CONTAINS SPOILERS!! I first saw this movie when I was 8 years old and I thought it was great and as funny as the first one. Just the other day, a group of my friends and I, sat down and watched it and I must say that having grown up, I can see that this movie was not so great as the first one. Ok, first off... 1.Kevin boards the wrong plane and is off to NYC while his family is off to Florida.(Here we go again!) 2.Kevin just so happens to take his Dad's bag which is full of cash and a credit card before he gets on the plane. 3.The hotel employees just so happen to let Kevin check in a famous hotel alone. Kevin also views the same black and white "tommy gun" video and uses it on the hotel security when they try to catch him. 4.Kevin manages to think up a plan and blow up an 8ft inflatable clown(in a matter of seconds) and disguise it as his Dad so the hotel employee(Tim Curry) can think he's with his Dad. 5.Harry and Marv break out of prison and just so happen to be headed toward NYC also where they "coincidently" bump into Kevin when he's in the same toy store the robbers are going to rob. 6.Kevin's aunt and uncle,who live in NYC, aren't home for the holidays and Kevin manages to get in their home and set the booby traps for Harry and Marv. 7.Kevin always seems to make friends with adults. Like the shovel man and the check-out lady in the first one and now he makes friends with a homeless pigeon lady and the elderly toy store owner in this movie. 8.The robbers happen to fall into Kevin's traps equally and exact like the first movie. 9.For this to be a kids' movie, it's pretty violent, the things the robbers go through and especially when Harry(Pesci) puts a gun to Kevin's head at the end of the movie.(But of course we know even though he wants to, he's not gonna pull the trigger..but it's still pretty violent) 10.Kevin heads to the Rockerfeller x-mas tree, at the very end, and his Mom is headed there too and that's where they meet and reunite. What a coinsidence!! This movie was a little too silly, a little too violent for the younger crowd and too coincidentual!! But all in all, it was a cute sequal that consisted of the whole entire cast of the first movie. I like sequals that contain the people from the original one. I must add that Joe Pesci was the funniest and greatest actor through the whole movie!! If it wasn't for him or Daniel Stern(Marv), the movie wouldn't be as funny. Culkin was cute too!! *** out of 5 *'s!!
