This is a classic! But the older I get, the more I realize how dysfunctional Kevin’s family is (he gets overlooked and scapegoated so much!). That scene with old man Marley in the church is unexpectedly deep for a film this cute, and a good lesson for parents trying to do right by their children.

One of the things I`ve noticed (and really appreciate) in this movie, is the symbolism with Marley`s (the old man) wounded hand. When Kevin meets him in the store, his hand is badly wounded. In church his hand is healing. And when he reunites with his family his hand is healed.

I’m sure people have commented this already but the three keys to Kevin getting left behind are: 1. Sleeping upstairs by himself (since he didn’t want to sleep with Fuller) 2. Spilled drinks on his plane ticket and passport that accidentally got thrown in the garbage in the chaos (meaning they wouldn’t see it at the airport and notice his absence) 3. Miscounting the neighbor’s child as Kevin (Mom lets her guard down believing everyone is accounted for) It still is pretty crazy not one person noticed, but they do lay some decently good groundwork for it!

My sister has 10 kids and does a roll call in the car before they leave. Our parents once drove off and left that sister sitting in her baby carrier on the front porch at my grandparents but they realized it immediately and just drove around the block to find my grandmother waiting patiently beside the baby carrier. A friend and I did see a woman pull out of a parking lot with a baby carrier on her roof. We pulled behind her at a stop light and my friend jumped out and ran up to the car, knocked on the window, and lifted down the carrier. The woman burst into tears while he buckled the baby in the back seat and kept thanking him. People were honking and I was so mad because it just made the woman more flustered. The whole thing took less than three minutes but people were so impatient.

I think a lot of the times when old man Marley looks scary, we're seeing a representation of what Kevin, as a young kid with Buzz's claims about Marley in his mind, is imagining.

[@richardeckman9273]

It’s an absolute brilliant classic of a movie. John Candy (God rest his beautiful soul) was nothing short of a comedic genius. His Uncle Buck character is a crass, lazy doofus, but he’s got a heart of gold. Candy injects the character with such tremendous, infectious warmth, you can’t help but love the guy & root for him. This, in addition to Planes, Trains, & Automobiles, along with Only the Lonely (…anyone who thinks John Candy can’t act, watch that film. Yes, it’s a lighthearted romantic comedy, but there are some very serious dramatic moments in it as well which proves Candy had genuine range & skill) are THE definitive performances he gave. He was taken from us far too soon. Please watch & react to Uncle Buck and Only the Lonely, Oscar. You’ll truly have a wonderful time. 😊

[@celinelia8127]

Truly a coming-off-age, growing up story. Kevin acts like a child at first, thinking his family magically disappeared but gradually learns to take care of himself as a grown up. Even becoming friends with the old neighbour is such a grown up scene, it's how two adults become friends, not children.... The end shows he doesn't need his family, he's an adult, but he still wants them..aaaand he would never have survived without his new friend. Also, the family at the beginning is stressed out, specifically the parents and they don't pay attention to Kevin's valid complaints. That is realistically what happens to many kids, but the movie tries to make it clear that it's because of the unusal stressful situation. Kevin is trying to explain what bothers him but his mother simply shuts him out. It makes sense because parents tend to do that when stressed. It also makes sense that Kevin wants his family to disappear because his concerns and struggles are being constantly disregarded.

[@pastelpaperback]

You’re one of the first reactors I’ve seen get emotional at the ending which was so nice to see because I always cry too!!

[@BigGator5]

"You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?" Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Hope Davis, Paula Newsome, Kristin Minter, and Tracy J. Connor. Family Affair Fact: The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's little brother Kieran Culkin in his feature film debut. All In Fact: Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern felt indifferent about the movie's potential during shooting, so they intentionally gave over-the-top performances, neither one of them believed this movie would become a massive success. Mrs. Doubtfire Award Fact: The picture Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) finds of Buzz's (Devin Ratray) girlfriend was a picture of a boy made up to look like a girl, because director Chris Columbus thought it would be too cruel to make fun of a girl like that. The boy that was used in the photo was art director Dan Webster's son. What Script Fact: The line "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" was improvised by Macaulay Culkin. Marv's lines "Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?" and "Maybe he committed suicide?" were improvised by Daniel Stern. John Candy filmed his part in only one day, albeit a twenty-three-hour day. Almost all of his dialogue was improvised. Thank You Very Much Fact: There is a legend that Elvis Presley (who died in 1977) made a cameo in this movie. Many of those who believe that Elvis is still alive maintained that the heavily bearded man standing in the background of the scene where Mrs. McCallister is shouting at the desk clerk (just before she meets John Candy) as Elvis. They asserted for years that the man is in the correct age range (Elvis would have been around 55 at the time), makes a head movement that Elvis frequently made during concerts, and that no record has ever been found about this particular actor's participation in the movie. The theory was finally debunked in 2018, when investigative journalists identified the extra as a man called Gary Richard Grott, who had passed away from a heart attack in February 2016. Grott's family was able to confirm that it was Grott in the movie, and also revealed that he had been working regularly as an extra on several Chris Columbus' movies, although Home Alone (1990) was the first one that he actually appeared in.

The polka guy is John Candy, one of the most famous comedians in 70’s and 80’s. He passed away young sadly, but his movies are great

[@Coilla85]

Loved the reaction! Home alone 1 and 2 are classics for me and I don't mind watching them each year during Christmas!

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too

Merry Christmas Oscar!🎄🎁🪅👶🏻🎂✝️🙏☮️

Merry Christmas Oscar

[@neerajnambudiri9971]

One of the best comedies out there. A great portrayal of the progression from a scared kid to a capable and responsible child to a ruthless psychopath😂

[@gal7753]

What's really amazing is that Marv and Harry's stunt actors Actually took those falls on concrete. Without padding or anything. They were just pros who knew how to safely fall and take it.

[@verityg1990]

Great reaction! Absolutely love this movie, it’s a classic. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@__Krystal__]

28:58 you had mac & cheese ONCE!? Love your reaction, but I think that surprised me the most 😂

[@adrianhempfing2042]

I'm not a Mac and cheese person either. I wonder if there is a difference between usa vs australia on that

[@ImprovisionFilm]

​@adrianhempfing2042 I don't think it's very popular in Australia. I don't know anyone who eats it. Also, Kraft isn't a popular brand here. It's usually referred to as the plastic cheese brand. Their treatment of local Bega Cheese probably didn't help their brand image either.

[@adrianhempfing2042]

@@ImprovisionFilm agreed . Especially Mac and cheese in a box , powdered cheese 🤮

[@rhiannonlee7063]

Mac & Cheese is very popular in Australia. You can buy the Kraft one here as well as other packet versions, but most people I know make their own. I don't understand how he's only eaten it once.

[@Coilla85]

Really surprised seeing this movie on your channel, but so happy to see your reaction on this! :D

[@littleogeechee223]

WOW, was waiting for this one, Oscar, and you did not disappoint!

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

John Williams did music for pretty much everything, yes Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, some of the Harry Potters, you name it.

[@tudorjason]

20:10 - In the book version, this couple leaves without helping Kate.

[@mystisith3984]

Even if Christmas was taken out of this movie, it would still be one of the best family movies ever. So freaking entertaining too. Anyone going full on Mac Gyver to defend their homes are heroes in my book.

[@justinm.1]

Harry’s reaction to getting shot in the gut (29:31) & Marv’s delayed reaction to the nail will always get me (31:20) 😂

[@WinterLynne94]

Change the G to an N there. Harry was shot a bit more down south ^^;

[@yuuhisaka8724]

Thank you for reaction) This movie is the gold - no, brilliant - classic. There are a lot of little details, which make you love this movie even more. For example, dad accidantely throw Kevin's ticket in the trash can, when Kevin made a chaos in the kitchen or "Bolice" on Harry's cap, because he probably bought this uniform in costume shop.

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

Imagine watching this as an 8 year old boy who has similar family struggles. It was empowering and life changing ❤ Hands down, best Christmas movie ever 🎉

[@JeM130177]

LOOOOL it WAS like a Tom and Jerry scream I've never thought of that 🤣

[@nathancruz9172]

33:36 yep. 😂

[@marty_ina89]

you're so cute, the way you cry over something emotional or laugh at funny scenes...I enjoy alot watch your reactions, even if i'm italian xP hope you'll do more reactions soon, expecially animated movies or some more colossal ^^

[@adrianhempfing2042]

Cocoa how is it possible you didn't see this before ? It's like the most famous childrens , christmas film and still played on Aussie tv

[@LucaHittendo]

The second one is also a must watch

[@geeemm8028]

I hope you're doing Home Alone 2 too!

[@irenemichelleanne]

I grew up on this movie. I've seen quite a few reactions to this Home Alone. This is probably my favorite movie reaction to it. I can still remember seeing this in the movie theater with my older cousin when we were kids. LOL, Our grandma dropped us off at the movie theater and then picked us up later. I think my grandma and my aunts were doing after-Christmas shopping? It was definitely a different time because nobody thought anything of dropping a 9 yr old and an 11 yr old off at the movie theater and just bailing. The car ride home we were still laughing over this movie. I watch 1 and 2 every year. LOL even as an adult I think it total crap that Buzz never gets in trouble for stuff he does. Especially since he's way older than Kevin. Buzz irritates me. You definitely should watch the sequel, Lost in New York at some point. You should also check out Uncle Buck, The Good Son, and, My girll. Oh and you should check out the movie Better watch Out.

[@kennethcook9406]

Macaulay's character 'Kevin' was supposed to be 8, but he was 10 when this was filmed. And Fuller (the bed-wetter) is Macaulay's real-life little brother, Kieran.

[@Jaymat_flix]

Kevin's thoughts after wishing his family would "disappear": "Someday they'll be sorry. One day my family will notice something cool I might do, and they'll be like, 'Hey! We screwed up! We never should have said those bad things about Kevin, because he's a special kid.' "

[@tracyhart4031]

love your reactions, having the ability to watch you experience this movie for the first time brings pure joy and excitement to it again. Merry Christmas! Cant wait to see more from you!

[@KenzieTrinityDeasy]

First one is a classic but the second one is the best

[@nancyrodriguez9253]

Fun fact my auntie was working at the airport in Chicago when they filmed the scene of them running for the plane, she saw everything 😊

[@natalieholmes1117]

I'm with you on space being good for families. Choosing to spend time together when you miss people feels much better than being forced to 24/7. It is so hard when you are a kid and want that space.

[@Dd8505]

Great reaction video pal, perfect for this time of year

[@bidishah]

Such a joy to watch you enjoy this classic so much! I've watched this movie an embarrassing amount of times. 😂

[@billiebuffalo]

You've got a few days to go. Just enough time to sneak in Home Alone 2. That's my favorite Christmas movie!

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too
