Please do a reaction on the rest of the home alone movies Also I think one of the perants works as a fashion designer or some who makes close because they have a lot of maniquin and a sewing machine

[@abi2476]

Kevin's dad is actually a busines man and his mom is a fashion designer, explaining the mannequins in the house.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Makes sense!

[@jacobmichard1229]

That was my first thought about his mom. Sewing + mannequin = fashion designer

[@dizzyrascal5015]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that knows this.

[@videohistory722]

And I'm betting that's why they were going to Paris! For the winter collection!

[@vicentehizon6202]

No wonder it's regarded as the "silver tuna"

[@kriscynical]

I've always adored the parallel scary old man storyline with the pigeon lady in New York that he gives the turtledove ornament to. I'd like to think Kevin still has that turtledove on his tree even now as a middle aged man with a family of his own, using it as a lesson for his kids about not judging others by appearance alone by telling her story.

[@bailey7792]

That would be very Hey Arnold of him lol. I hope that too

[@silverblade357]

I mean, Kevin has to do something to inspire peace and kindness while marketing his... exotic home security services to people that don't mind getting bodies hauled off!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I LITERALLY SCREAMED when you showed the house! It’s still so cute. 31 years and counting!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ever since I saw ‘Home Alone’, a big fear was having the Shopping Bag falling apart. Still haunts me.

[@decristal48]

Lmao The worst thing is that shopping bags nowadays are weaker, and that almost happen to me xd 😨

[@bluelagoon1980]

I have had it happen three times. Lost a jar of pickles the last time.

[@SpacialRend7]

Let’s face it, the real highlight of Home Alone are the traps set for Marv and Harry. P.S: Yes for Home Alone 2!

[@Nicamon]

IMO,"Home Alone 2"does everything"Home Alone"does *BUT BETTER!* 🤩 So it's definitely like seeing the same movie twice,but if I can choose,I'll go for the sequel *ALL MY LIFE!*

[@nathancruz9172]

@@Nicamon me too.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

‘Home Alone’ is iconic. Catherine O’Hara is a comedy genius. Macaulay Culkin is awesome.

[@IvoryAspen97]

Don't get me wrong, the mannequins in the basement are creepy. But it would make more sense that maybe they're there because Kevin's mom is a well-to-do fashion designer (his dad gives me a businessman feel with that trench coat), and that's how they're so rich. Alternative: they could be old money in Chicago (I have no clue if this is a thing in Chicago).

[@the_nikster1]

iirc it is canon that Kevin's mom is in fact a fashion designer or that she used to be and that's why the mannequins are in the basement. I can't remember why or who I know this (maybe some DVD commentary?) lol

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Joe Pesci trying not to curse while cursing in a PG Movie is something I don’t anyone to forget! 😂

[@SirPaladin]

supposedly according to some novelization version, Kevin's parents are fashion designers. that at least explains all the mannequins.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

When I was a teen I babysat these 2 kids who would set Home Alone "traps" for me to stumble through. it was a fun game. :p

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

the biggest question: how the heck did kevin get the entire house cleaned up (from the mess of all of the traps, especially the tar on the basement stairs, and from the bandits, and all of the traps themselves), with the exception of Buzz' room, which Kevin likely didn't clean up on purpose

[@XenaWarrior24]

I always assumed that Old Man Marley helped him.

[@MoviesinDepth]

FACTS

[@Entxq_]

i read somewhere that the picture of buzz's girlfriend was a son of one of the crew members (i think the art director) dressed up as a girl cause chris thought it would be too mean to use a real girl's photo to humiliate her

[@bluelagoon1980]

True, and the right move.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Geez, can you imagine how many questions McCallister's would be asking if that was the case?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Of course WE NEED A REACTION to ‘Home Alone 2’.

[@kriscynical]

When my family's house was being built back in the '80s, it was in an area of brand new development so there was some displaced wildlife. One evening when my mom and grandmother came to see the construction progress, they found a HUGE TARANTULA in the area of the master bathroom. The framing of the house was in progress at the time and my mom didn't want the tarantula to somehow end up inside the house (she isn't exactly logical when it comes to creepy crawlies), so she wanted to kill it. She grabbed a nearby 2x4, and dropped it on the tarantula. _IT BOUNCED OFF OF IT._ THAT'S how huge the fucker was. She ended up finding a chunk of cinder block, and THAT did the job. She always felt bad for the guy who picked up that block the next day. 😂 Yes I know I've commented multiple times but hey it'll help with the algorithm. lol

[@sassylittleprophet]

When my brother was younger he used to look like he could've been Macaulay Culkin's twin (he looked SO much like him it was insane), and I can't tell you how many people would come up to my family to comment that he "looked like that kid from Home Alone."

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I find it ironic how Cops in the movie were more concerned about a shoplifter, rather than a lone child, because in that part where the Cop goes to the house there is CLEARLY a Light ON Upstairs, and the Cop was like, "Nobody home, the house looks secure. Tell them to count their kids again."

[@richardanderson2699]

You need to react to Cinderella a twist in time. This movie is such a cinematic gem and on par with the Disney reinassance era type of of movies. One of the few Disney sequels that's better than the original movie

[@Nicamon]

*Very true!*

[@BeeKee404]

Uncle Frank in my opinion is by far the worst of the entire family. Buzz and the other siblings are just typical older siblings. Frank is a grown adult man child and not in a good way. 😂

[@MoviesinDepth]

FACTS

[@unforeseeable2.058]

HE'S the little (big) jerk!

[@MyBeatleBoy60]

Yeah, there were even 2 deleted scenes of him acting more like a man child, after Buzz kicks Kevin out of his room, Frank goes to Kevin to "cheer him up" and yanks his pants down, running off. And another is when he's giving out shrimp, he calls his son a punk and tells him to sit on the floor while he just takes the whole chair.

[@calebray1834]

@@MyBeatleBoy60 and I believe in the original draft Uncle Frank set everything up and was in league with The Wet Bendits.

[@AveryCrane]

Love the vlog style bit in the beginning! Can’t believe you actually went to the house!!! I quote this movie way to much too and of course you hate the spider lol. And thanks for the good vibes in a rough week!!!

[@MoviesinDepth]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@cptayne]

By far the best Christmas movie in my opinion. So rewatchable and McCauley is such a good kid actor 🙌

[@MoviesinDepth]

Facts and Facts

[@Nicamon]

@@MoviesinDepth I agree...but I will put the 2nd movie instead of this one."Home Alone 2"does literally all the things"Home Alone"does...BUT *BETTER!* 🤩

[@PokhrajRoy.]

14:12 I actually love that irony. Convenient Plot Point but also brilliant storytelling. Being a Karen didn’t help her lol

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

we really never got a child star (correct me if wrong) like Macaulay Culkin's level of performance in Home Alone (1+2), until many many years later with Dakota Fanning and her performances in Man On fire and I Am Sam, and yes, they're very different roles, but both did their respective roles so absolutely amazingly well (and I know there's a lot of other movies with good child stars in them, but they never really got the level of stardom/fame/renown/memorable as Macaulay Culkin and Dakota Fanning)

[@okamiartifex8813]

I would add haley Joel osment to the list in my opinion. Loved his performance in sixth sense and A.I. artificial intelligence.

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

​@@okamiartifex8813 loved AI artificial intelligence (and seen but don't remember sixth sense), but sadly almost no one knows about the AI movie, and while sixth sense is more known, it's still not close to the level of home alone and culkin, so the child star isn't known/popular like culkin's renown, again, really no child star at this level until dakota fanning with man on fire and i am sam, and like culkin, she really only had her fame as a child, though she stayed in the movie industry while culkin got out of it, so, we don't know if culkin would flop too with movies as he got older, if he had stayed in the industry, dakota and culkin were absolutely loved as child stars but lost their love and stardom as they got older

[@sarah.the.clumsy]

The nail in foot almost happened to me today. Took a step that felt weird like there was a rock in my shoe tread or something. Pulled a thumb tack out of the sole of my shoe pointing straight up. Close one!!!

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank god..

[@tofanpurnomowaisaka503]

I kneeled on a thumb tack once, it was an experience...

[@lindseysteward7736]

When I was a kid, I stepped on a sewing needle and at least half of it went into my foot. I had to go to the children's hospital to have the doctors get it out. Since then, that scene with Marv stepping on the nail gave me sympathetic pain.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I saw it in another ‘Home Alone’ Reaction that the Ornaments Marv steps on are made from sugar, the nail scene was used with a rubber foot and Marv’s scream was not rehearsed.

[@spiderfingers86]

Joe Pesci wasn't allowed to swear in this movie so he came up with a bunch of gibberish

[@KT926]

"Oh-Kay" is a reference to Joe Pesci's character Leo in Lethal weapon 2 who always says OK several times before explaining something

[@Trenton-om9qs]

I am in love with this movie. When Kevin puts the Tarantula on Marv's face and he screams always makes me laugh. The second one is pretty good too

[@sophialewis9028]

Fun Fact: Chris Columbus, the director of Home Alone, also directed the first two Harry Potter films.

[@shermanmi]

There's a Netflix documentary series "The Movies That Made Us" with an episode on this one. The interior house scenes are on a set built into a local school gymnasium! And the stunts are without wires and soft surfaces done by those crazy stuntmen xD

[@virlinehonore9767]

home alone and home alone 2 are such classics and i love watching it every year it's one of my fav xmas movies

[@eamcbmsc]

I loooovvvvvveeeeeeddddddd the little vlog at the beginning. It was so fun!

[@MoviesinDepth]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I still can’t get over the fact that the guy playing Harry is the same guy playing Tommy in Goodfellas. It was really hard for him not to swear lol 😂

[@sfowler1991]

According to Google: According to the official novelization of the film - written by Todd Strasser as a quick promotional tie-in - Mr. Peter McCallister is a prominent businessman (maybe a day trader?) and Mrs. Kate McCallister is a fashion designer, thus all the mannequins that Kevin was able to use in the party scene.

[@vaimlune8055]

I love the indoor stair luge. It's so fun! Someday I'll try it with a sled (and probably crash into the wall but we'll worry about that later) but sliding down with your pant cuffs tucked into your socks so they don't roll up as a make-shift luge works too. I do recommend carpeted stairs though. Wood is a little hard on your behind.

[@MoviesinDepth]

I need a video of this

[@vaimlune8055]

@@MoviesinDepth I'll see what I can do! ^-^ Hopefully I'll be home alone on Monday to film.

[@galaxytraveler5779]

After all these years, i only *just* realized John Williams was the composer. The ending theme when Kevin is seeing his neighbor with his son again, it instantly reminded me of Jurassic Park. But i never clued in all the times i've watched it prior to this one.... sure.

Recently started following you on Instagram, your videos are awesome, especially this one. Home alone is my all time favourite movie

[@Ayaforshort]

If they turned they water off, the police couldn't prove these were the guys who have been burgularizing the neighborhood. Also prints. It's technically a crime scene. Also I think if this small child hadn't been defenseless and protecting himself, he would have gotten into some kind of trouble for all the maiming he did to those scumbags.

[@tomuchcamoflauge]

They were in his families home or on the property at all points they got hurt he was defending the house. It would always be self defense and in a case involving an 8 year old minor and two adult men chances are the problem is not the child.

Two mannequins and a leg, with a sewing machine, and both mannequins have weird outfits. Perhaps his mom is in fashion designing?

no one says the obvious...how does the mother know she forgot all about Kevin even though she asked daughter/niece whatever to count heads???

[@MoviesinDepth]

TRUE

[@Nicamon]

Motherly Intuition?:-P

[@tomuchcamoflauge]

There was a neighbor kid bothering the van driver and going through their stuff in the beginning that was counted in the head count then left. So they thought the right number of people were there and just didn't bother to double check.
