Take every main plot point from the first film and add but hes in New York to it adding barely anything new.

Most sequels, especially in that time, were "same thing as first movie, but again" so I give it some slack. That and it still being entertaining. It's lazy, but it's fine.

I think Donald Trump should have been cast as Tim Currys character.

It's basically the film equivalent of an expansion pack - but hey it's still a lot of fun!

They didn't. They escaped. They even said so at the beginning of the movie.

Not only is it lazy but Culkin isn't as good because he's more self aware and it's not as magical away from Kevin's house

They literally show a newspaper front page that they're on the run, I'm pretty sure.

The first 2 are Citizen Kane compared to 3 and especially what came after that.

I am not saying its a bad Home Alone movie. Im just saying its pretty much a repeat of the original in a different location.

And Home Alone 4 was worse than 3 in that its supposed to be Kevin and his family but played by different actors that look nothing like them. I though it was a prequel at first as HA4 Kevin looks younger than HA1 Kevin.

Yeah, in a massive, and totally different, city to where they committed their crimes. Would YOU recognise an escaped criminal from a different part of the country on your street? WELL?

And most of the Kevin Marv Harry stuff takes place at night in a building with no power so really it should have been Alone in the Dark.

It was his aunt and uncle's home so there's that. I never got that anyway. It's supposed to be under renovation, but it looks more like an abandoned apartment complex than a single family home. What were they trying to do?

Was it really? I always thought they specifically chose an abandonned building for the setting so they could destroy it with no in-universe consequences lol.

I love Home Alone and watch it every year, but only saw part 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was good, but the parts with the robbers went on waaay too long and were boring and unfunny. It just lacked the same kind of charm in way I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Yeah 1 is a better movie but 2 had a better grasp of its audience tbh.

I rewatched both for the first time since childhood just a few years ago and in 1 I was like... was all this story, shopping, church stuff always in here?

Kids don't care about that lol.

Yeah. Kevin looks it up in his dad's address book. There's a scene where the parents are discussing maybe Kevin would try to go there, but the mom mentions they're renovating and on vacation elsewhere.

It still looks more like an abandoned apartment building than a condo or townhouse being renovated.

It just looks like that because it's from Kev's childish viewpoint.

Underrated post.

Also I liked 3 better than 2.
