      I watched his criticism video on Space Jam and of course I disagreed. I’m aware that the movie was made from Nike commercials with Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny but it was actually perfect entertainment for kids in 1996. And I loved it as a kid then… I know it hasn’t aged all that well. But it was still a classic and way better than the pointless sequel with LeBron James in 2021

    0:17. Family friendly”? I don’t think “Home Alone” is really that family friendly. Pretty violent when a little kid nail guns a man and does other sadistic stuff to two men.

    I liked it a lot as a kid... I mean not as much as Home Alone or TMNT, but it was a nice alternative to those whenever I wanted to pop in a different VHS.
    The only thing I could never stand is how cheaply they had them both be ninjas AND have them fight criminals: their grandfather is a ninja master *AND* their father is an FBI agent. I mean only one of either would already be unprobable, but having them both together made me lose all the identification with the kids.
