It’s fun, everyone needs to calm down. Of course it’s not the same nostalgic magic like the first film, but this one has Tim Curry so it can’t be all bad!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Home Alone 2 is a return to greatness for with some may say is the future jigsaw even though it never was the intend for John Hughes turn Kevin McCallister into a serial killer it's hard not to think that now especially when there's a electrocution scene in the movie some people might have problems with Donald Trump then millionaire and actor being in the movie because of his presidency but that's something enough distance from his presidency will fix… Expand

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 can8 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 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

The first Home Alone is very good indeed. The last two are just wannabes and feel like they don't belong. Home Alone 2 is my personal favourite, and I watch it about once a month.

Home Alone 2 is my personal favourite, and I watch it about once a month. The only problem is that the jokes are basically retreads of the first movie, but believe me, they're miles better than the ones in the fourth ( which is one of the worst movies ever) This is still a very solid film, that gets slow in the second half. The performances are excellent. Macaulay Culkin brought a lot of charm to almost all the movies he's been in. Just a shame, he isn't acting any more. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are hilarious, as always. Catherine O'Hara and John heard are amiable as the parents, while the wonderful Tim Curry gives a hilarious performance as the Concierge. My favourite scenes were the bathroom scene in the hotel, and when the staff are held hostage by a television. Just priceless. Eddie Bracken and Brenda Fricker also make appearances, and their scenes are touching, as they are of friendship and acceptance. I absolutely adored the soundtrack too, New York looks splendid and the Plaza Hotel was incredible to look at. Brilliant movie! 9/10. Bethany Cox… Expand

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.

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

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

The story is blatant, but the blatant story is saved, in my opinion, by the action and the new elements.
As bad as 3 was, Macaulay Culkin will prove to be very important to Home Alone. His sly Kevin character is delightful and funny. He may be a little less funny in 2, but that is saved by the hilarious characterizations around him.
Also, while closer to comedy than action, the thief being taken advantage of by the kid is overtly funny, and while it's not fresh since we saw a smattering of it last time, I still felt the idea still somewhat worked. We think one factor is that, unlike last time, the majority of the film is not invaded by this comedy.
The new additions to the story are also pleasing to us. I will tell those who criticize us for repainting the previous film by increasing the scale of violence and location, but it is not only the violence that has increased. I don't know if this will satisfy you, but there is some humor in Kevin relaxing gracefully in the hotel. Also, the increased characterization makes it more interesting. (Last time it was just him, his family, and the thief; this time it's Mr. Duncan and the woman the pigeons flock to.)
Minor changes are made: more violence and characters, moving the location to New York City, and changing the taste of the story. And the key humor is recycled! - This is a clear attempt to deceive the audience. We know this. But we still like Home Alone, its characters, and its humor, so we are fooled even though we know it.… Expand
