Nostalgia Critic - Home Alone 3

[@CrimsonArtsStudios]

Home Alone: HOLIDAY CLASSIC Home Alone 2: Decent, but not as timeless as the original Home Alone 3: Medicore, at least they chose to ditch the kevin character with the new characters because Culkin was getting older at the time Home Alone 4: an abomination against humanity

[@brandonjones3345]

Then...the 5th... *shudders*

[@CrimsonArtsStudios]

Ah fuck that. Just kill the 5th with fire. Please?

[@jokubast6395]

Brandon Jones A sixth film Home Alone 6 is expected to release on January 5, 2016. Yep, this is actually happening.

[@CrimsonArtsStudios]

OH I think I am gonna be sick. When is Hollywood gonna a get a brick in the head for realizing that this franchise shouldn't be touched anymore? seriously LEAVE "HOME ALONE" ALONE!

[@brandonjones3345]

Oh good lord a sixth? Why can't people just let a series die? They always try to keep it going and it just ruins it.

[@ThomasOfTheWarband]

Home alone 2 was pretty good i thought...

[@TheFancyFilmmaker]

It's alright it's far from awful but it's alright

[@mrcoolguy32]

same here

[@jasonhylnd001]

Caleb Strain Naw classic.

[@mmmnah7684]

home alone 2 was hiliarious

[@Caldella]

I loved it, and still enjoy it, but I have to admit it's mostly uncreative, since it's basically the same scenario as the first and doesn't really develop anything new...

[@2wingo]

I would like to see a sequel where Kevin and Alex team up and become serial killers.

[@1krani]

Volunteers are coming to, um, "escort" you to the hospital.

[@MisterX867]

Dude....If I were a director I'd contact you to set up a meeting about a script

[@tonypeppercorn3818]

Someone never figured out who was REALLY behind that jigsaw mask

[@Ametcitra]

Oh god, Funny Games D:

[@Anonymous-js5zn]

That's stupid.

[@FearMonarch]

Here's hoping the Critic tears apart Home Alone 4 or 5 this Christmas season

[@bongobingo3967]

Whoah whoah whoah there was a Home Alone...5? Why??

[@Blade-hf9po]

there are two more of these things??? o dear... let's see if I can find them.

[@Blade-hf9po]

there are two more of these things??? o dear... let's see if I can find them.

[@FearMonarch]

Bongo Bingo home alone 3 and 4 were actually suppose to be real sequels where home alone 5 is just the shitty direct to tv movie.

[@GameLex]

+Fear Monarch Home Alone 5 is actually kinda good.

[@MissTomi]

What if Home Alone is a prequel to Die Hard

[@SavingSoulsMinistries]

+Wario64I woah

[@nils920]

+Wario64I Or worse, Saw!

[@MrBoondock1]

+Wario64I Can't believe they're making Die Hard: Year One....So stupid.

[@RepKyle95]

+nils920 Who else but Kevin could make such amazing devices to be used to harm others?

[@darkzombiproductions7756]

+CASTLE what is Die Hard Year One

[@clockwerk35]

WHAT?! Home Alone 2 did not suck! How dare you Critic!!

[@gamegeekz1]

i agree i liked the first and second home alone movies they are great movies

[@1krani]

I think he meant that it was basically a rehash of Home Alone.

[@jasonhylnd001]

1krani Yeah, I get the feeling he doesn't really hate Home Alone 2 he just sees it as a remake. The fact that he won't review Home Alone 2 also tells me he doesn't hate it all that much.

[@1krani]

***** Or maybe he already scraped the bottom of the barrel with Home Alone 3 and feels like a Home Alone 2 review would be more suited for MikeJ's Shameful Sequels.

[@jasonhylnd001]

Well, Home Alone 2 doesn't fit in that category of shameful sequels imo.

[@spookycookies19]

I know I can't be the only person who thinks Home Alone 2 was a better film than Home Alone 1. It has, overall, a more prominent "christmasy" feel to it than the first flick. Oh, and any Home Alone flick beyond 2 is garbage. Please stop making these cheap knockoffs. Home Alone isn't Home Alone without Pesci, Stern, and Culkin (which of course means there will only ever be 2 true Home Alone films).

[@Nithor666]

Home Alone 2 was AWESOME I liked it better than the first one, then again diehard slapstick comedy fan.

[@sterlingwhite4729]

Oh well, we still have the memories and fanfictions.

[@kamikelly3908]

Home Alone 2 is amazing

[@Smokingwrecker]

Then shouldn't this movie be a remake if it doesn't have any of the original characters.

[@DrBlackworth]

One of the Few Times I disagree with NC. Home Alone 1 and 2 = GOLD Home Alone 3, not nearly as ghood but It was decent enough. Hell It would be hard to compete with the first two. 4 and 5: Holy shit who ever wrote those should be given to Hannibal Lector

[@trunksrocks1]

Whoa whoa whoa, Home Alone 5 was awesome.

[@DrBlackworth]

Yeah right. here's whats wrong with it 1) I do believe you have to be of age to buy some of the thing he bought at the hardware store. 2) Malcolm Mcdowell 3)Who spends 2000 dollars to buy these things. In 1, 2, and 3 the kids showed resourcefulness and took advantage of what they had in hand. 4) Malcolm Macdowell as the leader of the crooks. 5) The fact that this movie exists at all

[@trunksrocks1]

Aldon Blackreyne Whatever, fucking weirdo....

[@DrBlackworth]

ShadowBladeX Now now there's no need to be rude.

[@trunksrocks1]

Aldon Blackreyne Trust me man, that is the least rude I can be.

[@hassaanmirza4628]

Well, John Candy died in 1994, so John Hughes was kind of severely disillusioned after that.

[@rampageclover9788]

I think he was just burnt out

[@melthorn641]

When I grew up and got married, I finally jumped up and down and said: I'm! Living! Alone! I'm! Living! Alone!

[@TintedVisionMovies]

Home Alone- 9/10 Home Alone 2: Lost in New York- 8/10 Home Alone 3- 6/10 Home Alone 4- 5.5/10 Home Alone 5;The holiday heist -1000/10

[@night4345]

I don't know why he thinks that this home alone's traps are sadistic when the kid lit a guy's head on fire and one of the crooks had a nail driven all the way up his foot in the first one

[@johnkage3576]

I could never see that part without shuddering *shudder* Nails.

[@tonypeppercorn3818]

The least creative/ most sadistic one: Just throwing bricks at a guy (which should have done way more damage then it did)

[@christmasworld6795]

I love Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. They are funny, entertaining and some of my favorite Christmas movies. Always excited to watch them every December. Some of my other Christmas movies include: Elf Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) The Santa Clause The Year Without a Santa Claus Santa Claus is Comin' to Town Frosty the Snowman

[@deathby1kslimes945]

Die Hard?

[@greysonbourne]

Home Alone 8: Lost in Space is my personal favorite.

[@greysonbourne]

lel maybe

[@RadMan224]

+Teresa Clohessy there are only 5... and a possible 6th next year...

[@jupiter9099]

You made my day.

[@slug237711]

+Greyson Mills Idk, Home Alone 11: Mexican Mayhem had a funny moment here and there.

[@greysonbourne]

Yeah, but like, only 2. Remember when they raided the Taco Truck?

[@blancfan1]

The mouse and parrot were the best part of the movie.

[@ChickenPika]

I'm surprised nobody called for the critic's immediate castration, branding, and hanging for saying something even remotely negative about someone who's dead. Considering the shitpile of a comments section for the Flubber review (keeping in fucking mind that the review came out three years before Williams actually died), I'm pretty shocked.

[@chriskeane2004]

Hey chicken ☺

[@chriskeane2004]

Btw big fan :)

[@ashiq626]

ChickenPika I literally came here to write this exact comment

[@dwarfbunni]

ChickenPika just because someones dead, doesn't exclude them from criticism.

[@jenalyly6699]

Kevin Mccallister's Traps = Funny Alex Pruitt's Traps = Fucking Terrifying

[@Double_K_A]

Home alone 1 & 2:Masterpieces. Home alone 3:flawed but okay. Home alone 4:one of the worst movies ever!

[@Spaceblazer]

Don't forget Home Alone 5!

[@aghostshell]

Wait.. That wasn't just a joke, there actually was a Home Alone 4!?!

[@Spaceblazer]

And 5...

[@jaksavaran3221]

aghostshell yes, yes there was. IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PIECES OF DOG SHIT IN MOVIE HISTORY. Sharknado, hell fucking Birdemic is better than it.

[@aghostshell]

Jak Savaran I looked it up, and it's been out since 2002? Also another Home Alone called, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, released in 2012. Why is this being made!? No one cares about these movies now! I don't even remember trailers for this stuff! Who keeps making this shit!

[@robertobrien9814]

I understand the criticisms against Home Alone 2. How it's just a copy paste of the first one, which I kinda agree. 1. Starts with Buzz teasing Kevin which leads to Kevin retaliating but causing trouble whilst doing so and the family blaming Kevin whilst Buzz gets off easy. 2. Have Kevin be happy that he's separated from his family because of them ridiculing him. 3. Have Kevin throw his own little parties and feast on gross amounts of food. 4. Have Kevin use strings and a device that can play music to create the illusion of a dancing person to trick one of the villains that he is with an adult. 5. Have Kevin meet someone who afraid of being rejected. 6. Have Kevin compare a seemingly simple situation like rollerskates to said persons fear of rejection said person to convince them to at least try to get in touch with people they fear will reject them. 7. Have Harry's head get set on fire. 8. At the end of large scale trap sequence have Harry and Marv climbing down a rope which Kevin sabotages, making them fall. 9. Briefly cut back and forth between Kevin and his mother screaming at people to get to her son. 10. Have Kevin and only the mother reunited at first because the rest of the family couldn't come with.

[@robertobrien9814]

BUT, I still love Home Alone 2.

[@robertcarldecker]

Fun fact: the director of this film was the editor of the first two Home Alone movies. This was his directorial debut.

[@TheWEECO]

In Home alone, Kevin was a fun character, and the storyline worked well. In home alone 3, Alex is extremely irritating, and can somehow get the better of international terrorists.

[@godzillavkk]

I kinds wanted the spies to win.

[@godzillavkk]

bat sonic Well when you have a kid who has no idea whats going on and is pretty bland, you kinda feel sorry for the spies.

[@TheWEECO]

NC points it out perfectly, why do they keep leaving Alex on his own? Also, how would he set up traps without anyone noticing, especially when he is sawing floors in half.

[@NekoSoren]

Maybe the kid actually had fever and this was all just a fever dream the kid had? :D...I know it would be a shamalan kind of twist but i will take that :3

[@stacylarness1634]

And then suddenly...HOME ALONE 4.

[@theolocalloner9404]

The fourth movie was awful. It makes the third movie look good.

[@stacylarness1634]

I kind of liked the third movie. It didn't make any sense, but it was action packed, and had plenty of slapstick. The fourth one has absolutely no slapstick, no traps of any kind, not humor, and shitty characters. And some of the worst dialog I've ever heard. The characters almost seem like parodies of themselves.

[@NekoSoren]

And when you thought it was over...when you finally believe you could live in peace...HOME ALONE 5!

[@asseenontv9323]

suddenly... home alone 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

[@jasonhylnd001]

NekoSoren And now after reading above comments get your noose ready because there is supposed to be a Home Alone 6. I hope the creators know that NOBODY is going to watch it. I didn't even bother to watch 5 because seeing the previews was enough torture.

[@PikminandOatchi]

"Look at this scene it's like something out of a horror movie" You realise that sentence describes most of home alone 2 right?.

[@JuanG2020]

Nostalgia Critic, I don't usually disagree with you but, Home Alone 2 was not that bad. I love Home Alone 1 & 2! They were awesome!

[@HunterX05]

It's ridiculous how well the Die Hard 5 joke aged

[@ApsBooProductionsOfficial]

I kinda liked home alone 3... Until I watched this, and realized the error of my ways. Thanks Critic

[@Darkbeast42]

So you stop likening something whenever some guy on the internet tells you to?

[@ApsBooProductionsOfficial]

I was also like 6 at the time so....

[@KoPLeaderKiactu]

***** So? People still talk bad about Naruto but I still watch it.

[@Brown195]

KoPLeaderKiactu Called opinions. NC is raising points and errors in the movie and he opens your eyes to what is really happening in the action. You can still enjoy it, but he's just telling you what you didn't know about it. Just because NC hates Naruto doesn't mean you can't watch/enjoy it. Just because NC says that this movie sucks doesn't mean you have to stop watching it either.

[@KoPLeaderKiactu]

fooeytheduck NC likes Naruto. His cat is named after the main character.

[@JaggerDaBombs]

Home alone 2 was a great movie

[@nintendogamecube80]

Yep. Still is. Back then I also liked this one before I realized it was the film that ruined the franchise in general.

[@mr.cyclops6081]

Monkeu no it was good not great

[@yungslyme4341]

Monkeu I love it

[@SIMPDUDE]

2 sucks, it was a cheap word-for-word ripoff the 1st. That made the whole look even stupidier for having to relearn everything all over again. 3 is awesome for being original, brought in new/more villians and higher stakes what with the (inter)national security threat (though admitingly, it woulda been flawless if it took place in this or the next decade where Alex is Kevin's son)

[@YTWarrior100]

+J-Guy 2 ROCKS. It's even better than the first one. It's not a ripoff of the 1st at all. It merely has a similar plot to the first. He's not even actually left home. As the title says, he's lost in New York. The film also does some things even funnier than the first film. It can get overly familiar at a few points, but it's not a carbon copy of the first. It's a great movie.

[@MuffinSparkle]

I didn't even know that there was a 4 or 5 until that JonTron video. For some reason, it doesn't surprise me.

[@imakaant]

theres a 5?

[@ajspice]

Yeah, there's a five?!

[@FaceUnreality]

Heard they were making a new Home Alone as well. Most likely a reboot to cash in on the name.

[@MuffinSparkle]

Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist. With Malcolm McDowell. Your faith in humanity has lowered twenty points, hasn't it?

[@FaceUnreality]

MuffinSparkle My faith in humanity is negative 500 now. It's been going down a lot.

[@PheonixRising2988]

Home alone 2 was awesome!!

[@MovieLover1995]

IKR? I also liked Dennis the Menace, Flubber, and 101 Dalmatians.

[@Slice2099]

yes

[@robertcarldecker]

Nate The live action one. It was written and produced by John Hughes.

[@DeadhunterThe]

When you did that whole "John Hughes at the computer" thing, you should've said, "Now where are my needle and crackpipe?"

[@LACwriter]

Home alone 1: Great Home alone 2: Okay Home alone 3: NO! Home alone 4: NO! NO, NO, NO!

[@MisterBoners]

This pisses me off. Why would they scrap Kevin and replace it with... Who the fuck is this, Alex?

[@brandonjones3345]

Probably to keep the focus on a really young kid. At the time Home Alone 3 came out, Kevin woulda been about 15.

[@Kektus1]

Funny how NC keeps going on about how none of the original Home Alone elements were in this movie, and once things started changing to what you'd expect a Home Alone movie to have, he criticizes how stupid and unbelievable it is.

[@brandonjones3345]

Qwazzy I thought about that too. He says the lawn mower is just out of a horror movie and not funny. Um...how about the first movie? Ya know, like when Kevin causes Marv to STEP ON A NAIL? Like that part adds his goofy scream and stuff, but I still cringe every time it goes into his foot.

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

Qwazzy well the first movie was more believable because the thiefs were complete idiots, in this one they are professional spies. sure he did traps in the first one, but they were realistic and not millimeter specific like most in this one. and sure stepping on nail was bad but fuck it I think I have actually seen that lawn mower scene in actual horror movie. the only thing missing is blood. in this one the kid is like a fucking genius, in the first one it was just normal everyday kid.

[@tammybezy4474]

MrAnimepredator yeah the traps in one are more believable of what is capable of a young child.

[@Nukeknockout]

My big problem with Home Alone 3 is that, in Home Alone and Home Alone 2, there's a central point. There's a message about family, about doing what you have to do when you're backed into a corner, about not giving up when you're facing horrific odds, about looking past what people appear to be to see who they are. Home Alone 3 is an action movie starring a kid genius devoid of any message beyond "Criminals are stupid and you can beat them up if you're more or less omniscient!"

[@Leatherbubba]

Not to mention that this movie has none of the atmosphere of the first two. The first two had lots of scenes that took place at night, which made the situation seem a little scarier.

[@Whooachannel]

Worst home alone movie ever? Not even close! You want the worst ever, check out home alone 4. That's right, there is a home alone 4.

[@jasonhylnd001]

I would have agreed a few years ago but now I can't since they, wait for it, made a home alone 5 which I have not seen.

[@dylaniusaurelius8880]

***** WHAT?! oh, god; does ANYONE in Hollywood have a soul?! how much milk do they need out of a classic?!

[@Whooachannel]

***** when did they make that? And how many of these freaking movies are they gunna make?!

[@dylaniusaurelius8880]

KageNeko1989 I actually saw that; not the movie itself, but the ads for it, and they're continuing with the kevin vs marv and harry, with NONE of the original actors.

[@ww2sniper555]

yeah home alone 3 and 4 was shit. people please watch home alone 1 and 2.

[@hipnhappenin]

I remember when I saw this in the theaters, during the first few minutes I asked my mom if we were watching the right movie....

[@StupidMarioBros1Fan]

I bet Doug hated Home Alone 2 because it was practically the same film as the first one, though personally I liked it. Atleast that one felt like a Home Alone movie compared to this crap, yah some parts of the film were too similar and weren't needed but it was still an overall enjoyable film.

[@gnalkhere]

I honestly feel bad for scarlett johansson and harold smith from twin peaks for being in this movie and oh my god 5:48 that's the janitor from scrubs

[@elcap22]

Home alone 3 is not that bad. Just because it doesn't feature any of the characters from the first two movies and is a bit sillier doesn't make it a bad movie. It was fun and entertaining movie, and is much better than Home alone 4.

[@gamefan56]

i think sillier is quite an undrstatement considering we go from a kid home alone defending against thieves to missile technologi and korean spies.

[@elcap22]

Gamefan56 yeah, ok, I admit,this movie did take it too far. I suspect the terrorist plot was in the original story treatment for home alone 3 where it would be about a teenage kevin. I suspect home alone 3 would be more like a die hard movie about a teenage kevin fighting terrorists and spies, instead of thieves. But then when they replaced Kevin with Alex, they decided to keep the terrorist plot in.

[@gamefan56]

elcap22 interesting theory, i agree with you that it was the most likely option, had they kept Kevin

[@Paul91-]

Well said my friend

[@NekoSoren]

A teenage boy defending himself from international terrorists to defend an important piece of military equipment is actually pretty good for a movie...if its taken somewhat seriously XD Still seriously, from where did they even got this "spies"

[@TheBelieveit1]

I think that all the Home Alone sequels and rip offs just show that the original was that one freak accident. Not like a bad accident, but one of those movies that comes along that just clearly cannot be duplicated as it came at the right time and did the right things. A lot of movies seem to be like that though as you can see when everyone tries to duplicate it and they fail.

[@guilhermehank4938]

Yes and no...a home alone movie could work if they put heart and soul into it like the first two but its fucking clear that the franchise should be left alone but since they keep milking it for brand recognition, its destined to suck everytime.

[@johnerikson7094]

Roger ebert even called this movie better than the first 3. WTF???

[@nidhoggr8561]

There was a Home Alone 4?

[@vergilthepoet9732]

Yeah. No one knows when it was made because it was released without any ads to let people know. It was supposed to follow the story of the first two but with a totally different cast of characters, which, as you can guess, backfired tremendously. It was a total disappointment and it just didn't make any sense.

[@Victinigamer3]

VergilthePoet Hell they made a 5th one and that one was a piece of shit that shit out some more shit in freaking shitland

[@vergilthepoet9732]

victinigamer3 I didn't even know about the fifth one lol I'm glad I didn't XD

[@Victinigamer3]

it's supposed to be "modern" with the main character playing a cod ripoff and talking to another guy playing on an xbox ripoff dear god its an awful movie hell the vilans are unmemorable and again its not kevin just a freaking random kid named Finn

[@dionwoollaston5717]

victinigamer3 I liked it the hole ghost storey thing I thought was exiting

[@EnclosedPoolArea]

NC's criticisms of this movie could apply to all the other home alone movies to be fair

[@antman1001000]

Agreed but the difference between 3 and 1 is that 1 has great writing and characters that are able to mask the flaws of the movie and get us sucked in to where when they do happen we don't notice while in 3 the writing is bland at best and there are no characters that we care about because they are either unlike able or are to bland to enjoy

[@cspidereyes]

Do you know why this movie was bad? They. Didn't. Have. The face.

[@protoman1365]

All right, Jontron

[@DWatchRazgriz]

Monsieur Awesome Inc. Jontron? Is that you? Did you create an alternate Account to hide from the fact you haven't done a non-Starcade video in a while?

[@BiggaMyMan]

DWatchRazgriz Calm down, that series will be only a short while.

[@DWatchRazgriz]

TheBiggaproductions -.-' You do realize that I was making a Johntron joke yes? If you saw the original Titenanic video, you'll know the joke I was making.

[@BiggaMyMan]

DWatchRazgriz "But I won't play thaaaat" :U

[@LegoPack99]

I actually didn't think the second one was that bad. While it had its dumb moments, it was still enjoyable. The fourth one, on the other hand... (Shudders)

[@KeijiNoSora]

theres a 4th?

[@beaglebark4135]

KeijiNoSora ewwh (plugs nose and holds Home Alone 4 like a bag of dog crap)

[@Oedurribeiro]

Beaglebark413 Yeah but the 5TH one is great,Jontron said so. (btw i never even watched the 5TH one so don't judge me,but they did get the face going!)

[@KeijiNoSora]

you guys are joking right?

[@KnucklesTheApple]

KeijiNoSora no there are five home alone movies, 4 and 5 are exactly as good as you'd think. but Malcolm McDowell was in 5.

[@dajokaman759]

you think 3 is the worst but 4 and 5 make this feel like a traditional christmas masterpiece.

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

The only legit Home Alone sequel after the second movie was the Google Assistant ad last Christmas.

[@KaleLikesWaffles]

Home Alone 3: The only Home Alone film Roger Ebert liked

[@robertcarldecker]

KaleLikesWaffles That'd make a great subtitle! Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jackson-fd4bz]

This used to be my favorite movie and then I watched it again and I thought, Man I was a weird kid.

[@TheBelieveit1]

I think that's just cause when we're kids our standards are lower since we don't really know better. I mean I used to love Power Rangers when I was a little kid but when I tried rewatching them on Netflix......it was one of those moments I wish I had a time machine so that I could just deck my younger self for being so stupid. I mean some things I liked as a kid I can sort of enjoy even today but it's mostly for the nostalgia but even then I find myself disliking it. Hell, try rewatching classic Disney films as if you've never seen them before and with a critical mind. I found that I came to really REALLY dislike a lot of them like Cinderella for example cause ultimately she gets her happily ever after cause a prince thought she was pretty and not because he saw her as the kind, caring and strong woman she was (don't even get me started on the other ones where they meet for 4 seconds and know they are meant to be).

[@lopnezk1320]

Home alone 2 was awesome in my opinion

[@SoraFan23]

same here.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

Damn Straight.

[@blacksmartie8801]

I actually liked Home Alone 2 better than the original.

[@pinheadious]

blacksmartie same here :)

[@protoman1365]

I agree with that.

[@jmaan3]

blacksmartie I did not, it made no sense to me that the movie was called home alone and he wasn't at home. I also thought there was way too little traps and that most weren't memorable at all.

[@Wh40kFinatic]

+blacksmartie The original never really stuck with me.

[@FirelordHouses]

And then.... there was Home Alone 4. *Shudders*

[@TicTacZac12]

What's obnoxious about the Home Alone franchise in general is that it spawned several fads that lasted throughout the 90's. Little kids being the heroes being the biggest one. So many 90's movies had little kids saving the day a lot, got kind of annoying.

[@Karlfalcon]

I _almost_ expected him to pull out an actual bottle of absinthe...

[@4thingsthatgoBOOM]

i liked this movie. it was by no means at all better than 1,but at least i got a few laughs out of it

[@dionwoollaston5717]

yeah it wasn't exactly laurel and hardy but it was good

[@DerekBoldiene360]

Home Alone 2 is so underrated.

[@RoseluvsHHR]

Hey, I love Home Alone 2 just as much as the first. Both are classics and funny and heartwarming, I look forward to watching them every December. :)

[@LizLuvsCupcakes]

Home alone was a classic, it'll always be my favourite movie. Home alone 2, well, it was ok, but nothing special. Horns alone 3? Ok,I think we should stop. Hone alone 4? Really?! Home alone 5? Can I have a rope please?

[@themurderersfolley5995]

you reminded a seth macfarlne joke but i forgot who i heard it from its basically the same joke except with his shows and movies

[@themurderersfolley5995]

oh btw i heard something about a home alone 6

[@LizLuvsCupcakes]

WAI.

[@elcap22]

Home Alone 3 was originally meant to be about a teenage Kevin McAllister, but Macaulay Culkin had quit acting, so they wrote Kevin's character out the third movie and replaced him with a new character. Home Alone 3 is more of a re-imagining of the first movie than a sequel.

[@M1CHAELMARGIELA]

But how come he made his. FinAl movie in 2009

[@elcap22]

megamvtruck he did quit his acting career at one point in the 90s.

[@SpikeJet2736]

[@dionwoollaston5717]

There was a porno cool

[@georgedonovan8747]

***** Didn't the Asylum make that dog Home Alone film?

[@JoelOnYouVideos]

Does he understand it's a total different story? Then again he thought Home Alone 2 sucked too. Sometimes I just don't agree with him.

[@JoelOnYouVideos]

Mal Nexus It obviously is, since he compares it to the first 2.

[@JoelOnYouVideos]

They did nothing wrong. Different character, different story, and same movie title.

[@JoelOnYouVideos]

Exactly

[@krazykillerhippo]

Then again, the movie is still pretty awful regardless if they try to "do something different."

[@ThePenguinat0r]

Mal Nexus would you really want a movie where they leave the same kid 4 times? It would become ridiculous. That's why it has to be different each time.

[@Chocolian]

I just realized that the director of The Smurfs 2 did this! THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

2:54 When did the music from oz get here?

[@marcosrecio4062]

Thanks for uploading this!

[@adu1991]

I liked Home Alone 2.

[@arizonatsunami]

1:47 Oh no, this isn't Die Hard 5, believe me, that piece of shit is another story.

[@nick2themax]

This review came out way before DH5

[@arizonatsunami]

I know, thats what makes it funnier.

[@travelsonic]

All right, you know what? Regardless of your opinion on this movie, you gotta admit it's hard not to laugh at the part where Alex is told to apologize to the chief, and he responds with "Excuse me for being a good citizen." Doesn't make up for the rest of the movie, but really, that was funny IMO.

[@deathby1kslimes945]

The Breakfast Club: best film of all time

[@docdave15]

11:15 Fun fact about that trap, in the novelization of Home Alone 2 the intro takes place in a dream that Marv has while in jail. In the dream he and Harry have broken out of prison and go to Kevin's house to get revenge. They chase Kevin into the garage where he unleashes the mower in the exact same way as Home Alone 3 did. When it lands on him Marv wakes up.

[@mattsmokes2505]

Hone Alone 2 was fucking awesome.

[@CheeseburgerFreedomMan]

+Flurgle Burgle It wasn't like the first one, but it's still a good film

[@doctoquack7829]

+Pigey Man I consider it highly underestimated and I liked the bigger atmosfear

[@mattsmokes2505]

Matt Lababini Same man.

[@Ladondorf]

The first one had a 55% anyway. The first two are indeed underrated. They're simple and not always haha funny but they are very enjoyable.

[@mattsmokes2505]

Ladondorf C.A. - Stop Motion Films Seriously! I will never go out of my way to watch a Home Alone movie but they are definitely holiday classics that are a joy to watch once a year.

[@thegroove14]

I can't believe Scarlet Johansson is in this movie.

[@witherbossrocks09]

I always thought the 2nd Home Alone was decent

[@Laxhoop]

At the end there, I'd like to think that's what was actually going through John Hugh's head at the time. He'd already written two, and he was out of ideas for this franchise, so he just wanted it to be done with. It's like Bill Waterson with Calvin and Hobbes, both wanted to end their creations when they were out of ideas, and let it end. But Hugh's was under contracts, he had no choice.

[@gor9027]

0:32 Whoa, whoa, whoa! Home Alone 2 did not suck! I enjoyed it as much as the first one, and some moments (Tim Curry scenes and the Bandits' plot making more sense) and some traps are actually better than the ones in the first film.

[@MovieLover1995]

The kid who plays Alex is 8 years old, not 5.

[@MovieLover1995]

His name is Alex D. Linz. He also starred in Max Keeble's Big Move in which he would've been 12.

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

+Andrew Toone He also went to college with one of my newer teachers, apparently. She said he was a dick.

[@aussieman3021]

+Andrew Toone Also, if you have watched John Hughes' 1984 film Sixteen Candles, the actress who played Caroline Mulford in that movie was Alex's mother in this movie. Haviland Morris is her name. In addition to acting, she's also a real estate agent as well.

[@MovieLover1995]

He also did voice acting in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald. IDK if anybody remembers those. They were those animated videos you would get at McDonald's in the late 90's-early 2000's.

[@KMMed-fo8xc]

Andrew Toone Still, AN EIGHT YEAR OLD FASHIONED HIMSELF A MOBILE SECURITY NETWORK! for an eight year old, that is some talented sh*t...

[@EyeOfArgus]

am I the only one who noticed that the SECRET AGENTS didn't seem to be prepared for any traps?

[@EyeOfArgus]

***** Secret Agents have to always keep there guard up, never under estimate someone, and even after they notice there are traps they would probably come to the conclusion that there are more/

[@Ksensei41]

12:29

[@LucianoThePig]

The first two were great! Then they made the third one and it all went down hill

[@01superchunk66]

all those movies he said, home alone 2, dennis the menace, miracle remake, 101 dalmatians, babies day out, i liked all of them

[@SoKoLDS]

this is actually my favourite home alone

[@Paul91-]

The Critic seriously needs to watch Home Alone 4 if he thinks that this film is horrible

[@flemingquadre]

wonder what his thoughts are on home alone 4

[@giusec2000]

+Mrgamerandwatcher He died after watching it.

[@egoexertus232]

This movie isn't THAT bad. At least it doesn't suck as bad as the fourth one (yes they made a fourth one).

[@dude37]

Bullshit. **goes and check Netflix** Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me... It really does exist. And just reading the short description, I can tell that it's gonna blow more than a prostitute on nickle night.

[@egoexertus232]

Oh, it sure does. I watched it once a while back and I didn't even like it then. The worst part is that they tried to bring back all of the old characters from the first two movies, but with different actors. It's just a mess.

[@jayNicks10]

Hell, they recently made a 5th one. Christmas of 2012 entitled Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist. Never saw it, not interested. also not interested in 4 either for obvious reasons. HA: 4 Stars HA2: 3.5 Stars HA3: 1 Star HA4: Not Interested HA5: Not Interested

[@C12omega]

or the 5th one good god that was the most horrible of all of em

[@haydentrupish3465]

Love that rear window reference, I'm dying hahaha

[@lavabite]

You know, I once saw this at a friends house and all I remember is the lawn mower scene.

[@Lillian2167]

What parent leaves their young sick child alone in the house!! WTF!

[@weirdo3381]

What's wrong with Home Alone 2?

[@Fizzypumpkin]

I think the major problem was that it was just a rehash of the first one.

[@andrewtuell1991]

It undid all the development the characters had gone through in the first movie only to have them go through the EXACT same development AGAIN in a far less interesting and believable way. The only reason doesn't get grouped with the other sequels as being bad, even though it should, is because it's pretty much just a shot for shot remake of the first just using different settings.

[@johndoe3189]

why has he not done home alone 4? that was actually SUPPOSED to have been kevin, and is the worst thing ever

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Andrew Nesterov No he doesn't,

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Andrew Nesterov Then you haven't watched anything he's done in the last year or two.

[@GingerBagels]

Andrew Nesterov he's only 'the nostalgia critic' when reviewing old movies at other times he is 'that guy with the glasses'

[@PatRobAl95]

Oh my god, that Rear Window Raymond Burr reference had me on the floor laughing

[@alexandriakitty5024]

Nostalgia Critic, I love your work. It's whay shows me actually laughing and reminds me what my laugh sounds like. Its entertaining and stupidly funny while also being good. Your amazing :)

[@FirnonZodd]

I guess the NC isn't into TF2, when the movie spies are being arrested would have been a perfect time to have the TF2 Spy say "You are an embarrassment to spies everywhere" There's a FIFTH Home Alone movie?!? Oh my- The first was good, the second was okay, 3 and 4 were just... what this video said, but a fifth movie!?

[@themurderersfolley5995]

also hearing about a 6th in the works

[@jaydencrowe8111]

Oh fuck no. A sixth?!?! That's like making a "Jingle All The Way 2" oh wait.....

[@helioskitty9328]

Good first movie with a bunch of shitty sequels riding on the back of the first one's success? Traps that cause harm to lots of adults for making bad decisions in their lives? Holy shit, why don't they just rename this Saw: Child Slapstick Edition?

[@jasonhylnd001]

HeliosKitty Home Alone 2 was a very worthy follow-up, same story, but more exciting. And you can't go wrong with the addition of the legendary Tim Curry.

[@jasonhylnd001]

***** Thank you.

[@LeftoverTrickshootin]

If you think that was bad, you should see Home Alone 4

[@evilfangs]

That milk carton of the week line killed me.

[@tyrant-den884]

I remember stumbling onto this on cable as a little kid. I do not think I ever figured out that it was a comedy.

[@terrykohut1651]

home alone 2 was great it didnt suck. and how come u never reviewed home alone 4 that sucked even more as home alone 3.

[@johnalogue9832]

This movie gives North Koreans too much credit.

[@jaymesraymond9548]

I love nostalgia critic, but I thought the Richard Attenborough miracle on 34th was very good!......just me?

[@AwesomeGirl86]

Funny you should say that. In his most recent videos, the Top 12 Christmas Santas, he mentioned that he liked the performances of both Santa Claus from the new and old versions of Miracle on 34th Street films. :)

[@SaurianStudios1207]

11:05 looks like he falls through 10-15 stories despite the house having only 3 floors and movie actually shows him removing the floors

[@josef733]

3:50 Is that a stormtrooper engineer helmet?

[@sebili0n99]

yes, thats because he is either a fan of star wars and somehow that was on sale, or he is a son of a nerd
