollars on room service??!!!”

[@alvexok5523]

Why was his reaction narrowed down to room service, when Kevin also spent his credit card on limousine service, a pizza, and what about the room itself? It was a rich suite. And it was already stocked with junk food, was that included in the room service bill, or the pizza at the limo? Because from what I've seen when they show part of the room service bill is just that ice cream and the toppings he got. Was that entire $967 for the ice cream and toppings? That was the only actual room service we saw him get, if you don't include the already stocked bar or the pizza

[@alvexok5523]

@JamezMorrizofficial Yeah. And he called Uncle Frank a cheapskate, lol. On the room service bill, see my above reply.

As someone who has been to France like three times, I can tell you: They WILL talk to you in French. And they don't care at all that you say "No francais" 10 times during their monologue, they just seem to be happy to be able to talk to someone, even if that someone doesn't know the language. It's almost as if it is their version of going to a therapist.

[@mikshinee87]

They cannot accept that the days when French was the international language of nobility are long gone.

[@Honey059]

4:31 just FYI, Macaulay was not suffering from the as you inaccurately called it the: I don't care I'm as cool as shit performance. In actuality, he was rather fatigued and increasingly overwhelmed and overworked by his father. Whom kept making him act in multiple movies too much at a time without letting him take any breaks because he was just using him to make money. He was burnt out by the time he was 14 and he quit acting in 1995. His parents, who weren't even married separated and he finally got away from his dad. So yeah, Macaulay was not being a brat or full of him self by any means. It's because his dad was abusive and treated him like a machine instead of a kid.

I remember thinking Kevin was acting completely different here too. I personally took it as Kevin feeling more confident around his family. Even though his family might not know it, He knows that he is capable of holding-up a house, and taking out 2 criminals all by himself, so he has officially graduated into: 'No fs given,' territory.

[@RaphaelBas1995]

I always thought the homeless woman went into a depression after her breakup. The sadness made her give up on life, and no love from anyone else (her family, friends, other men) could help. That can definitely lead to a spiral that ends in homelessness. But they simplified/dumbed it down so much "for the kids" that it comes across as no real problem.

First off, they never said that and second, she was talking to a KID; why did he need all the details? Still, I agree with her falling into depression and who knows how the divorce went down.

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

Captain_Hat yup. Just like I did as a kid. Cause as a kid, and you learn about this as you get older, kids don't truly think things will go wrong. Mistakes can always be fixed. Now imagine a kid in a family that has great money and stability and take regular trips. Everything is ALWAYS working out. Not that theyndont care. It's that they cared in their own way. "He's home. HOME. in a secure house, in a nice neighborhood. In N.Y. it's the 2nd time. And it worked out all fine the first time. But for the adults they worried their ass off. So, I'm not sure still why you say they didn't care
