5.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel to the original, September 11, 2000

This review is from: Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"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."

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST HOME AOLNE EVER and a very special movie for the heart., October 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This sequel actually turns out better than the first and soooooo much better than the third. Kevin again finds himself stranded without his family, but this time he is in New York. With beautiful christmas music, and spectacular visions of holiday surroundings, this movie earns to be my favorite christmas movie of all time. This movie provides extra and a ton more laughs than the first one with awesome performances by TIM CURRY, ROB SHNIEDER, AND DANA IVY. They lighten the movie up to me. But also this movie is special for the heart and soul, when Kevin finds a poor woman to befriend, and love on the streets. This movie goes to prove that: Maybe there is people out there that will give the time, care, and effort to make a difference in some one's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars And He's Back; They're Back...Again!, February 10, 2005

This review is from: Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York (DVD)

Last time around, Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) was left home alone (pun intended) by his family in a frantic hurry to get to the airport. And to add insult to injury, he had to deal with a couple of bumbling sillies--burglars who wanted to burglarize his house--who went by the name of the "Wet Bandits." This time around, it's more of the same, but with a slight difference: this time, he gets on the wrong plane, and is left to his own devices in the "Big Apple"--a/k/a New York City.

The plot is pretty similar to the last one in many ways: Kevin gets into trouble due to getting into it with his older brother, and is punished. He gets fed up with his family treating him unfairly, and in the midst of his angst, wishes that he could have a vacation on his own, without any of his family. The next morning, in a frantic hurry, the family rushes to the airport to go to Florida for Christmas vacation. In the airport, Kevin stops to put some batteries into his small camcorder (which will be largely significant later in the film), and as soon as he lifts his head, his family are long gone. He spots an older guy from the backside who looks like his dad, and therefore gets on the same plane as this gentleman, believing that it really was his dad. Needless to say, he was in for a big surprise when the plane landed.

Meanwhile, the "Wet Bandits" (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) escape from jail, and are in the "Big Apple" as well. You know what happens: they cross paths, and these two clowns are looking for revenge. The slapstick craziness that was seen in the last film, is taken up an extra notch, and is made gut-bustingly funnier as a result. (And again, just listening to Daniel Stern's demented operatic-like screeching as he gets his, alone, just slams the wind straight out of me. It's too hilarious!)

As for poignant moments, last time around, the "scary" character was an old man who was rumored to be a murderer. This time, it's a homeless woman who dwells in Central Park, and her companions are a bunch of pigeons.

These Home Alone films are recommended for anyone with a taste for over-the-top, outrageous slapstick humor, added with a large dose of mischief. Also recommended if you want to bring out the kid in you.
