4.6?!?

Rating: 6/10 (22 September 2001)

Hey I know this movie ain't a masterpiece, it may be just a product of the money-making machine of hollywood, it may be just a way to cash in on the first film's success, but I think this movie has a value of its own, present specially on the way New York itself is also a character throughout the film, which makes it a part of the story and not just a setting. I think this movie does not deserve the rating it has been given, the John Williams score is worth 7 points alone. The movie has also some magic moments, more-than-just-funny performances by the "Wet Bandits" and, most importantly (a hint for the makers of Home Alone 3) IT STICKS TO THE VALUES OF THE FIRST MOVIE!!! I mean, they don't want to do it for the slapstick or the gross-out humor, it's really a sequel and not a way to make money out of the first movie. I liked altogether, no matter what the others think, it has heart and very cool moments, and of course the score makes it all worth it. A good family film, to entertain everybody.
