The purpose of the annoying neighbor kid being there was for him to be counted instead of Kevin, which is why his parents don't realize he's missing until they're on the plane.

Fun Fact: Fuller (Kieran Culkin) (the kid that drinks alot of Pepsi), is Macaulay Culkin's real brother.

"I can't believe they forgot their own son." To be fair, they have a lot of those.

"Fuller" drinking Pepsi is the actual brother of Macaulay Culkin

Only a movie written by John Hughes, directed by Chris Columbus, and music by John Williams could've produced a movie about a family leaving a child behind and it becoming a timeless, heartwarming christmas classic.

Daniel stern said in an Interview that when he did that scene with the tarantula, he was scared it would bite him, so they had somebody who knew his spiders tell him tarantulas are deaf so you could scream as loud as you wanted and it wouldnt hear a thing... leading to that iconic moment!

To be honest, Kevin is right about the family, they called him a *little jerk* but yet all of them are jerks. Only a rare few aren't.

“Maybe he committed suicide.” Is one of the funniest jokes in this film

Macaulay Culkin is now older than Katherine O'Hara was when she played his mother in this movie.

I would highly recommend watching Home Alone 2 as I think it does a great job at recapturing the spirit of the first one and it’s just really well done all around. Don’t watch any other of the sequels though, their not worth anyone’s time.

Fun fact it's kind of ironic that the pizza delivery guy was. Afraid of being shot at considering the fact that the bulletproof vest was invented by a pizza delivery guy who was tired of being shot at. In the dangerous neighborhoods where he had to deliver pizzas.

LOL I HAD COMMENTS DISABLED FOR 4.5 HOURS, MY BAD AHHHHH

@17:48 That stuntman is famous for that fall. Still today they use it as a measuring stick in stunt falls.

When I’m home alone, I scream and yell cause I don’t have someone yelling back at me to “shut up”

You have such a BEAUTIFUL singing voice 😌

Funny thing, there are some fan theories that he grew up to be Jigsaw. Makes sense if you think about it.

This movie can be summed up with the word "OW!"

The wet bandits were arrested at the neighbor's house and I'm sure the old guy was there when the cops showed up.

Trying to figure out who that actor is by his voice. Kind of funny. “Funny? Funny how? Funny like I’m a clown? Like I’m here to amuse you?”

"He's like 38 why can't he just let it go" THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY

You know it's interesting seeing people react to Home Alone. For context the guy in yellow, the Polka King dude. That was John Candy, an incredibly famous comedic actor back in the day. He was sort of like that time's Will Ferrell. Him just showing up was like a WOW moment and anything that he did people would laugh at. Not knowing him or really having context I see a lot of reactors be like "Ew, who is this creep?" Also the gun Kevin has is a BB gun, it just uses air to shoot a little pellet.

The entire 2 seconds of you singing was amazing lol, you have a nice voice.

Die hard is the west coast " Home alone " Christmas movie.

I'm 12 years old and I love being home alone and yesterday I was home alone and my mom was gone for 14 hours and I was hungry

13:34 The funny thing is Buzz wouldn't last a day in the real world Btw you're helplessly beautiful

You did a great job with your hair, and the style looks good on you.

I know I've said this before, but I seriously cannot get over your editing. Your wit and timing are always on point! 😂 also 20:05 is a work of ART

You said it, Useless Adults! I grew up in a Chicago suburb and still live in the city. As a kid, this film hit like a tornado, quotable, smash hit in theaters, launched Culkin's career like a rocket...but over the years the backlash over this film was stronger than I anticipated. Not just the unbelievable antics, but how unbelievable the characters are as well. As a college freshmen in the south loop, I got together with a few guys in my dorm during that first cold winter weekend before school let out and we took the Metra to the burbs. They had a lot of money and free time and I had nothing else going on. We were talking about the movie and how it was everywhere when we were young, how it was considered a huge holiday juggernaut. They were drunk, I was following along, and they decided, spur of the moment, to visit all the locations from the movie that we could. We went to the church in Winnetka first, then the house in Wilmette, then Hubbard Woods park where Kevin runs with the toothbrush...that's a six mile hike in the snow with 4 drunk guys knocking back Heineken's all night long. They'd grown-up in the area and loved the attention their neighborhood had gotten from the film...and I realized that these bozos loved the movie because they were just like Kevin, and the rest of his siblings, in the movie: unsupervised brats. Tons of money, lots of free time, access to all kinds of toys and goodies and technology...and their parents were basically a non-entity. Working their asses off for their kids so they can screw around, get a pricey education and drink their way through school. Not a lot of consequences for their behavior, either. All of them missed class the following Monday and shrugged it off like "Eh, so what? I'll just retake the class in the spring." The whole time I'm thinking "Wow, Kevin's character isn't as Hollywood as I thought."

I grew up watching this movie every Christmas ,and your comment about Marv screaming from his soul had me bent over sideways with laughter for a full 10 minutes. Thanks for making my day😂

That skit by the end.. omg.. I didn’t expect that but I completely loved it!! Also, your commentary and reaction to this is so freaking entertaining!! You’re such a brilliant KZfaqr!! And I’m so happy that you finally watched this because you definitely gave a lot of insightful and hilarious comments! 😊 it definitely is an iconic film and this video is equally iconic!!

Your right about him just looking like a regular old man. Kevin believed the story he was told about him and i guess the shovel didn't help. Maybe it was just more about the stories he was told and not so much about the mans appearance

I always wonder what would have happened if the old man hadn’t shown up when he did and whether Joe Pesci would have really bitten the kid’s fingers off. Would be a bit of a downer ending.

That "cop" is Joe Pesci. Such an underappreciated & underrated actor. He can be very intimidating one minute and be very funny the next. Fyi, a future movie to react to: My Cousin Vinny.

Kevin doesn’t get enough credit for absolutely trashing his house and masterfully cleaning up all the evidence

Ah yes, alternate universe John Kramer and his humble beginnings, where he got his first taste for blood and carnage.

Omg! I was so sad that I didn't have too much in common with you after the Avatar series, but you're watching home alone!! letsgo!!!

I love that comment about how he should become an engineer, because it's clear you haven't heard the theory that he becomes Jigsaw.

not gonna lie, future kevin looking hella cute!

If I’m honest, I wish we could hear Sophia sing just a bit more. From what she gives us in this video, it sounds like she has a really good voice.

I think she should react to pirates of the Caribbean, just a simple sugestión

Sliding down the stairs on a sled was something I did when my parents WERE home.

btw, there are some effects hidden around the movie. here are 2 examples: the time that kid gets crushed by the chair ( or whatever ), the chair is actually rubber. and when that guy gets his head on fire, its a greenscreen. and for all the effects, the one who is responsible to pay for it, is Kevin. yes, Kevin. that kid left home alone.

Home Alone is one of my favorites You should definitely check out Home Alone 2 Lost in New York

Lol I'm just waiting for you to realize that's Joe Pesci

And now you have to watch Home Alone 2! ❤️

Girl, me too. If my family disappeared, Idk what I'd do. I had separation anxiety as a kid, still do. I just- no. Haha

Chestnuts? Girl your VOICE is fire!!

Hey girl, I just discovered your channel, and I can already tell, imma like you 😂😂😂😂

I never noticed before that that the person seated behind Kate jerks awake when she yelled Kevin's name upon realizing that they had left him behind.

8:54 yeah I would have definitely thought I was in a goosebumps story and everyone was gonna act like I never had a family in the first place

Daniel Stern's scream is just pure terror. Iconic. But an iron to the skull from that height should probably have killed Marv on the spot. He gets it even worse in the sequel.

7:57 Don't worry, it's here in Chicago, all the ants are dead (or in hiding for the winter) :D 9:27 My stairs aren't carpeted, but yeah, I've visit many growing up. I didn't need a blanket or a pillow. I always slid down stairs using just my pants and my legs straight, lol. 9:52 It's here in Chicago. O'Hare is only a ten minute drive from my house :D Edit: 11:35 :3

Your Reactions are always the best thing, it’s just so funny and Genuine! Keep doing you Sophie, we Appreciate you

"They're just inviting ants into their home." In the middle of winter?

Joe Pesci is in a lot of stuff and as you said his voice is unmistakable

We need Home Alone 2! Please! Best one and please dont skip the good parts

I can't believe nobody is talking about her singing, she sounds amazing! Are we just gonna ignore that?? Come on guys

I fucking love your humor editing style and your corny jokes, they really have been getting me through my quarantine.

13:46 At first I thought he had given the guy a 20-cent tip, but then I realized that it'd probably go to the pizza shop and not him due to not being given (2 dimes, 4 nickels, or 1 dime and 2 nickels). Oof. 😂

OMG I LOVE THAT LITTLE SKIT YOU DID AT 20:09! It was so extra and I love it 😍

Another stellar reaction by Sophia! I'm sure you were the coolest kid on the block.

Just saying you hair looks so good on you! Also LOVE THIS MOVIE!

hi! i found you from your matilda video, thought i'd just comment this real quick. i love your smirky remarks, and your funny statements. i love watching you in the background while drawing, and switching back and forth. i usually listen to music in the background, but i was getting bored so this was so much fun and motivated me to keep drawing so thank you :D instant sub

19:22 That Roblox “Oof” was perfect. 😂😂😂😂

When you are one of many siblings you are forgotten sometimes, believe me I know lol.

We used to use our sleeping bags to sled down the stairs. It was so fun but inevitably ended in pain somehow!!

QUEEN YOU LOOK SO STUNNING RN ❤️

im currently binging all your videos cause i'm new and your hair in this is so cuteeee

YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD

I just subscribed to your channel, based on both of your Home Alone movie reviews. Merry Christmas!

Here are some Christmas/winter movies you could react to if you have not seen them: Trading Places (1983) Scrooged (1988) Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) Die Hard (1988) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) Prancer (1989) Die Hard 2 (1990) Curly Sue (1991) All I Want for Christmas (1991) Trapped in Paradise (1994) The Santa Clause (1994) With Honors (1994) The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) Bad Santa (2003)

I mean I'm on the east coast and I think we've only had snow on Christmas once in the 10 years I've lived here.

Omg your singing voice sound great 😍

I swear to god, when she started describing what she knew about home alone I thought she was describing Christmas and deadass thought I missed something in the bilble

Do you watch Succession? Fuller, the little kid with the glasses, is Macaulay's brother Kieran, and these days he is playing Roman in Succession. Kieran's also in Father of the Bride, which you should definitely see if you haven't already!

Love the sephiroth One Winged Angel theme you had during your "horrified" face

It may be the fact that I was a major history buff, but at age 8, when I first saw this movie, my first impression of the old man with the shovel was "He looks just like Benjamin Harrison" (a US President from the late 1800s).

Something unrealistic in this movie is the flight to 🗼🇫🇷 leaving in the morning. All transatlantic flights between North America and Europe are carefully coordinated due to communication deadzone between Newfoundland and the British Isles. Eastbound flights depart the US/ Canada in the afternoon/evening and arrive in Europe the next morning. Westbound flights leave Europe midday and arrive in the states in the afternoon/evening later that day... taking into account the timezone change.

I just got done watching Home Alone for the first time this Christmas Eve/Day (Jingle All the Way is my annual Christmas movie) because 1) finally have time to watch a [Christmas] movie, 2) I had to watch the movie before seeing this video. MERRY CHRISTMAS

I love that you used the Sephiroth theme for the screaming scene lol

You can change the design of the subtitles... when you go into the language selection there is a gear symbol in the top right corner, there you can select the fons, size, colour and opacity of the subs and the background.

Can we just talk about how this boy was just 8 years old and he was being objectively neglected and abused by his other brother and no one did anything about that but ridicule and abuse him further?

Another great Macaulay Culkin film you should watch is "The Good Son". a TOTALLY surprising performance from him.

Super fun reaction! Also, you have a beautiful singing voice. Funny skit too!

I think that worse people here are his parents. They forgot their son at home, they did not once themselves checked number of kids on plane. Not to mention they did not checked them ONCE on the plane. And one thing that really irritates me a lot that very small if anyone complain on them grabbing and pushing that woman from the phone, not to mention several free phones right NEXT to her. Policeman knocked, there was no answer. He did not had permit to enter and Kevin did not answered. What else was cop to do? Do not forget McCalisters did not allowed them to broke in.

your singing voice out of nowhere 😍

The movie takes place in the midwest in the Chicago suburb of Illinois so not the east coat though the sequel does take place in New York which is on the eastcoast

for me this would be fav christmas movie ever and im from argentina, +30°C on December (not the typical portrayed christmas), but yeah, this movie makes me cry, laugh, everything

Watching your reactions just makes me miss watching movies with my ex 🙃 but I do still love your reactions! Keep up the great work!! 🙌😄

fun fact: john candy (the polka king) was in this movie purely as a favor to the screenwriter, john hughes, who he'd worked with in "uncle buck" (uncle buck also has macauley culkin in it). john candy was only on set for one day, filmed for like 12 hours straight, and accepted a smaller paycheck for it than the extras. he just wanted to help the movie be successful.

In first grade during our realistic fiction unit I made a mini book series called May and Noah. May was 12 and Noah was 18 and in the first book they couldn’t find their parents at home so they were worried and went looking for them but it was the middle of the day so what 12 and 18 year olds are going to be freaking out over that.

it's the christmas micky sweater for me

You have a really great voice. Would love to hear more. Actor playing robber playing police officer is Joe Pesci. Kevin and family live in Chicago. John Hughes movie and he loves Chicago.

Every so often you get that one kid in the neighborhood who's just weird and annoying and can't take a hint lol. The Kids in the Hall had a recurring character like that called Gavin, who would just bug people in stores or neighbors just trying to paint their chairs.

That's (also) my favorite movie ever that i allways want to rewatch it

Not sure if you've seen Scott Pilgrim, but FYI, the kid with the glasses, drinking the pepsi (The "Wow!" kid) at the beginning is Macaulay Culkin's real life brother, Kieran, who played Wallace in that.

You have a really great voice; we saw that 38 seconds in. Would love to hear more. Actor playing robber playing police officer is Joe Pesci. Kevin and family live in Chicago. John Hughes movie and he loves Chicago.

I love that you added a little Final Fantasy 7 music in around 12:03 😀

I love her little potty mouth. She looks so sweet and innocent. I just watched her Matilda review. She is so good at reactions.

Merry Christmas, Sophia
