Almost a Carbon Copy of the First

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2000)

"Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" is somewhat funny and heart-warming, but it is almost exactly like the first film. This time Culkin boards a plane for New York instead of Miami and he ends up alone in the city with crooks Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The lack of creativity keeps "Home Alone 2" from being as good as it probably could have been. By-the-numbers film-making. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
