Christmas Drinking Game: Drink every time I say "he's cute!" or some variation lol
CHRISTMAS Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5dr_-y1rBcRf8JdB98JlfbdR.html
My main question Is what instrument did you play back in the day? Us with crushes need to know.
drinking? Watching you react is more than enough intoxication 😍🤩
Where's your home alone 1 reaction video?😢
If I have been unkind, i apologize. Youndo . music. I'm pitch perfect. So I feel bad when I l critisize. Apologize apologies. My wife says it to me all the time... I'm a strange person. . . Im free I'm 56 free I chose ro farm Ive have had 7 careers speak a few languages cause opera. My miestri said how can you sung when you don't know what your singing. . . A good point. So I learned a bit of French German and itallian. A bit of Spanish and Russian and japaniese as well. Not great at it I don't know complex words. Nut i could listen learn and function. And get better. ❤ I'm a different person. I can be scary if you want a scholar if you'd like cause o love poetry and history and music. And I can ne a person of several faiths because I listened and I don't have a hate filled heart I'm just open minded
You trying to get us drunk Jen 😀😉🥂
Marv getting electrocuted and turning into a skeleton never gets old, still one of the funniest scenes ever and If I ever get two turtledoves I would give one to you Jen.
I cried laughing in the theater and actually peed my pants a little! Hilarious!! And embarrassing since I was active duty military and I was there with my squad lol
An absurd skeleton gag is tough to pull off even once, but John Hughes uses the same gag in Trains Planes And Automobiles and it lands fantastically there too.
Yes! I said in my outro that not every movie can pull off that level of wackiness but this one does brilliantly!!
The brick scene gets me everytime, especially that last one hitting him.😂
@@thoughtfulstargazer that last one is great because Marv tries to talk but is clearly effed up and can't and still get blasted by it lol.
The scene where the pigeon lady threw the birdseed on Marv and Harry was already funny. It's even funnier knowing that a couple of years prior to this movie, the actress who played the pigeon lady, Brenda Fricker, was the one who presented Joe Pesci with his Oscar that he won for his performance in "Goodfellas". I think it's safe to say he enjoyed receiving the Oscar from her just a little better than he did with the birdseed.😁
That’s awesome 🤩
34:21 This is amazing acting on Catherine O'Hara's part. You can just hear the pain and anguish in her voice...then a sense of relief when she realizes she knows where Kevin is.
This movie is filled with some of the best screams in movie history!
The "What a hole!" line gets a similar reaction out of me whenever I rewatch this movie, Daniel Stern's delivery is perfect. That was well put too at the end, there are not many movies that can get away with a man being electrocuted into a skeleton. Excellent reaction as always Jen!
Thanks! This one was fun :)
First thing I say everytime I go down.
I can't remember the exact situation, but my then-teen son responded to hearing about someone being a big jerk with that line. I died laughing!
I remember watching a video that had surgeons assessing the physical damage and fatalities that the traps would have inflicted on Harry and Marv in both of the movies. According to the video, each of them would have died twice from the traps in Home Alone 1, while Harry would have died 6 times and Marv would have died 11 times from the traps in Home Alone 2!
There's also the Christmas episode of Letterkenny. Where the coach said he uses Home Alone to show the tenacity and drive the thieves have. It's a motivational film. LOL
I read another which said Kevin himself probably wouldn’t have survived bringing the shelves down in the first film, there was a bowling ball up there 😳
Several years ago I used to sing in a local choral society. I had been asking the director if we could sing "Somewhere in My Memory" from the first Home Alone movie. I finally had to quit because I just didn't have the strength anymore, but the last season I was in it the director had finally found an arrangement of it and we did it. It was a wonderful send off for me. I hope you have a Merry Christmas Miss Jen!🎄
I've never ran across someone who has a great appreciation of Musical scores like you Jen, rather It's a movie or a series! You show such great enjoyment on all fronts.
I've always loved music growing up. I'd LOVE to go to Carnegie Hall
I got a talkboy for Christmas back in the 90s when I was a kid. It was the coolest thing ever. My friend and I played with that thing for hours. Good times.
Tim Curry is the best in this, like in most movies. He would have been such a good Grinch
Tim is the main villain in the Disney Three Musketeers movie. He is awesome as Cardinal Richelieu, Kiefer Sutherland as Athos, Charlie Sheen as Armias, Oliver Platt as my favorite Musketeer Porthos, and Chris O’Donnell as the new Musketeer D’Artignan. I love the movie. The BBC Three Musketeers series is very good. It has Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu which is great casting. I liked the series very much.
Agree
Poor Marv! By the last brick I am always crying laughing. Then the skeleton and birds. Marv is GREAT! The 1st two movies are classics. Great reaction!
A little fact about John Williams. Music runs in his family as his son Joseph also got into the music business as a lead singer in the rock band Toto. You can hear his vocals in songs like Pamela, Stop Loving You, Til The End and Straight for the Heart.
Yes Catherine O'Hara was in Beetlejuice.
John Williams’ son is Bobby Kimball?
The brick throwing scene is like a kid with cancer. It never gets old
Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker, the return of Harry n Marv, Kevin humiliating them *again*, and Jen's festive sweater: fun stuff!
Edit: Jen conducting the orchestra is priceless.
I've seen this well over 100 times and Marv getting electrocuted still gets me every time lol.
Me too
*Me 3.*
Macaulay Culkin recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Katherine O'Hara (his mom in the movie) was with him for it
Kevin McCalister: The original movie reactor LOL
Kevin McCalister, grew up to be Sawm(real theory)
I love this movie. It takes pretty much everything from the first movie and takes it up a notch. I was pretty much the same age as Kevin back when it came out, so I loved it extra much to see a kid be so smart around adults.
Same
I do love how cartoonishly cruel this movie is to Harry & Marv
Its slapstick. How I'd imagine a live action looney tunes staring only humans
I remember having one of those talkboy's as a kid. Battery life wasn't great and I was never as resourceful as Kevin was with his. Love that they still kept the Christmas feel with this movie, great reaction as always Jen!
Fun Fact: The Talkboy was created as a prop for this film, then made and distributed by Tiger Electronics at the request of John Hughes and the allowance of 20th Century Fox.
I had one too! Still do somewhere haha
i remember, my Sony Walkman had the same feature as the Talkboy. like adjusting the playback and recording speed. it had a built in microphone, but you could also plus in an external one.
I still have mine.
I'm 42 now and I still have my Talkboy Deluxe recorder like he used in the movie. 😂 It was such a cool thing they ended up having to sell them. And it did all the cool stuff likemin the movie. Sped up, slowed down, had the extendable mic and carry handle. That was a cool Christmas present.
I'd like to think that someday in the far future, Kevin would use that turtledove ornament to tell his kids about the Pigeon Lady and the importance of good deeds and remembering people.
Remember that John Hughes used the same skeleton gag in Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) on John Candy. 🤣
Hughes wrote that, Home Alone, and Home Alone 2.
That lady from the front desk, also played in the Adams family movie, as the woman that ended up with cousin it.
11:39-11:43
You quoted the 1st movie where he give Snakes to the count of 10 but after you quoted it, the video cuts to Kevin saying "make it 3". In the sequel, Johnny gives that woman to the count of 3 instead. Perfect editing.
That $967 on room service in 1992 is just under $2100 today. Hits a lot harder now that I have to pay bills.
In case You never knew, here are a few Fun-Facts about "Home Alone 2."✌
(1) Kevin's younger cousin ("Fuller") was played by Macaulay's real-life little brother, Kieran Culkan.
(2) Kevin's "Talkboy Tape-Recorder" was Mass-Marketed and Sold IRL to help Promote this Movie.
(3) Mister Duncan (@15:30) was played by Eddie Bracken, and You've previously seen Him as the Owner of Walley World in "National Lampoon's Vacation!"
Thanks for the facts Tom! :)
Considering how big of a star Kieran Culkin's become in recent years with Scott Pilgrim and Succession, it always blows my mind to think how he started off his acting career in these films as Kevin's bed-wetting cousin
@@christianwise637 He also worked with Van Damme in "Nowhere to Run" ('93)!👌
@@jenmurrayxo You're Welcome, Jen!👍
Eddie also played in Baby's Day out as the elderly man in the home baby Bink visited where his mom and dad found him. .
If Kevin's parents were smart, for next Christmas they would either A) not go anywhere and stay home with him. Or B) handcuff him to one of the adults so he doesn't get separated.
Even better time management and alarm system would be better. Both times was a result of them rushing
@@katonnor Right. Though you can't really blame them in the first movie because the storm took out the power and the dumb neighbor kid was there and screwed up the head count. But this time it was mostly his father's fault for unplugging the alarm clock like an idiot and at the airport for not keeping Kevin in his sights and letting him fall behind and get lost
@@evolutionizer15exactly
This creator is good at movie reactions. She is smart, likable, well rounded and doesn't leverage her looks for attention.
Great movie. The actress who plays Kevin Mon was in Beetlejuice. You should also watch Its A Wonderful Life the ultimate Christmas movie. The part were Marv get Electrocuted to be skeleton always cracks me up :)
yea Im sure JEN will have a poll or just automatically include WOnderful Life, I think she may need a tissue or 2 for that great classic
Home Alone - A+
Home Alone 2 - A
My two favorite Christmas movies!
Me too
In the original movie, Catherine O’Hara’s character went from Chicago, to Paris, to Dallas, to…what the heck came next? (Scranton)
How did they manage to find a direct flight from Miami to New York? For 13 people I might add.
The "Talkboy" was VERY popular with kids my age after the release of this one, and coincidentally was also when I started prank calling people😂 Yet another amazing movie from my childhood
The toy store was a real store: it was the famed (and sadly, now defunct) F.A.O. Schwartz, and was so magnificent, it was used in several films.
0:49 I agree John "The Maestro" William is THE best composer/conductor.
Another fab reaction.
Love that you appreciate John Williams' and his music. Did you appreciate his conducting in the concert hall scene? Yep, that was the man himself. Saw him conduct at The Barbican in London many moons ago. It was amazing!
Thanks Jen for another awesome reaction. I used to play O all e faithful on my clarinet . I grew up in a musical family. My mom was a professional opera singer. Hello again from pa USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤❤❤
That's so cool, opera singing seems so difficult!
9:20 "I wonder how injured they are going to get in this one?" LAUGHS MANIACALLY
7:28 much as I love this movie I always get an emotional twinge at this point - that's the Observation Deck of the South Tower of the original World Trade Centre. I know the WTC shows up in other movies from the 90s but it's weird to see it actually used instead of just in the background.
Another great reaction, Jen. I think I needed to see you react to this tonight. Just remembering a few people that aren't here in a physical form. Thanks. Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.
6:37 KEVIN!
"WOW! WHAT A HOLE!"
Critics tried dumping on this, calling it too cartoonish, but I don't care! I like it!
Macaulay was/is a brilliant actor! His performance in The Nutcracker was good but The Good Son was memorable!
Tim Curry doing his Grinch impersonation was iconic!
The last scene where Marv got whacked and a pigeon flew off, I thought for years that he coughed it up!
Kevin setting the traps for the crooks is like a live action Tom and Jerry. Thats why we all love these films. Its just silly and fun while we get in the mood for Christmas.
I always forget how good Daniel Stern, (Marv) is at comedic acting! He stole this movie, and deservedly so. The skeleton part was good, but my favorite is his screams during it. Perfect!
When Marv smiles for the camera, it kills me every time.
😁
Me too
And to think, that was BEFORE he got hit in the head with those four bricks.
@@j.woodbury412
That part where *Kevin throws bricks and hits him in Marv's face cracks me up all the time!!!!*
📷
One of the greatest Christmas movies ever made and one of the best sequels ever made. Growing up in the 90s, I had this one and the first one on VHS and would watch them every year around the holidays. The skeleton gag was and still is my favorite part of the movie, it's way over the top but extremely hilarious! It's awesome Macaulay Culkin is finally on the walk of fame, he deserves it 110% and it was also nice to see Catherine O'Hara there as well to support him!
For future Christmases, this will be a go-to reaction to sit back, enjoy and laugh my a** off. Thanks for the future laughs Jen!
So glad you enjoyed (and will enjoy!) 🎄
Now I feel Christmassy..even though I spend Christmas alone, watching along with you makes me happy. Merry Christmas ❤
I really enjoy your thoughts on the scores of movies, Jen. A great soundtrack can make a good movie an amazing one! 👍💯🎄⛄
Not related to this movie, Hanz Zimmer is the GOAT composer imo.
@@JohnDillinger12Zimmer is one of the all time greats, and I'm hoping Jen reacts to "Conan the Barbarian" as Basil Poledouris score to that movie is amazing, and one of my all time favorites.
And a Jen reaction can make an amazing movie a spectacular one 🙂
I remember when I was 5 yrs. old, I'm 76 now, our whole family went out to Hollywood Park (S. Ca. horse track). There were my parents, my sister, & our grandparents. From the parking lot there was a large concrete area leading to the entrances to the track. I was walking along holding my Mother's hand. I remember letting go to do something & reaching back up to grab my Mother's hand again. She stopped suddenly & I looked up. It wasn't my Mother! I don't remember who spotted who first, me or my Mother. I do remember not letting go again.
Joe: Okay, kid. Give it to me.
Macaulay: You asked for it. 26:49-26:59-27:06-27:16
The fan theory is definitely true, Kevin McCallister 100% grew up and became Jigsaw
Mr Duncan Played by the late actor Eddie Bracken was also Mr Roy Wally, owner of Wally World in National Lampoons vacation.
6:45 Enter the lovely and talented Ally Sheedy...famous for "The Breakfast Club", "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Short Circuit". :)
I wonder why they haven't made a new movie with Macauley, only with him as the parent. Makes all the sense in the world to me. The big challenge would be getting a kid who can live up to Macauley. Few child actors have that kind of charisma and comedic timing.
One of the new movies established that Kevin grew up to own a home security company. And Buzz is a cop
That would have been a better movie that Home Alone 3 or Home Alone 4.
@@j.woodbury412The third movie could’ve at least been Harry and/or Marv dealing with a different kid, just so there’d be some continuity.
@@RandomNonsense1985 True. Maybe it could have been Fuller. Or maybe Kevin's son.
I wanted to see a Home Alone movie where Kevin falls in love with Marley’s granddaughter. It seems like they were setting it up to eventually happen. There was some fan fiction about it. The latest trailer for a Home Alone movie has Culkin finally returning to the franchise as a adult going against the Wet Bandits again, Buzz is a cop, Kevin is telling his mother what happened when he was left alone the first time, and looks like he has some help from someone against the bandits. I am happy McCauley will finally return to the franchise. That is what all the Home Alone movies that came after this movie lacked. They were just trying to recreate the magic of the first movie with a different child each time. They failed every time because it wasn’t Kevin. So I am hoping this new movie, with will be better even if the Marley Granddaughter isn’t in the movie. I will wait and see what happens.
"Merry Christmas ya filthy animal "😀🎄so many amusing lines this movie and some moment you can almost feel their pain like the bricks to the face for example lol .brilliant reaction as always Jen boy did you make me laugh 🎉 merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Ian! 🎄
Always a fun time watching this movie but especially with you. You had me laughing at the movie all over again! 😂 Kevin is the kid you love even though he tends to get into trouble! Now Marv is just too funny and i never get tired of his antics!! Always confessing to the cops but he does come up with great names for their gang. Sticky bandits hahaha 😂😂. Great reaction Jen ❤️💛 Luv the shirt! Cant wait to catch you on star trek saturday!🖖
Thanks! See you then 🖖
08:47 Piers Morgan cameo 😂😂😂
Jen one more thing - it's one thing to watch this at home, which is totally awesome....but to see this in the theater with an audience, where everyone is SCREAMING because they're LAUGHING so hard at each of Kevin's assaults on Harry and Marv = priceless.
I love both this and the first equally, the first one is funnier, but this one has more heart, I think, Jen. I was waiting for your reaction to it. 🙂
Me too
"Here's a turtle dove, I've gotta go back to my suite at the Plaza now, enjoy the park!"
Your love/observation of the music in your movie reactions is the best! Seriously… Thank you! 😀❤
Great choice and reaction to one of my favorite Christmas movies Jen. I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone before the new year comes. THANK YOU for a wonderful year of excellent and entertaining reactions. The selections from polls and Patreon have been outstanding! Especially the selections during this holiday season! My anticipation for the next year is through the roof! I wish only the best for you and yours 😊 thank you again Jen for all you do, I truly hope deep down that you know what it is that you do for us. Friend and Fan...Eric
Thank you Eric! I always appreciate your kind comments and support. I agree my Patrons have been awesome at choosing great movies and I'm really excited for all the great movies in 2024! Happy Holidays :)
Actually, this is the cut version that was released last year, where Disney Plus removed the Donald Trump cameo from the final cut.
I was looking for him,Another BS move by Disney!
Oh, wow, really?! Ridiculous! That’s why you get physical copies.
Best move Disney can make. @@Indiana_Jones-Z
Another reason to boycott Disney. They can't even a clasic to stand on its own without ruining it. This is the age that Disney was just sneeking in evil messages like male parts for towers under the sea in little mermaid or hidden in clouds. If they got the rights to 1st bedtime for bonzo they would cut Reagan out or the same when he played 1st gentleman to a woman President. The DNC is going to make sure the first Elected Woman President will still have a First Lady instead of a husband.
You don't think maybe she just cut that part? She's Canadian and, like most people, doesn't worship him. Also, Disney didn't cut that part. You guys are weird for making that up. Even if they did, it's a 2 second cameo, who cares?. Weirdo dorks.
To me, this is a more sadistic home alone 1. But love tim curry! Catherine O'Hara was indeed in Beetlejuice. She played the stepmother. She was also the voice of Sally in my favorite movie of all time Nightmare Before Christmas. Also Macauley Culkin is doing well now, he got a star on Hollywood walk of fame, and he's married to Brenda Song, formerly London fron Suite Life of Zach and Cody and Suite Life on Deck. They have two sons.
Fun fact-Culkin and the other actors from the first film didn't want to do this sequel,at all.But,the film studio REALLY wanted a sequel ( very badly )LOL. So,we got Home Alone 2,after no-2 Culkin didn't want to do any more HA films.I believe there're 3 more HA movies after this one. Starring other child actors.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e4 more movies, actually.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies! Also when I watch this film it makes me want to watch Aladdin (1992) because the second Home Alone film and Aladdin were released in the same year and month, but they were released a few days from each other.
A classic! Thank you Jen!
My all-time favorite Christmas movie! Thank you for reacting to this beloved holiday classic, Jen!
27:16 me too
Holy shit when Marv gets electrocuted, it kills me every time, when they show the skeleton 😂😂😂 and when he gets hit with the bricks 😂
Home alone 2 is a great movie. Kevin is a resourceful kid who gets the best of two adults. It is hysterical watching Marv get electrocuted! My Grandkids love this movie and we watch it every Christmas. Merry Christmas Jen!
For the record, $967 in 1992 would equal about $2116.31 today.
For me Home Alone 1-2 and Die Hard 1-2 are perfect back to back Christmas movies!!! The sequels are not better than the original, but it entertaining enough to enjoy them.
And the connection to both the first two Die Hard and Home Alone movies is that Kevin is a relative to Holly.
@@Renegade2786for real?
The scene where Harry burns on the top of his head, he actually got burned for real. So the face, where he looking forward - towards the camera; that is real pain! :)
I see you’ve reacted to Home Alone 2. Home Alone is always one of my favorite Christmas movies growing up. It never ceases to crack me up.
5:30 I always nerd out over language translations! So cool! 👏
Great reaction Jen, Merry Christmas 🎅
You mentioned the John Williams score. I got the soundtrack CD for this the Christmas it came out as a kid and at that time soundtracks were still just licensed songs to me. This was the first movie score that got me to appreciate how important and fantastic movie scores can be.
Also fun fact the singer that sings “All Alone for Christmas” in the NYC montage plays Danny Glover’s wife in the Lethal Weapon movies!
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤. Home Alone 2 is awesome
Thanks John you too! Loved this one :)
15:44 Mr. Duncan is donating to Maya Kowalski 😂
I'm a bit of a Grinch when it comes to Christmas, and would never watch this movie on my own, but that doesn't stop this from being a very fun reaction, Jen!
Marv is such a fun character. Daniel Stern is great. I especially enjoyed him in a movie called Born in East LA. Such an under rated movie.
Macauley Culkin got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week.
The electrocution scene scared me so much as a kid my mom could feel my heart beating through my chest but I always insisted on watching the movie for some reason. I loved the movie then (except for Marv getting zapped lol) and still love it today.
2:05, Jen looked like part of the choir for a second.
Macauley Culkin said he enjoyed this one more than the original, but it’s basically a repeat of the original with a different setting. Catherine O’Hara, the mom, was an SCTV alumni in the 80s, along with John Candy.
That makes sense
Ive been seeing this movie done by a number of reactors lately, of course since its that time of year. And my question lately has been this. Can the hotel charge them for Kevin's room service bill? They checked him into the hotel with what they discovered was a "stolen credit card" and accused him of stealing the card and chasing him out onto the streets. So they can't charge for his room or the charges he racked up because it was charged to a "stolen" credit card. Once the rest of the family got there, the room was given to them free of charge as an apology for their masive screw up with Kevin and how they handled it. So even if they wanted to charge him they cannot because he is a minor and they can't later charge the family because the room was comped.
I've had a credit card for 20 years but i still say ,"wow, it worked" everytime I pay for something.
John Williams composed music for "Daddy-O". Kevin McCallister has a cousin with curly hair. The girl from Beakman's World.
That would be Tracy McCallister, played by Senta Moses. I had a huge crush on her when I was a kid.
You guys give up? Have you had enough pain?
NEVVAAAAAAAAHH!!
Hi, Jen! Sorry, late to the party. I must have taken the wrong plane. KEVIN! The skeleton gag is great, but it's even better with your joyous laugh sprinkled on top. I love Catherine O'Hara, I used to laugh myself silly to her on SCTV. I hope that show is taught in Canadian schools. ;-) Merry Christmas and see ya Saturday for Next Jen! Oh, yeah, Office Space, too!
Mr. Duncan (actor Eddie Bracken) is also Roy Walley from National Lampoon's Vacation.
So tough which Home Alone is better, I like 2 more in some ways but the original has a lot of great things to!
First-time viewer here, and as a Bb and Bass clarinetist, I just LOVE being heard 😂❤
Awesome, go woodwinds!!
29:18 one of the best scenes in this movie🤣
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this moment is brilliant!
Fun review as always! It's amazing how the filmmakers struck lightning twice. Still a classic!
It's weird knowing that the guy who did the voice-over for the Plaza Hotel ad is the same one who used to host "The Newlywed Game" for many years.
Is it wrong that I LOVE your channel...not because of the reactions you do, but because of the person you are. Of course you are beautiful, and I HATE myself for not being a better writer. Thank you for your channel and Merry Christmas.
I'm so glad you enjoy my channel :) Merry Christmas!
Even without kevin foiling there plans marv is such a loundmouth 😂
Tim Curry was the highlight for me😃
