Better than the 1st and 3rd films

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 1999)

Ah, the holidays. It's a frantic time of the year, as well as a joyous occasion. Just ask the McCallister family. They mistakenly forgot or lost young Kevin (Culkin) twice, and twice Kevin had fouled two moronic burglars Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) from ruining his Christmas. "Home Alone" is a great holiday movie, but it's 1st and 3rd versions was not that great. However, the 1st sequel is FAR more superior than the other flicks, because, well in my opinion, it has more laughs, better performances, and a better backdrop, good old New York City, my favorite town. Mack Culkin does a way better job reprising his trademark character, plus adding more sympathetic depth to his role. Where is that kid anyway? After "The Pagemaster" 4 years ago, Culkin seemed to disappear after that, then a year ago, the pretty boy got married at 17 years old! I'm a teenager, maybe I should get married that young, too!
