It's not as good as the first Home Alone movie but this is still a very good, fun, family Christmas classic. This time Kevin is in New York City and his family once again leaves him all alone. When the Wet Bandits turn up and want revenge he once again has to fend them off too, while also befriending a nice bird loving lady. Definitely worth seeing!

My wife and I are just back from five days in New York and even though this movie was made 25 years ago, with so many of its landmarks unchanged, it certainly enhanced our enjoyment of the film especially as we'd somehow never seen it before.Watching it on the run-up to Christmas helped too but the fact of the matter is that the movie's highly entertaining and enjoyable anyway. I get that McCauley Culkin's goofy grin, floppy hair, big ears plus of course that scream of his might irritate some but I otherwise found all these plus his smartness and rebelliousness quite acceptable.I enjoyed the way the writer and director, knowing that this is a sequel bound to end up with the same slap-sticky, booby-trapped conclusion as its mega-successful predecessor found a clever and even credible way to separate Kevin again from his family. I loved the New York winter locations while on the acting side, I equally enjoyed the cameo as toy-store owner Mr Duncan by veteran Eddie Bracken, who starred in so many great Preston Sturges films of the 40's. John Williams also delivers a playful soundtrack in keeping with the frivolities depicted on the screen.In these and other ways, director Chris Columbus harks back to those Golden Age Hollywood days, not by coincidence is "It's A Wonderful Life" referenced again in one of his movies, but here too he contributes a lasting seasonal classic which I dare say will likewise be watched and enjoyed by families at Yule time down the years.

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.

Home Alone 2 is a classic sequel that tells the story of a year after Home Alone,10 year old Kevin gets humiliated by his brother at a play causing him to get a bit angry and he wishes that they would disappear once again and when they leave for Florida,Kevin gets lost in the airport and boards the wrong plane and ends up in New York but little does he know New York isn't Kevin's dream place for having a vacation when he is chased by a bunch of hotel workers but worst,the sticky bandits escape from prison and are now walking the streets of New York and when they bump into Kevin,Kevin sets up a bunch of booby traps in a old abandoned house and once again..madness returns. This movie was so good,it was just as good as the first film. Macaulay Culkin returns as lovable Kevin,the idea was so good and original it that was some other director it would just be the exact same thing as the first film but probably 'Different Robbers' which would turn out horribly with a different kid(don't worry that happens in Home Alone 4 and I won't be happy doing that review). Home alone 2 is a classic sequel,if you loved the first film..you will absolutely love this more!!
