here we are again

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2008)

Well Here we go again...
Well our favorite family is once again on a vacation this time to sunny Florida. They get everything together but seem to lose their son yet again and this time in New York. Again he has to survive alone and must work up the nerve to confront the criminals he so enjoyed humiliating last time.
Well this time we have pretty much the same thing in a much broader environment. The New York setting makes the movie seem a little fresher than just having everything over again but at the same time they decided to beef up on the whole slapstick portion making the movie much more of a slapstick film than the first one. The music and characterization of the other actors is still fairly good and the movie still has a nice warm Christmas film. This one, however, still leaves you feeling like you're watching a warner brothers film and after seeing this one you really don't want to see any more. Thus we end the Home alone experience. At least as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy this hit but be sure to watch it during the holidays, otherwise I'd only watch it if you enjoy the roadrunner cartoons.
