Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

Genre: Comedy / Christmas
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Cast: Macaulay Caulkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern
Time: 120 minutes



The McCallister family is planning another group vacation for Christmas, this time to Miami. They have to rush again in the morning because they overslept, but, unlike the previous year, they don’t forget little Kevin at home. Unfortunately, Kevin gets confused at the airport and ends up travelling to New York on his own. In The Big Apple, Kevin will again encounter the crooks from the first movie, Harry and Marv, after they escape from prison during a riot.

This sequel feels like a rehash of the first, with barely enough changes to make it not a total repeat. There is some funny business and some touching moments. Culkin was really good for a kid his age. But, this sequel sure is not as good as the original.
