One of the things I was really excited about in doing this project was the chance and excuse to watch Christmas movies outside of the Christmas season. People tend to look at you weird or think you are strange when you watch Christmas movies during any other time than Christmas. But now I have the reason and the magical movie box has selected for me Home Alone 2 and lest we forget that he is now lost in New York.

| The Sticky Bandits! |
HA2 is a solid sequel and I really like it. Granted, they rehash a lot the same jokes and the movie is so unrealistic. What kind of airline lets a kid on by himself and what kind of hotel lets a kid check into the hotel alone using his father’s credit card? Apparently it’s a hotel with a staff that includes a young Rob Schneider and Tim Curry (the butler from Clue!). But indeed that is what happens. Kevin is “home alone” again when his family gets one plane to Florida and he ends up in the Big Apple. On top of that! The Wet Bandits have escaped and in a city of millions they run right into Kevin, who in returns torches them again and even has pigeons attack them (which is scarier than snot to me!)
Home Alone 2 rehashes a lot of the same high jinks from the first film but is fun no matter. I love these movies and while it is not as good as the first, it’s a must own for me. Plus it has the best scene of the any of the home alones. “Get on your knees and tell me you love me!”
Final Verdict: Must own. Merry Christmas.
