Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

So much average

Powerful

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film premiered on Friday, November 20, 1992 in the United States, again directing Chris Columbus.Synopsis:The McCallisters prepare to go on vacation to Florida. The day before Kevin has to sing Christmas carols with his school. The whole family attends and an accident occurs...Kevin must apologize to his family, but he does not believe that it was his fault and does not ask for forgiveness. He is punished to sleep in the attic and, when the vans arrive to take them to the airport (this time the McCallister goes to Miami instead of Paris), they have fallen asleep again. They begin the rush and everyone goes to the airport. This is where Kevin gets distracted from his parents and takes a plane to New York. New York also comes the "Wet Criminals", who have escaped from prison and want to hit a toy store. But they have not counted on Kevin ...Review:Even better than its predecessor! For me, it surpasses much to the first part for entertainment and this thanks to the new adventure of Kevin, now it gets stuck in the city that never sleeps and the wet bandits escaped from prison after 9 months of confinement. Things get even more complicated, since Kevin now has a credit card and a lot of money leading him to be discovered for theft. Very good family movie that, yes, is scarce in argument because in this sequel we see the same as before, but I still love it and prefer it instead of the original. Now it has new fun characters like the manager of the Plaza Hotel and the bellhop played by a nice Rob Schneider. The characters of the bandits are again super fun and even more in the classic traps of the end. They are also classic movies that Kevin sees at the hotel and plays with workers, brilliant. Again, Kevin will have a friend who will protect him in this cold environment, in this case he will be a woman who roams the Central Park and who owns many birds as he feeds them. The final message is the same family member of course, leaving us with a great movie that after its predecessor we yearn for more. "Guess who is alone in New York this Christmas. He gets up in his bedtime in the city that never sleeps. "- Home Alone.

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.

Unlike the original "Home Alone", the situation has developed, spending longer times on the slapstick comedy of the Wet Bandits, depriving the film of its original comfort; the location. Relocating the setting to New York is an act of deprivation of the cosiness of the original. Once more, Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) is cute yet a smart-aleck kid with an attitude that could challenge even the crudest of adults. He once more gets into mischief, somehow getting separated yet again from his family. Not only that, but "Home Alone 2" has basically the same first 10 minutes as the original, which is frustrating to re-watch. Eventually, we learn of the escape of the Wet Bandits, which has excruciatingly painful scenes for any person, let alone child. The acting is fine, with the best scenes of the film including Tim Curry as a hotel concierge, which, by the way, do not involve the bandits.With this sequel, the film has resorted to cheesy lines, exaggerated violence and repetition, as most film franchises eventually succumb to.

Well the Christmas season will be upon us soon! To help celebrate my all time favorite time of year, I have certain holiday movies. Home Alone 2: lost in New York is one of my favorites. This sequel to the 1990 hit is better than the original in many ways if you ask me. Culkin is no different here, he's just fine, like in the original. What is better/different here is the quality of comedy and the entertainment value. The first home alone certainly isn't bad, but I do feel like this one exceeds the original as far as entertainment goes. Joe Pesci and his assistant Marv (the sticky bandits) are even better/funnier here than the first time around. The action is better here, and in my opinion, the acting is better. I really loved Catherine O'Hara here too, thought she was hilarious in her role, and the dialogue her character is given really helps boost her funny, touching performance. "The way I'm feeling no mugger/murderer would dare mess with me". Lol bravo. John heard is fine here, his acting/character really doesn't have to be good in any way, his character is okay just kinda being there. The subplot with Kevin and the homeless woman who saves him is very sweet and touching, I really do love that they included that in the film's plot, really added a lot to it. Tim Curry is also to be applauded too for his funny performance as the Ritz hotel manager. 8/10.
