Cut me a break. They lost the kid again? And the Wet Bandits just so happen to wind up in the same city? Even as a 10 year old, this was ridiculous.

The Rob Schneider Project- day 17. Our employer requested a combined experiment with our colleagues from the Macaulay Culkin Project; a gaunt-looking group that cackled madly every time that wretched child tried to murder someone. Is this what we will regress into as our Project nears its zenith? Luckily Rob was quite muted and even tolerable in this. No one felt happy about it though. We all sense the true horrors still to come. The Project must continue. Schneider-annoyance factor: 1

Not too bad. Copycat sequels aren't necessarily a bad thing, but reshooting some exact shots and basic scenes from the first film got tedious at times. I also wish the wet bandits were actually in more of the movie. The entire bird lady plot didn't work for me either. Still, this was almost consistently funny and Culkin is as wonderful as ever. This doesn't take away from the movie, but I like how ironic the title is. Kevin is never once home OR alone OR lost in New York.

I've never seen a sequel so blatantly and blandly recycle the plot movement and motifs of the original. Some of it is given new life by the different setting (who wasn't living vicariously through Kevin when he's gorging on room service?) but most of it's not. A couple funny new characters (Curry and Schneider's hotel staff) are cancelled out by the now comedically flat Marv and Harry. Meanwhile, Kevin's new batch of booby-traps cross the line from humorously harsh to just plain disturbing.

Schneider quest, film 17: It didn't hurt to speed up this movie to 20% faster. Schneider is very ok in this, and not even that horrible. The rest of the movie was awful, and I was truly shocked on the severe violence it has. I felt like I was watching Saw, but with a child as the main villain.

One of the most blatant cash-ins ever. It's almost identical to the first one, only now it takes place at the Plaza Hotel; a luxurious New York landmark that is apparently run by total idiots. There's no John Candy analog, but instead they added a benevolent toy store owner, because TOYS! And, of course, they swapped out any emotional resonance for even more sadistic traps. Seriously, they're dead Kevin. You killed them. It's over.

A very satisfying sequel. The violence is even more brutal, outlandish and thus hilarious than the first instalment, and once again Columbus (working with the same superb cast it must be said) manages to capture the 'magic' of Christmas. Although, the 'life lessons' feel a bit more forced here than in the original film. Watching this in 2021, two things in particular stand out; the intact World Trade Center and a pre-Presidential Trump.

The worst parents in the world manage to lose Kevin once again. Seriously where the fuck is child services?! I'm pretty sure at this point Marv and Harry have spent more time with Kevin than his parents have. It's all been seen and done before, but there is just something charming about seing a small kid going all Saw on two somewhat harmless guys.

This is one of those rare sequels that actually lives up to the original..mostly because it's essentially the same movie! John Hughes and Chris Columbus decided to go way over the top with this one. So far over the top that they landed on the other side. The film is an homage to the slapstick follies of the 20's/30's, as Marv and Harry do their best Chaplin/Keaton impersonations. The pitfalls in this film would kill any ordinary man, but seeing as it's a movie, the two schmoes keep getting up.

Home Alone 2 isn't bad at all, but it's practically the same movie as the first one. If it weren't just more of the same, or if there wasn't a first one, then this one, due to it's larger scale, might even be better. But, because it feels like a clone, it just... Pretty good!

The funniest part of this movie is the plot convolutions it does to justify the same plot happening all over again despite everybody having thoroughly learned their lesson last time; it's clear everyone involved understood that the "same thing again" mission they'd been given was terrible but wanted to make it as good as they could. Unfortunately, that wasn't very good; there's no themes and no emotional arc, just a bunch of setpieces mimicing The Good Parts of the original.

I like it. I like it quite a bit, actually. Is it ridiculous? Yeah. Is it realistic? No. Does it have Tim Curry and Rob Schneider in the same movie playing buffoons who work in a hotel? Yes. Is that all it really needs? Pretty much. Sure it's silly and predictable, but it hits a lot of the right notes and the performances are all perfectly fine. The bird lady is awesome, and the message behind her character is one worth getting across to younger audiences. A dumb fun Christmas film.

One of the few great live-action cartoons. Even if it's not as tight as its predecessor, it's arguably much more entertaining. The music of John Williams is an integral element, working together with everything to move you, make you laugh and keep you invested, even when some of the editing can be a tad liberal. ~ Rated PG for: Graphic violence; "attempted" murder, broken necks, decapitation, castration, cracked skulls, men burning alive and men eaten alive by birds. ~ Slap a 15 on this sucker.

The sequel to the Christmas classic isn't a classic itself but it still is a fun continuation. The formula gets a bit stale in this movie. Kevin has another mishap that lands him far from his family for Christmas. In true "fuck it" movie-making fashion the Wet Bandits make it to the exact place where Kevin winds up. There are some sweet moments that hold things together and give it a bit of a message. But, in the end, it looses it's classic status by being a cookie-cutter repeat of the original.

Home Alone 2 definitely has some moments worth sticking around for. However the script is cut and paste for the most part. The brutality is a little more cartoony and stardom seems to have gotten to Macaulay Culkin, as he spend way too much time winking at the camera this time around. Thank god for Tim Curry coming in as the saving grace for this forgettable sequel.

Whereas the dialogue and performances of the original Home Alone were able to outweigh the film's juvenile narrative and one-dimensional players, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is chocked full of too many stock characters, eye-rolling dialogue, and contrived plot points to justify its own existence; the inevitable showdown towards the end of this two-hour film, however, works well, in what is an otherwise disappointing sequel.

This gets a bad rap compared to the original and it's easy to see why, as in many ways it's a complete rehash with a new location. I guess the same goes for Die Hard 2 as well; both are well-made and entertaining films but they do not bring anything new to the mix. It's ~10 mins longer which hurts the flow somewhat. The traps are even more sadistic this time. Still, I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this and makes for a nice double feature with the original.

Home Alone 2 is undeniably repetitive of it's predecessor and it certainly lacks originality. At times it literally feels like a scene by scene recreation of the first film. However ultimately it's a family Christmas film and more of the same isn't necessarily a bad thing here. It's great to see a slightly older Macaualy Culkin return as Kevin McCallister. And Harry & Marv remain as funny as first time around. It's by no means as good as the first film, but it's still harmlessly enjoyable.

I may be alone on this opinion, but I think this is the best Home Alone movie. Now bear with me... I think this is better because it's the exact same film as the first but it has much funnier scenes. Tim Curry ducking for cover from a Tommy gun firing was gut-busting hilarious. The traps that Macaulay Culkin devised were a lot more painful (they were also in a much creepier house, a la Saw) and the story was just as heartwarming with the nice pigeon-lady with no friends...

John Hughes and Chris Columbus' cloying, raucously funny Home Alone films are every young boy's provocative wish come true. But Lost in New York significantly surpasses the original because it builds on all the gags and plot devices of the first film, and celebrates Christmas in New York with more warmth, nostalgia and good cheer than Miracle on 34th Street.
