These two make Marv and Harry look like professionals

God, as if the movie wasn’t hard enough to watch, we get all this slapstick that honestly makes me want to cry. Harry and Merv were funny love to hate villains, but this is a loving, struggling couple getting tortured by a little brat. Had I watched this closer to the holidays, it would’ve crushed my spirits big time.

Let’s be honest here. Pam and Jeff are the protagonists of this movie. They’re just two parents who need money in order to keep their house just so that they and their kids could have a place to live. As a result of that, you feel more emotion for THEM instead of the main character, Max, you know, the kid who’s home alone, THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROOTING FOR? Unlike other films, in which the burglars more or less deserved what they got (First film, Wet Bandits tried to rob Kevin’s house, second film, the Sticky Bandits try to steal charity money meant to got to kids who desperately need it in a hospital, third film, four terrorists try to steal a chip that controls a missile for a North Korean terrorist organization, fourth film, Marv and his wife try to get revenge on Kevin, fifth film, three art thieves try to break into a house to steal a valuable painting and try to kill anyone who gets in their way), where whenever the robbers fall for the traps, it’s funny, here… it’s not funny. Especially when Pam starts CRYING over the fact that their kids will be forced to live on the streets just because they can’t pay their debts. This film kind of reminds me of the SpongeBob episode, One Coarse Meal. In that episode, Mr. Krabs tries to terrorize Plankton into committing suicide so that Plankton will no longer try to steal the Krabby Patty formula. Ignoring all the other major things the episode does wrong, this episode basically is saying, “It doesn’t matter what Mr. Krabs is doing here, he’s the hero, Plankton’s the villain, so if Mr. Krabs wants to drive him to suicide, that’s OK because he's the hero!” The fact is this idea DOES NOT WORK if you feel sorrier for the supposed “antagonist” of the story rather than the “protagonist”. As for Max, the main character, he’s overall pretty bland and lacks the charm of Kevin, or Alex from the first three films. Heck, even though 4 and 5 are hated by a lot of people, at least THERE they made it clear that the kid is the protagonist, and the bandits are the villains. I guess they wanted to mix things up with this film to have it stand out from the previous films, like having the villains be good because it’s Christmas and the important thing is family and all that, but the premise is way too mean spirited, and having Pam and Jeff suffering through the traps, while they are ALREADY SUFFERING FROM LOSING THEIR HOUSE AND NOT HAVING MONEY TO FEED THEIR KIDS is overall just way too depressing for me to laugh at.

I know I’m supposed to laugh, but I honestly feel bad for them since all they want to do is save their home

The writers got this film very wrong. For a start, Pam and Jeff are so likeable that these traps are just unimaginably cruel. They have done nothing to deserve such harsh punishment. Pesci and Stern genuinely wanted to kill Kevin, these two just want what is rightfully theirs and they even plead to talk to the kid. The kid, meanwhile, is a precocious little shit. Kevin was a bit entitled, THIS asshole goes to a charity toy drive for kids and demands a trolly!

“calm down and we can talk about this rationally” *gets lit on fire* Are you really telling me they are the antagonists?

Holy shit, these traps range from painfully fun to just... the the treadmill trap could have tore her damn head off! Hell, even dart trap... they could have been coated in paint or glue... nah, thumbtacks all over her upper body. These traps would be great in a story where we knew the kids life was in danger... but the fact these two are trying to save their family makes this seem unwarrented and meanspirited.

The kid seemed like the villain here and Pam and Jeff seemed like the true ones. I could feel the pain from my living room!

Disney must've forgotten this isn't the MCU, we aren't supposed to care for these villains' backstories😂

When this movie was announced I assumed they’d go easy on the traps and instead have him do harmless pranks. So I was honestly shocked at how insane some of these were

None of this works if the characters aren't cartoon coyotes who have it comin'. As written, this just plays as cruel and mean-spirited.

Thank you. Your 4 minute video saved me 90 minutes of my life. You're a life saver.

Max is a spoiled little sociopath! The joke about the traps was that the EVIL Wet Bandits suffered the pain. It was laughable because they were getting what they deserved. If these guys were evil then it would have been funny, but no they were innocent people who made a mistake and wanted to reason with Max (who they thought stole the doll) politely and leave with it. If he was my kid I'd have grounded the life out of him.

Ok they got tortured the most and they just wanted there mothers doll back

Maybe the next home alone should be named “There’s No Place To Be Home Alone” or “There’s No Place Like Home Alone”.

I miss Macaulay Culkin in the 2 Home Alone films

All they wanted was to get their doll back, and this kid... - wrecks their car - makes them slip all over the driveway - sprays Pam with soda - strikes Pam with the bottles - sets Pam's feet on fire - sprays water all over her - impales Jeff's finger on a nail - shoots a pool ball into Jeff's head - makes Jeff crash into a shelf, causing all the items on it to fall all over him - strikes Pam's toes with a spoon - leaves Legos all over the floor, for Pam's bare feet to step on - as well as her knees and hands - throws a bag of flour in Jeff's face - throws a carton of milk in Jeff's face - makes Pam slip and fall from the stairs - launches a bag of sugar at Jeff's crotch - shoots a barrage of suction darts all over Pam - crushes Pam's toes with a weight - launches a second weight, that just narrowly misses Pam's chest - knocks Pam down the stairs a second time - knocks over the trampoline, causing Jeff to bounce into a tree branch and hit the ground hard - knocks a number of sharp-looking icicles towards Jeff, that all just narrowly miss him - and trips Jeff, causing an even bigger icicle to fall and just narrowly miss his crotch And yet, not once, did they ever threaten him in any way. Does he have some serious problems or what?!

I felt bad for them They didn’t deserve all that pain they were just trying to help their family

Here’s my ranking of the traps sequence from every Home Alone movie: 1. Home Alone and Home Alone 2 2. Home Alone 3 3. Home Alone 6 4. Home Alone 5 5. Home Alone 4

This is the biggest issue with the film. The villains are too sympathetic. The reason why Home Alone 1 & 2 were funny (and even Home Alone 3) was cause they were just robbers for the thrill of it so seeing them suffer is part of the Comedy. But these are genuinely good people, seeing them suffer through all these traps was almost hard to watch and you’re honestly rooting for them.

@ Those who choose to watch this movie. Some may ask " What happened to Kevin when he grew up? " Well this movie offers a hint to the response to that question. 7 minutes and 49 seconds into the movie a sign gives us a clue. A Mc Callister home security. Perhaps Kevin and his brother now run a home security company?

I think Max is the real jigsaw killer than Kevin.

The traps make me so sorry for them.☹️

Those so called "antagonists" really aren't antagonists... Just misunderstood by the kid. If you've seen the movie, he thought they were trying to kidnap him, when they were actually talking about the doll that they thought he stole. Spoiler alert, he didn't steal it after all Basically all the main characters in this movie screwed up horribly

I think the dad would've needed at least three lives to make it through. The mom is seriously scarred and could've lost an eye or gone to urgent care. But remember, it's just movie.

2:53 there you can see Archie yates in the background running to the other room

John Hughes is Rolling in His Grave

Ooh! That lego trap looks extremely painful including when that bag of sugar hit the guy in the most obvious spot that a man ends up falling to his knees

The soda trap is really kicking!

Poor Erin just getting tortured , but I must say these traps are still nothing compared to the original

Timmy Turners dad and Eren from the office are in this movie lol. Part of why it's cool. It's the office meets fairly odd parents (never mind I only got the office part right I was reminded of timmys dad for some reason) still a good movie

Bro, when the woman steps on the legos, you can see burns on her feet from earlier. Great attention to detail!

Okay, the legos was just plain malicious!

I just love Home Alone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

2:47 he sounds like KRONK from the empeors new groove

Instead of this, the could've done a regular series simply called "Never Alone." After Kevin's latest encounter with Harry and Marv, Kevin threatened to call CPS on his parents for neglecting him twice, which scares them to death because they fear Kevin could be in an even worse household. Vowing to be better parents, Kevin later goes to college without incident and gets a degree in Law. Now a district attorney, he notices that kids around the neighborhood have neglectful parents. Kevin takes them under his wing and they form a neighborhood watch, vowing to booby trap the houses if they hear news about criminals on their radios. With Harry and Marv rotting away in prison, they get vengeance by recruiting burglars who are out on parole to hit those houses while the parents are away.

I am pretty sure that Santa husband got brain damage. Because they kept a house they can't afford. The doll is worth 200 grand. The house is worth 300 grand. How many dolls will they sell?

Jesus, max is a sadist, he tried to set Erin from the office on fire, and have the other guy reenact the nail scene from the cursed ring tape

0:44 HA! 😆🤣 running in place literally!!!!!

3:37 you really think I’m that stupid 😂

Im so watching this movie again next month. I feel bad they got hurt but still a good movie that's part of why I like it I was rooting for them to get the doll back.

2:09 Is like that one camera angle part from Harry Potter sorcerer’s stone when Hermione froze Neville.

2:03 Goddamnit not this again

To be honest I feel like Pam got more Painful traps than Jeff

The traps in this movie are better than the ones from Home Alone 4 and Home Alone 5.

So instead of defending his home. He just assaulted some people for no reason.

I don't know why , but it feels like kid is the actual villian of the movie

Nothing can measure up to Macauley Culkin's Home Alone 1 and 2. Though 3 was still pretty amazing. The storyline on this one was terrible because Jeff and Pam were only trying to get a doll back that would save their home but they unfortunately made the worst decision to obtain it and paid the ultimate price. I know this may be wrong but some of the traps were funny, but if the storyline had been different with Max not being such a little monster and the main antagonists were robbers similar to Harry and Marv, I'm sure this would of been better.

Well this movie was better than Home Alone 4 and 5.

This is actually painful to watch The movie isn't as cartoony as the first two Home Alone movies

The robbers were so dumb they couldn’t see the safe snow on the sidewalk. This act makes Beetlejuice look like a genius.

I didn’t think about how the nerf bullet/tacks could have easily pierced her eyes...

Top 5 Home Alone Heroes: 5. Kevin McCallister (2002) 4. Finn Baxter 3. Max Mercer 2. Alex Pruitt 1. Kevin McCallister (1990)

Luckily pam and Jeff didn't tried their luck with Alex or Kevin. They'd end up dead if they did. Especially with Kevin! Max's traps are nothing to sneeze at though. Some of them were actually quite painful and dangerous. Luckily most of Max's traps weren't likely to be fatal like Alex's or Kevin's traps.

These traps were more brutal compared to Final Destination deaths

This honestly makes me wanna cry the couple did nothing to deserve any of this. In all the other Home Alone movies Especially 1,2 and 4 these were people who deserved it for trying to rob steal kidnap and even hurt a kid. But this couple had no intentions to do any of this all they wanted was to get back an old expensive doll for their kids. They even tried to talk to him but nope he just kept on at it with these abusive traps. No Laughing Moments on this 😥😢😡.

I mean it’s an interesting idea to flip things around and make the robbers/people breaking and entering sympathetic. But the film went too far in that direction so all this is just needlessly cruel to two parents in dire straits. The film should have made them selfish but semi-likable criminals in debt to a mob boss and they’re breaking into the house to steal things to pay off their debt for less altruistic reasons but by the end the mob boss gets involved/caught in the traps too and arrested and the duo learn their lesson and just give up on crime all together

Alternative title if this was the office: Erin accidentally breaks into a house and survives

“Steer into the stair” “Which way is this” “I’m not sure”

would've been a great movie if the "bad guys" were actually bad. (Note: Yes I know this comment has been said like 20 times but it's really important to point out)

2:20 I love that they add this in the movie

Jeff and Pam mistaked this kid for someone else. At the end he finds out that the couple actually has children.

Spoilers: Okay to be fair on the kid's behalf, he thought the mother and father characters were real crooks that were trying to kidnap him the whole time. So, he did technically have every single right to self-defend himself. He didn't know that they were just trying to get the priceless doll from him, which he actually never even took from them in the first place. But I agree, this movie would've been better if they used real villainous crooks instead of this couple in need.

I'm not gonna lie I feel sorry for these guys knowing what they wanted to do to save their family, honestly though I like Pam she's very pretty and very kind too.

All the more reason why 1 (and 2) are so much better

That last one was brutally dangerous

the main problem is there's no villains

Honestly this was way better than 4 and 5.

This is more painful to watch especially since the kid is hearing their pleas to stop and talk over and over while he's still attacking them. I feel so bad for these parents/robbers. I shouldn't be feeling that at all btw

I didn’t know this is what SmurfBlossom does on holidays. 😂😂😂😂😂

I’d say Pam and Marv Both have one thing in common they Lost all their footwear and walked on extremely painful items

Thanks for this video I just thought there was a scarface reference

I can’t really call Pam & Jeff villains...I guess to make this movie very short, Max or anyone in the family could’ve easily talked to either of those 2 to see what’s going on and help them 🤷🏻‍♂️ I haven’t seen the whole movie yet lol

2:08 Never gets old

0:17 0:18 0:19 Scream 0:20 Crash

The LEGO trap is a classic

1:30 I think that would be at least a little deadly worst case, and Ariel, a punctured stomach so 0.75 deaths, 2:00 burnt feet 2:09 no way is he surviving that. 2:34 most likely a broken nose.

Yeah of course reuse the sound track from the first two movies.

I'm gonna be honest. I actually kinda liked the traps in this movie! I just couldn't stop laughing! I mean the LEGO scene was probably the most cruel one of them all! And that's saying a lot since she got her feet burned and got her feet burned!😂

We're all just a little tired from getting all torn apart. - Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw, Baby's Day Out (1994)

3:26 YEETUS WEIGHTUS BOUNCUS

even the fans of home alone 1 and home alone 2 can think of a better script for a new home alone movie. I wonder if we could Email our script to Disney 🤔

I felt bad for Jeff and Pam here Max thought they were there to kidnap and hurt him when it reality they were not. Now replace them with Harry & Marv, or the baddies from 3 then those people deserve it especially they were not redeemable characters where as Jeff & Pam are. At least they redeemed themselves by helping Max in the end and Max made things up to them by saving their doll and their home too.

I thought this was gonna be a bunch of shitty modern day traps but no Max is more sadistic as Kevin and just as psychotic

1:25 As Steve-O would say. 😎

Ok I felt that when she drop her entire knee to the Legos

Kids when your parents tell you to pick up your legos they really mean don't hurt the burglars.

Jeff Looks Like Darren Criss

Wow you don’t see that violence in cartoons anymore

Erin is the bandit?!😂😂😂😂

holy crap a fourth off these are kevin leveled traps the treadmill one is not only kevin level its jason vorhee's leveled feels bad for them since this is the first one where there not crimals but im still brave enough to watch it eventually though

They should make more “Home Alone” movies for the holidays

1:47 (EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)

Buzz is now police officer?!
