Pjtaylor-96-138044 Essentially a beat-for-beat repeat of the first with only the 'home' swapped for a city, 'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)' suffers from a 'do-it-again-but-bigger' mentality and a slightly sillier approach but is still an endearing, funny and heart-felt flick perfect for all the family on any occasion. It's surprisingly entertaining despite its repetitive nature and features some extremely memorable set-pieces, some even sitting on par with those in the original. It isn't so much a drop in quality from its predecessor as it is an unnecessary addition, never quite as good but never much worse either. Oh, and those robbers are definitely dead now, even if they survived their last crossing with this kid. 7/10

Christmas-Reviewer I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY Christmas MOVIES AS I CAN. After the Original "Home Alone" became the 3rd highest grossing film of all time it was just a given that there would be a sequel and 2 years after the release of "Home Alone" 2oth Century Fox Released "Home Alone 2" and it was also known as "Home Alone 2: Christmas in the Park"After snarky youth Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) loses track of his father at the airport, he mistakenly gets on a plane headed for New York City -- while the rest of the McCallisters fly to Florida. Now alone in the Big Apple, Kevin cons his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel and begins his usual antics. But when Kevin discovers that the Sticky Bandits (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) are on the loose, he struggles to stop them from robbing an elderly man's toy store just before Christmas.None of the charm that made the original so much fun is even present here. This is a sub-par sequel that had no heart and no soul. It was a money grab. Overtime the film has fallen out of public's eye. You will see the original again & again but this sequel is not worth a repeat viewing.

snelling Yes, it's a carbon copy of the original. But some people watch the original over and over again anyway. So they might as well make another adventure in the exact same vein. So every beat they hit is the exact same. Vacation time at Christmas. Kevin is left by himself. He is scared, sure, but soon accepts his fate and enjoys everything to the fullest. The two crooks threaten the kid, but then he proves how stupid the bad guys are by setting intricate traps for them, and they fall into each one. Harry and Marvin go to jail. Mom reunites with her son. The old weirdo that befriended Kevin earlier smiles at the end.Boom boom boom. Every box checked. I don't really care for either movie but I see them all the time on TV and it's hard to resist such brain candy. Damn thing still chokes me up but I don't understand why. Sappy music. Christmas themes. Culkin's acting. It should add up to nothing. Bah, humbug. Merry Christmas. All that malarkey.

areatw 'Home Alone 2' is probably my favourite of the Home Alone films. The first two are way ahead of the rest, but this one edges the first for me. It's virtually the same plot set in a different location, only this one has more laughs and more silliness.Macaulay Culkin and Home Alone are synonymous with one another, making further Home Alone films after this with a different kid was never going to work and was a big mistake. They should have left it at two and gone out on a high, because this was a great sequel.One of my favourite comedy movies of all time. The scene in the hotel room with the TV is comedy gold, they don't get much funnier than that. There aren't many films I'd rather watch instead of this, especially over Christmas.
