Alone again, in jingle rockin' good sequel

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2017)

Kevin still hasn't lost his touch. He gets separated this time, happily ending up in New York, while his folks end up in Miami, The McCallisters, not the most responsible of parents (this is the second time). I for one, can't blame Kevin (the odd kid out in the family) for smiling, as having to put up with all those douchebags, he calls family, notably beefcake brother, Buzz and his horrible, irascible Uncle, who I have a pet hate for. Using his parent's credit cards, racking up quite a bill, Kevin lives it up in the famous Plaza hotel, scoring some really suss and sour looks from some hotel staff. And guess who he bumps into, on his travels. So again, he uses his smarts and wits on the wet bandits (Stern so good here) where they take worse spills, and a hell of a lot of pain, trying to overthrow their rival. There are some similarities to the first one, that in no way, dampens this one. Again notable performances are that of O'Hara and, Stern, and Brenda Fricker as a homeless woman, her only friends, manifold of pigeons, and Kevin. Macaulay too is just perfect as before, a role, obviously, he was born to play. It's just a sad reminder, of how he could of been such a bigger star. Rob Reiner too, is very good and memorable as the cutish bellboy. This good sequel delivers, so most HA fans shouldn't be disappointed, especially if you really wanna see what the wet bandits deserve.
