  Lost in New York is its predecessor in a different setting. But the heartwarming charm is still there and its this and a few new tricks up Culkin's sleeve that save it.

  I don't know what some of you sick people out there are talking about....This is the blueprint of how to make a sequal....You do the same thing (cause that's what brough you succes in the first place)....but you change the playingfield....and add some new characters. That's exacly what's has been done here....and it's done to perfection....just as good as the first one...if not better...now he's got 2 teams against him....the thiefs...and the people at the hotel....AND! he's in New York....something gotta give!

  HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK isn't terrible. It's the same premise as the first movie (with almost 99% of the same pranks, too), except played in The Big Apple--which doesn't make it any better.

  Follow up to the very popular Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is basically the same idea, but with a different twist. The main character, Kevin McCallister is stranded in New York and has to outwit the burglars from the first film. As far as sequels are concerned, this sequel is just as good as the first, and that's rare. The cast of the first film returns in this sequel, and I think that's what makes this sequel work so well. Not only that, but the script is well written, and the gags are just as funny as the first film. The film doesn't do anything new, except that it changes the setting to New York. The film is very entertaining and manages to be funny and amusing. There's a good cast here, and this is a fun. I really enjoyed this film as much as the first, and though it doesn't anything too thrilling, this is still a fun comedy that the whole family will enjoy. As far as the humor is concerned, I felt that it was slightly better than the first. Screenwriter John Hughes gave a lot more emphasis on the humor and developed something a tad better. The first Home Alone was a good film as well, but this time around they managed to perfect the formula and create something more fun, and interesting. But both films are equally good, and I don't have a favorite. For a sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is better than your regular sequel, and manages to be a lot of fun, and entertaining for the family. Both films were great. I feel that the third doesn't really count because it was too dreadful. However, the first two Home Alone films are very good comedies.

  It's been way too long since I've seen this movie but I grew up with it and loved it.

  A disaster, terrible sequel to a great first movie.

• Eric A

  
  Glad they didn't lose pace with this one. Just as funny as the first, if not funnier! Classic.

• Bethany M

  
  A childhood favourite and a classic!

• Dean !

  
  Just as good as the first one, follows the exact same formula, just a different setting. If you liked the first you should like this just as much!

  This sequel to the classic Home Alone, is fun and entertaining, especially for kids, but it's no where near as good as the first movie. For the most part it's overly slapstick and too silly. There are some sentimental scenes towards the end, though. Overall, it's pretty good, but it could have been better.

  This film is about a kid who goes on the wrong flight when his family goes to Miami fl. Kevin ends up in New York. Intended of trying to get a hold of his parents, he goes on an adventure of a lifetime. He also meets a woman with a lot of birds and two bad guys that he has to play a lot of tricks on them so the cops can catch the bad guys. This film has good acting and a really good plot. It is really fun with the slapstick comedy. If u wants a film that is really funny then you should give this film a try.

  In this sequel Kevin tries to murder te wet/sticky bandits. He is no longer playing playful pranks, he wants blood. He also befriends a homeless pigeon lady in Central Park that most likely smells like shit.

  Just as good as the first and perhaps more devious. This is a revenge story for Harry and Marv, who are out for blood. However, it is just as much about Kevin honing his identity theft skills and voice manipulation con man devices. Macaulay Culkin has a number of tricks up his sleeves, including a rigged out trap house that electrocutes its victims and showers them in bricks and tools. Bird Lady, Bell Boys and various New York scum were all great additions to the franchise, especially when they're so over the top and ridiculous. Sure, it might share a lot of the same lines and plot lines as the original, but how else would you want it?

  Christmas Move Review Mania Episode #9: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York I like reviewing the sequels before the original for some reason. Thats just me. Anyway, Home Alone 2 isn't much of a worthy sequel. While the film is very funny, the plot is predictable and dumb and the comic violence is unneccesary and sickening. Home Alone 2 is a good watch but it is not the best movie. The first is indeed better. However, there is one element of the film that is so beast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWxDmBocGrM

And they kept the sequel similar and that's what I liked. One thing to point out, why would uncle Frank take shower while leaving the door open? <a href="http://s1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/?action=view&current=homealone2_l.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/homealone2_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Home Alone 2"></a>

  This film is awesome... no, that's sort of what should be said about the first one! But this is the first one! The only difference is that it takes place in new york! And apparently Home Alone now means in the city alone! :)

• Jennifer D

  
  I still laugh like a complete moron while watching this. It is hysterical, and even better than the first!

• Leigh R

  
  More funny Culkin stunts.

  "Home Alone 2" has everything the original did, and some extras. It's a little bit different, but in a good way. Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin) boards the wrong plane and heads to New York City while his family is on their way to Miami. Only this time, he's not stuck at home, he's in a big city. Also, in this one, he makes a few friends, most notably a pigeon lady and a toy store owner. "Home Alone 2" has more drama in it than the first one did, and when you hear Kevin talk to the pigeon lady and find out why he vows to stop the 'Wet Bandits' once again, you'll notice that. But don't get me wrong, "Home Alone 2" doesn't suffer any in the comedy department. The traps are just as clever and hilarious, and the movie is just as much of a holiday classic as the original "Home Alone" was. If you liked the original "Home Alone," or if you like Christmas comedy movies, I'd recommend getting "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. Not as good as the original, which is my favorite Christmas movie of all time, but still very nice.
