I know I know, I keep refering to this as a 80's movie when it came out in 1990. But at least it was filmed in the 80's right? Haha. I hope you enjoy the Home Alone Reaction. 💬 Comment below with your thoughts on the movie and what movies you would like to see in the future.

They actually used a boy for the photo of Buzz's girlfriend, because they didn't want to possibly hurt the feelings of a young girl, especially once the movie was released.

Fun Fact: For the scene where Harry and Marv almost hit Kevin with their van, they actually shot the entire scene "backwards" for safety reasons. So, Kevin screams, the van backs away from him and then he walks backwards out of the way. Then, they played the footage backwards to make it seem like he was walking out in front of their van and they almost hit him. Also, the scene where the fake Santa goes to drive off and his car breaks down was 100% unscripted. The car actually did stall out when the actor tried to drive off so his reaction was totally legit. The scene where they put the tarantula on Marv's face, they initially told the actor they were going to use a fake one and at the last second, used a real one without telling the actor. That look of fear on his face was true and genuine. The main issue was when they actually shot it, he had to not actually scream else he would spook the tarantula and end up possibly getting bit, so his screaming was actually silent and they went back and added in a recording of him screaming afterwards. And when you think about it, it makes sense as to why Kevin wouldn't call the cops right away. The first time he saw Harry, he was dressed as a cop. He then saw Harry as him and Marv finished robbing another home and later overheard them talking about coming back to rob his place. He is just a kid so maybe he is thinking that since he saw Harry dressed as a cop and Harry is now trying to rob is house, that he can't trust calling the cops.

I think there are five siblings. Kevin, Buzz, the brother who called Kevin a disease, a sister who counted heads, and a sister that called Kevin "les incompetents." The rest are Kevin's cousins.

You are now required by Christmas Law to watch the second movie 😂 It's equally as entertaining as this one!

So that's actually three families worth of kids! There's kevin, his parents and his siblings, who live in the house. Then there's the jerky uncle and his wife and kids that are there too, visiting/going to paris together. Then there's the kids of an unseen aunt and uncle, who live in paris. Their kids are in America, I'm assuming visiting family or for school. They're all travelling together, Kevin's family and Jerky Uncle's family, to visit the aunt and uncle that live in Paris, while the kids that live in paris are going home to their parents.

I love that John Candy and Macaulay were reunited in this after Uncle Buck. Even though they weren't in a scene together, close enough. Also the funeral scene by Candy was completely improvised, which makes it even more hilarious. And Marv's spider death scream is legit. He had arachnophobia. The greatest crime in this certainly...is that Kevin didn't even get to eat his Macaroni and Cheese. It's actually a tragedy...

Kevin has an attitude but after seeing how his family treats him you understand why. 1. They said thd phones would be out for awhile after the electricity was restored. 2. I figured the old man next door helped Kevin clean up and probably kept an eye on him from his house till his family got home once he realized he was alone....except they forgot Buzz's room.

The reason I think this movie holds up so incredibly well is that they didn't just skimp over the little details. All of the setup in the beginning pays off, from the neighbor, the spider, to all the details of how Kevin was left behind. And then the neat little way it wraps up with the touching moment of the neighbor reuniting with his family, but it's a comedy! So you're immediately snapped back to the comedy with his brother yelling about his room. It's just such a delightfully perfect well wrapped comedy. It is interesting, though, hearing some of the language used so frequently compared to modern stuff lol. They make good use out of "hell" and "ass" for being a kid/family movie. I remember Shrek surprising me with his line "Well I have to save my ass!" but it's the double entendre of him referring to Donkey. And that was just one time in the movie, vs like a dozen times in this.

Home Alone 2 definitely worth a watch! 1 and 2 are so great 😍

As I understand the dynamics of Kevin's family, his dad is one of 3 brothers. One brother, Kevin's Uncle Rob, moved to Paris fairly recently, and his children are still in the US finishing up school. The other brother is Kevin's nasty uncle, Frank. Kevin is the youngest of 5 siblings, with 2 older sisters, Megan and Linnie (the one who called Kevin "incompetent" in French), and 2 older brothers, Buzz and Jeff (the one who looks like Ron Weasley from Harry Potter). The rest of the kids in the house at the beginning are Kevin's cousins, Heather, Sondra, Rod, Tracy, Steffan, Brook and Fuller. Simple as a government bill, right?

I love that you keep calling the entryway of their home a ‘lobby’ it’s such a giant house!! Apparently the mom (yes from beetle juice, and schitt’s creek) is a fashion designer which is why there are so many mannequins 1:41

Peter (the father) has another brother who lives in Paris. His kids are also on the trip, traveling back home.

Great reaction! 😊 This one and the second one are both a must watch for me during the holiday season. The ending when Harry and Marv are going through the house of traps that Kevin has set up always my favorite part of the movie. Also when the neighbor is reunited with his son at the end. You should definitely watch the second one, "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York". It's just as funny, if not funnier than this one. And it is a Christmas movie. Another great Christmas movie that I very highly recommend of you haven't seen it yet is the 1984 "Gremlins". Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

Im 41 and still love this classic and palying this video on Christmas Eve every year.

$1.19 for a gallon of milk is the most unbelievable part of this movie 😂😂 Please watch Home Alone 2!

23:30 fun fact, That wasn't going to happen. In the script, the car just drove away, it really died.

As many times as I have seen this, I never knew that he had thrown away a passport. Wow

Didn't have cell phones in the 90s to set your alarm. Good old fashioned alarm clock. This movie could never work in 2023

9:56 Not all of the kids were from the same parents. Some of them were Kevin's cousins since his uncle and aunt were sleeping over so they could all go on their trip together.

the cat hug was the cherry on top!

All of john candy's dialog wasn't scripted and i think he was a last minute addition

"Every kid wants to watch a movie they're not supposed to" Reminds me of being a 90s kids (born Dec, 23, 1987, you better wish me Happy Birthday in six days, lol, jk :3 ), my Dad said I wasn't allowed to watch Beavis and Butt-Head. So when staying at my Half-Sisters apartment (13 years older than me on my Mom's side), I asked her to rent Beavis and Butt-Head for me at Block Buster. I loled when Santa Butt-Head said he was gonna slove Beavis' antlers you know where side-ways XD

"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.

Time is really moving been watching this show from I was 8 years old now I'm 18 years old

Macaulay Culkin's brother Kieran Culkin was in home alone 1&2 as well

This is an instant Holiday Classic

Daniel Stern's screams are amazingly good :D Pointed out in another comment too, but yeah that spider-induced scream fully genuine, and the pitch reached is insane xD

It's pretty hilarious that harry has a code. he doesn't want to flood their house, but he's o k with robbing them on the holidays while they are on vacation.

Those of y'all's who have flown to Europe know that the eastbound is overnight while westbound takes place during daylight, thus an early morning flight from Chicago to Paris is non-existent thanks to the North Atlantic Tracks governance for transatlantic flights. The MaCallisters would have to live in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast to catch a daytime flight. Even if daytime flights from the Midwest to Western Europe existed, the 8-9 hour flight plus time change would put them in the old world close to midnight!

I wish we could go back to the 90s with food prices being so much lower than today's prices.

Old Man Marley the South Bend Shovel Slayer 😅

Some of the kids are the aunt and uncles. Some of the kids are the belong to the other uncle who is in Paris on a diplomatic post.

According to the imdb app the next door neighbor was supposed to play kevin but they auditioned mac instead

Awesome Xmas 🎄 movie. I’m a 90’s kids

This was great. You should watch the second one too, that's also pretty great, at times even better.

23:31 I had a similar first car. It was almost as old as I was, and was a hand-me-down from my parents, who got it as a hand-me-down from my grandparents. It was dark blue where it still had paint, and dull gray where it didn't. The ceiling adhesive had worn off, so the driver had to use one arm to keep the drooping ceiling out of his/her line of sight. It went just fine, but had trouble stopping, as it was a bulky old sedan with old, underpowered brakes. I affectionately dubbed it "POJ", short for "Pile Of Junk".

Just watched this last night. But ill definitely watch it again.

No, the mom and dad only have I think 3 or 4 of the kids. They had extended family visiting, (brothers/sisters and their kids) and some of the kids said their parents were in France so they're going there to meet more family lol

i was standing from afar so my dad wouldent notice me, he was watching Freddy Krueger and i swear to god i couldent sleep for two whole weeks

Liked the video even before it started!! I haven't watched your videos in so long and I missed it so much. Home Alone is one of my favorites and I recently started rewatching them and was actually looking to see if you had reacted to it so I'm very excited to watch your reaction and I hope you love it as much as I do!!

Can’t believe you’ve not seen Home Alone haha great reaction as always Ed :-) keep up the great work

Orphanage? That wasn't an orphanage.. It was an entire family. Some of the kids are Kevin's siblings, the others are cousins.

Kevin has just 4 siblings, the rest are his cousins.

great classic , second is fun too and also on christmas

Thank you. Kevin‘s cousins were at the house in the beginning which is why we see so many kids. It took me watching 3 times to realize it.

The scene where the car won't start that really happened and wasn't scripted

I don't think all those kids live there. The other family was staying over before they all left for Paris.

You should see the torture he puts them through in the second movie

When the man screamed with the spider on his face, I heard that it is a real scream because he fears spiders 😂 The bit where he's hung up on the door, the guy actually bit his finger by accident and left a permanent scar

Only like 4 or 5 of the kids are theirs, the rest are nieces and nephews 😂

It is funny with all the attacks they took from the house. Kevin did a good job protecting the house. Lol.

12:45 - if I was the parents, I would hire a babysitter to come stay with Kevin until the family returns.

There was multiple families in that house visiting that were going on the trip thats why there was so many kids and adults they only have 3 kids

The aunt , uncle, and cousins are only spending the night at the house because they are traveling together. Only one family lives at thehouse. That's why the imposter cop couldn't get a clear answer from the other kids, because they don't live there.

My wife and I love these movies well the first 2 we haven't seen the rest past 3

I don't know an 80s baby alive who didn't grow up on these movies man lol this was my childhood brotha. One of my favorite movies of the 90's. I actually loved 2 more.

11:48 hes parents must have hated him lol

Just gotta love this classic, you can watch it every Christmas and it never gets old! This was a ton of fun 👏 P.S. Your cat is ADORABLE

theres home alone 2 i'd say you'll love that one too

I highly *highly* recommend the movie "Barry Lyndon"!

So that the spider wouldn't get scared danel sterns scream was added later

Perfect Timing❤

My best friend Nick and I would have b.b. gun wars. Randomly the way we decided to try it was when he came out to the house and brought his b.b. gun and we realized that we had the exact same make and model. So it was even odds in firepower.....plus we were curious how badly it hurt. (Depends where it hits) We WERE smart enough to wear gun range quality eye protection. We WERENT smart enough to wear anything but shorts, sandals, and t shirts. Before long we had to do it on the sly. My cousin was in town and we were having a war. We decided to just do Everyone against everyone. My cousin had a pretty smart idea of hiding in our tree house. But Nick (even to this day) has the best aim of anyone Ive ever met. He shot through a square window that was only 1' by 1' at the exact moment he popped his head up. He caught a b.b. to the forehead that bled....a lot. His mom came to see what was up and LOST HER MIND. We managed to keep all of our guns from being taken By convincing the parents that a ricochet BB did that to him.

Favorite Christmas movie. You should react to the second one as well !!

The second one is really good also 😊

My favorite Christmas movie !

How have you not ever seen this it's a classic and a staple of Christmas

Merry Christmas

Only Kevin, Linnie, Buzz, Megan, and Jeff are brothers and sisters. The rest of them are cousins.

I was shot in the big toe with an air rifle. I didn't think it went through my shoe but after limping real bad for 3 weeks I finally went to hospital thinking my toe was broke or something. Well the pellet was in my toe against the bone haha. Nurse couldn't believe I'd been walking about on it all that time, ah the memories.

Originally the "furnace" bit was going to be a longer thing ending with kind of an animated sequence about it coming to life but they scaled it way back due to budget issues.

Home Alone-a-GREAT-film,love it. It's gross total : $476.7 million on an $18 million dollar budget.Grand slam hit. Macaulay and the other actors on this film wanted to do a sequel ( they thought one film was enough )but,the movie studio wanted one any way ( can't blame them tho )hence-HOME ALONE 2. After the sequel Culkin was done with HA,4 more Home Alone movies were made,but,none of them had the success of the first 2 films.

Please react to number 2! Home Alone 1 and 2 are by far the best Christmas films. We watch them every single Christmas. Home Alone 3 is also great but you have to look at it as a completely separate film because it's different characters and has nothing to do with 1 and 2.

I love Macaulay Culkin so much he’s such a great actor I love him my childhood Macaulay Culkin made Home Alone & Home Alone 2 legendary hell he made films like The Good Son The Pagemaster Richie Rich My girl legendary❤️

The mother was in Beetlejuice, yes, but the great Catherine O'Hara - who, like yourself, is Canadian - is a huge star really. Strangely, Beetlejuice and Home Alone isn't what made her a star. It was a) being apart of the stable of actors/comedians of director Christopher Guest (5th Baron Haden-Guest in England, husband of Jamie Lee Curtis) with other comedians such as Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer (The Simpsons), Fred Willard, Jane Lynch, etc. who star in his improvisational films like A Mighty Wind, Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show (one of the funniest movies EVER), and For Your Consideration. But what made her really famous is probably $chitts Creek with Eugene Levy.

this was not an 80's movie, this was a 90's movie.

Not all the kids lived there. It was Kevin's family plus his aunt, uncle and cousins.

Man I love shrimp. Now I do have a friend that loves Fish & Chips but hates Shrimp, so being a seafood fan doesn't automatically mean you'll like Shrimp. But if you do have any interest in seafood, it's at least worth trying them.

1:05 he is 8 and never did pack his suit case that's why.

How much is milk where you're at? Here in wisconsin, it varies, but it's only like 2.30 for a gallon. Love the reactions look forward to the next one

Yeah, this was long before youtube existed.

They had their whole extended family staying there before the flight. Buzz is his brother, and I think he has a sister but the rest are cousins

No freaking way bro. Your choices have been awesome this season

I love Watching Home Alone

This is my favorite Christmas movie remind me of my childhood when I used to watch it new on VHS

They are not all their kids

It was his ticket that was thrown away and his sister counted herself twice

Shrimp is one of the most delicious foods ever! Your missing out.

comedy gold!

McCauley only made $110,000 in the first Home Alone?! That’s blasphemy because that was my favorite one! He should have at least gotten a cool mil because this is the one in the franchise that everyone remembers the most!

Cool reaction brother is home alone 2 on your watch list?

park jimin be like 😄

Home alone 3 is my favorite

Hey man if you see this I was hopeful that one day you will react to Snowden if you haven’t seen it it’s good

I can't understand how that many people in a house and a group didn't see Kevin at all in the van or on the plane or trying to go through the Airport security. Trust me I have traveled that way. So how they didn't know he wasn't there until they were already in midair is sad. That poor boy could run away, and it would take a week before they noticed him gone. I find it rather hard for a huge family in the numbers that they are traveling with and no one even notices that Kavin is not there? Not in the van sure the one girl counted the other kid by mistake, but what about when they reached the airport or driving to the airport that's a lot of eyes seeing whole lot of nothing. Kavin is so invisible to his family. I have no sympathy for that mom or anyone in his family. I love the whole robbers trying to break in and him defending the home that is funny stuff, But I don't excuse the family at all. An 8-year-old alone. I am surprised Kevin wasn't removed from the family. Shit in today's day that what would have happened. It's a good movie. But honestly the family is irresponsible as hell.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BALLSACK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey hey

Not that I disagree that the cost of groceries has skyrocketed since this movie, but where do you shop that a gallon of milk is $7? I pay $3 or just under at Walmart. It's never much higher than that unless I'm buying at weird spots like a gas station or Walgreens.

home alone two is worth a watch but its basically just a retread of the first movie but takes place in new york. I like home alone 3 but most people don't, and the rest of the movies should not exist.
