Home Alone 2 really did feel like a perfect sequel in many ways. It did something new while staying close to what we love from the first.

Home Alone 2 has always been my go to example of an underrated sequel. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I definitely think that LINY is on par with the first, it’s really neck and neck between the two. I don’t really mind it being similar to the first because the sequel really makes it stand out by making the stakes bigger and the finale much more enjoyable. Although it is arguable between which is the best, I definitely think that LINY is much funnier than the first. I mean the hotel staff, the bird lady, the final showdown and of course, the scene in the toy store with Mr. Duncan. This movie definitely has its moments that deserve recognition on their own without being overshadowed by the first. I simply love this movie

None of that was Tim Currys fault or the very young Rob Scneiders who played the Bellhop. Eventually at the end of the movie Rob Schneider delivers the room service bill to Buzz who answers the door which Kevin had under his father's name and u hear his father yelling at him before the end credits roll...I wonder what happen to Kevin after that.

I will always love the second Home alone more than the first one. I grew up in a rural area and I always enjoyed seeing what Christmas was like in the City. Plus I swear there are more quotable moments in this movie than the first lol.

that skeleton scene is one of the funniest things i have ever seen in my life. i remember rewinding my VCR countless of times in tears from laughing at it.

“You can new with a lot of things, but you can’t mess with kids on Christmas” is such a great line. And then the freaking Theme pumps in and Kevin runs back to stop Harry and Marv. It’s so good

I absolutely love this movie as well as the original. The scene where Marv got covered in bird seed and screamed still makes me cry with laughter now. I’m in my 30s and it’s such a throwback to younger times when life was more simple 🙌🏻

Merry Christmas , Chris (and Family!) Great review as always, hope to see some great stuff from you in the new year🎆 🍻

I remember having a VHS copy and rewinding to see Daniel Stern fall down a floor over and over again. Excellent laughter for hours on end.

I loved both films as a kid. It always got me in the Christmas spirit and mood. I showed part 1 to my 3rd grade students over Zoom last December, and I looped with the same students. Last week I showed them Home Alone 2 in person. It was nice, although admittedly my students were not as engaged. Glad you still love it, Chris! For me, I found this most recent viewing was a little lackluster for me. I definitely prefer Home Alone 1, but I think 2 is about as good as a sequel could be. Home Alone is perfect enough to be a standalone, but I understand the desire to make a sequel based on how popular part 1 was in 1990. 2 is definitely not without its various charms, but it’s missing that magical element the original one had.

I feel exactly the same about this film, I watch it every year and like it as much as the first. It’s the first film plus more! One of the cases where that actually worked in a sequel. Plus Tim Curry is amazing! I love the way he says Pizza!

Watching this video in bed before going to sleep on Christmas Eve put such a huge smile on my face, merry Christmas Chris!

All the good things you mentioned is why I love the second movie as much as the first. You quoting the funny lines and making yourself laugh has made my day 🎄

Are you going to do the “best of” video for ‘21? :)

bro I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your energy in the newer videos XD your impressions are hilarious

One element that I love in this film that I don't see anyone talking about is Kevin's motivations in fighting Harry and Marv. In the first film, it's just straight up defense. They're breaking into his house, and he is trying to stop them. However, in this movie he goes out of his way to engage them because they're stealing money that is going to be donated to a children's hospital. It doesn't threaten or affect him, and he could've just walked away and let it happen, but his arc drives him to seek redemption by doing the best deed he can do on Christmas Eve: stopping them from stealing from sick kids. I don't know, something about making the climax driven by altruism makes it feel so much more righteous.

Brenda Fricker is a foster mom in Angels In The Outfield as well. ☺️ Home Alone 2 is my favorite movie out of all of them in the franchise.

The original idea of Home Alone 3 is to follow teenage Kevin McCallister, I think Kevin would attend Shermer High School because Home Alone is a John Hughes movie. That is such a great idea! Originally, Home Alone 2 and 3 were going to be filmed back to back like Back to the Future 2 and 3.

Your love for this film is infectious, merry christmas to ya Chris!

Merry Christmas, Chris! Hope the Holidays are special for you and your loved ones!

I love Home Alone and Home Alone 2 equally even though they are extremely similar. Fun fact though is that Macaulay Culkin got paid $100k for the first movie , but was paid $4.5 million for Home Alone 2. It all has do with the success the first movie had. Still one of the highest salaries for a child actor.

The first Home Alone movie is the best of the two. Its a timeless classic that is balanced, well-paced and directed. Certainly legendary status across all other Christmas movies. Home Alone 2 is great and very enjoyable, and it does have some parts that are funnier than the first. It also has my guy Tim Curry!

Great video Chris ! Merry Christmas ☃️❄️🎄 !

Thanks for the great review Chris. This and the first one have always been favourites of mine. Brenda Fricker was a in a tv series here in the UK called Casualty for a looong time. Lol. She was much younger then. Was almost strange to see her turn up in Home Alone 2 when I was a kid. Lol

I love this movie. My grandmother passed away this year and I have so many memories of watching this with her.

I didn’t really like this movie back when I was a kid because, as Chris mentioned, it was a beat for beat remake and not as good. Now I’m 40 and I fucking LOVE it, especially Tim Curry. Watched it three times this month.

Despite it being literally the same as the first movie at its base, it's still just so good, enjoyable and funny.

Great review. I really like this movie as well. My favorite scene is very short, involving Tim Curry contorting his face into the Grinch. Heck, I'm convinced _How the Grinch Stone Christmas_ (2000) would have been a better film if Tim had played the Grinch instead of Jim Carrey. He could have done it with minimal makeup, as he demonstrated in this 1992 movie.

Happy Holidays, Stuckmann. Can't wait to see your movie.

The choral piece used in the movie (Christmas Star) is one of my favourite holiday songs. It captures some of the loneliness of Christmas so beautifully.

The sound effect Marv makes when he falls through the gigantic hole in the floor has me in stitches every time I watch it and it's just as funny as his scream. I don't how he didn't see the hole number one but hey it's a movie and it's fun slapstick. "WOW..WWHAT A HOLE."

Same, every year I laugh at that bit 😂

I loved this movie as a kid, and I still enjoy it today. It was another fun, simple Christmas movie.

Thanks, Chris! Merry Christmas!

I tend to agree with the Flick Pick in regards to Home Alone 1 and 2! They’re both amongst my favorite movies, but I think the first is slightly “better” while the second is more “rewatchable.” Watched Lost in New York again on Christmas Eve with my brothers and my older brother’s girlfriend, and it was truly magical. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Chris! 💪🎅

I've always liked this movie more than the 1st. Culkin was at the peak of his likability here, the New York setting is awesome, the soundtrack is great, and it just has an incredible Christmas feel to it.

This film is more Christmassy than the first! And it's even funnier!

I actually prefer the second. The ending with the traps are more elevated and so funny 😂

I was OBSESSED with both 1 and 2. When 2 came out I was HYPED! I had all the talkboy things, which didn't really work like the movie one so that was gone after a few months. I had a moment in New York when my dad was there for schooling and brought me and my mom with him. We had a limo to go around town (we were outside the city) and because it was "New York" and a limo, my mom got pizza to go with the limo. I was so embarrassed because I was turning into a teenager around that time, but I remember it fondly now, lol.

Once again Chris transforms into a kit for this review and I love it
