Proves there's money in the formula

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2018)

There's a familiarity with "Home Alone 2" that serves it well. If you want to see Stern and Pesci get hurt again, you've come to the right place. And there's serious entertainment value to be had in that respect. You wouldn't believe the squeals of laughter coming from my 8 year-old as Marv took a brick to the face. And another. And even more. Should I be worried? Nah . . .
But I enjoyed this one a bit less than the original because the Kevin McAllister character is a harder pill to swallow this time around. Just seems like more of a jerk in this movie. The airport confusion that results in his being separated from his family is more contrived, and it all comes off rather cynical.
