Critic Reviews

Duane Byrge

Writer-producer Hughes and director Chris Columbus have wrapped up the same winning story ornaments from 1990's holiday smash, repackaged them in gleaming array and topped them with a sparkling slapstick climax. While some Scrooge-ish adults may niggle that this sequel is merely a superimposition of the original, kids will be delighted by its keeping all their favorite goodies. Read full review

Hal Hinson

Better would have been excellent. But, let's face it, better is pretty much irrelevant. Mac takes care of that. Mac takes care of everything. The kid's the biggest child actor since Shirley Temple. Read full review

David Sterritt

Although it's slavishly similar to the original Home Alone, which was a colossal hit, this sequel has lots of color and Christmas warmth to recommend it. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The new film does little but repeat the gags and situations of the first movie, with a slight change of venue. [20 Nov 1992, p.A]

Desson Thomson

Filmmakers John Hughes and Chris Columbus go for repetition over comedy. Read full review

Glenn Kenny

Here, the signs of Culkin’s limitations begin to emerge. Read full review

Hollis Chacona

The John Hughes script must have taken him all of thirty minutes to write – simply a matter of a few name and location changes. It wasn't a good script the first time, either. Read full review

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. New Christmas and new adventures. The sequel to the excellent family Christmas comedy. The second part is also filled with great music, a lot of comedy and most importantly some life lessons.

Sequels are always a little below the originals, even if it's still a very good film!

8 out of 10 - Excellent!
Although it's much of the same movie, it's almost equally as enjoyable, in some cases even more than the first although the first is better overall. How does Kevin work in a sprawling environment? Although Kevin can get quite greedy - that doesn't avert my attention8 out of 10 - Excellent!

Although Kevin can get quite greedy - that doesn't avert my attention away from the fact that this one is also a classic. It went downhill from here though, and I have little interest in the next movies… Expand

Pretty much a rehash of the original with the same characters & story, just this time it's in a different city.
