    Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals

    I actually enjoy this one more than the first. Love seeing some of the iconic sites of New York City, and just what it looked like in 1992.

    A very similar formula to the first but obviously set in NYC, so there was a lot of potential for different ideas which I felt they capitalized on. Steady laughs throughout from all the characters. The addition of Tim Curry was amazing. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern crack me up in their roles as the Wet/Sticky Bandits.

    A very good sequel that delivers in pretty much every way, especially the Christmas feels.

    Same plot. Same actors. New traps. No problem.

    Home Alone 2 has pretty much the same plot as the first movie, but Home Alone 2 is a very good sequel. The new traps for the Wet, er... Sticky Bandits are great. Once again Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern give wonderful performances. Having Tim Curry in this was also a treat. There is a lot of enjoyment in this movie.

    I love it!

    "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" is young Macaulay Culkin's second greatest hour in the series as Kevin McCallister, who has to learn to be a man again on the mean streets of the Big Apple after being separated from his family once more. He checks into a swank Manhattan hotel (where Donald Trump is apparently staying at too). He's pursued again by comic bad guys Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), and director Chris Columbus and screenwriter John Hughes keep the action and laughs coming. Tim Curry also appears as a concierge who has to prove that Kevin is on his own, and Brenda Fricker is the pigeon lady who watches over Kevin's little shoulder. There is another tricks & traps showdown at the end, which keeps the slapstick and comic violence at an all-time high.

    8/10

    Great sequel

    This is one of the few times the sequel is better than the original. A classic Christmas movie. The house traps at the end are much better than the first movie too. And who doesn't love Harry and Marv?

    Final grade: 9/10 ya filthy animal

    'Home', sweet home.....in New York

    ***

    Starring: Machauley Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, and Catherine O' Hara.

    The same boy who was accidentally left Home Alone a year ago, accidentally takes the wrong flight. Instead of arriving in Miami with the rest of his family, he arrives in New York! The same two robbers that failed to rob his house last time, coincidentally arrive in New York to rob another place! What a small, freakin' world.

    The movie has the same number of slapstick humor and the same amount of fun, so this should be a holiday treat.

    • Quotes

      Gangster: [on a video playing on a TV in another room] You was here last night too, wasn't ya?

      Concierge: [hesitates and unaware he's listening to a video] ... Yes, sir. I was.

      [nods]

      Gangster: [sternly] You was here, and you was smoochin' with my brother!

      [the Concierge is taken aback and a little amused. He assumes that the gangster is referring to the embarrassing shower incident that happened last night but denies it]

      Concierge: [scoffs, grins in embarrassment and half laughs] I'm-I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.

      Gangster: Don't gimme that! You've been smoochin' with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff.

      [the Concierge is shocked and confused by this accusation. Coincidentally, one of the other staff members happens to be called Cliff, it says so on his name badge. He gasps and the others look at him in disbelief, shocked]

      Cliff: [looks alarmed and panics] No... it's a lie!

      Gangster: I could go on forever, baby!

      Concierge: [half laughing] I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man.

    • Crazy credits
      Just as the end credits finish, the Hughes logo is moving and making crashing sounds (much like bowling pins being knocked over by a bowling ball, then ending with the sound of a triangle). This is a reference to the film logo moving as seen in the TV spots and theatrical trailer.
    • Alternate versions
      For the television version, about twenty minutes of this movie was edited in very small sections, because this movie is exactly two hours long. In order to watch the full version on television, the time slot is extended to two and a half hours.
