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.

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a kid who would not take it anymore. A kid who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a kid who stood up.

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

Still like all the sentimental stuff about Christmas....Highly unlikely plot and more of the bumbling burglars But somehow it works and personally I think the gags and stunts are even funnier the second time around

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.

You sit there for about 90 minutes just waiting to see Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern get the shit kicked out of them...and then you question why you just did that.

I can't imagine this movie being any worse than it already is. It's like the Platonic ideal of Awfulness. I mean, it even stars Rob Schneider. Avoid unless you want chronic post-traumatic headaches.

I watched this the other day with a hangover, and between the incredible stream of plot contrivances, the sugary sweet sentiment, and all the scenes of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern getting hit in the head with bricks, paint buckets, tools, and so forth, it only made my hangover that much worse.

It's literally Home Alone but in a new setting. Nothing is changed by any stretch at all. So if the kids enjoyed the first one, they'd probably enjoy this one.

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.

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.

The same movie as the first one only more bloated (why is this film 2 hours?). I realize the film is trying to show cartoonish violence, but goddamn, bricks to the face? I know I am getting old because I was wincing more than I laughed at Kevin's antics.

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.

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!

Ugh, damn sequels. The fact there is a complete change of location and setting, but I still cannot differentiate which version a lot of these scenes come from, trumpets its lack of originality. Also, it makes me want to punch children, which, you know, is not good.

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.

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.

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.

It is interesting, generally, when you try to do exactly the same movie as a sequel, it flops big time. But this one is somehow a tidier, better laid-out, more streamlined version of the first one and for me more enjoyable because of that. On the other hand, no originality due to the same reason.

It is very hard to follow up a movie as good as Home Alone. As a stand alone film, this movie would have been just fine, but it disappoints as a sequel. To be honest, I was more impressed to see F.A.O. schwartz used as a set again (see Big).

Like Wayne's World 2, Home Alone 2 lifts a lot of the jokes and plot points from its predecessor, but is somehow far more entertaining. Some of the laughs still carry over from my childhood, and John Williams's theme "Setting the Trap" that occurs during the traps montage is excellent.
