The original was almost ignorable, the sequel, is ignorable.

Rating: 5/10 (5 December 2009)

The original Home alone film wouldn't have had my interest if it wasn't for Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci. Now the two stars, along with Macaulay Culckin star in the sequel,Home alone 2: Lost in New York. Even with the stars of the original returning, they can't even make it work. Home alone 2 is a sequel that is ignorable for many reasons. I'll start naming them off.
One of the flaws with the sequel is that there isn't much of a difference between the two films. They repeat a lot of the same things. There is a person that Kevin(Culkin) is afraid of and them he gets to know the person and realizes that she is actually a nice lady and in the end she helps him out. That happened in the original. Kevin sets up traps against the two crooks. That happened also. Another problem, like with the first one, is that the film is way too cheesy. I hate corny movies. I hate corny everything. As I said in my review for the original, Director Chris Cloumbus is the king of corny. He still holds onto that title.
So what's the sequel about? Well, as the Maccalister family sets off to Florida, they try ever so hard not to forget Kevin(Played by Macaulay Culkin). In this one they don't forget him. The retard goes the wrong way and realizes once he lands in New York"I'm in New York". So Kevin is alone. In New York. Luckily, He is never raped or molested or mugged. But he does get in trouble with the hotel concierges(Played by Tim Curry, Rob Schneider, and Dana Ivey). And Kevin ironically runs into The Wet Bandits(Played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), who have recently escaped.
Home alone 2:Lost in New York has a few hilarious moments in it. Mostly thanks to Tim Curry, and watching these crooks suffer is kind of fun. But Home alone 2 is just a repeat of the original. It's also clichÃ©d. And corny. The original is mostly special thanks to Pesci and Stern. The sequel is funny at times, but I still thinks it's a thumbs down.
