I liked this one bu not nearly as much as part 1!
I do like the traps though!
You know that Kevin grew up to become Jigsaw right!?

Yes yes, but is this sequel SHAMEFUL???

12.21.2011 - 04:51 | blackmaniacYup, that movie is a carbon copy if I ever saw one

Yeah it's a carbon copy and has its bad moments but when you're not watching it back to back with the first movie it's a lot of fun.

I don't know compared to 3 and 4 Home Alone 2: Lost in New York isn't really as bad as I used to think it was. Come to think of it its pretty good as sequels go.

I have never liked from Home Alone 2. It was too much same compared to first one just in different location.

True, the film almost literally repeats the first "Home Alone", but of course now in New York, it still does not make him bad movie, in my opinion. Movie is still a billion times better than crap like "Home Alone 3" and a lot more crap "Home Alone 4"!

Tim Curry was one of the best parts of this movie. There is a transition from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas to Tim Curry's face that is so perfect it makes me wish he had been the one to play him in the live action film, because I'm not even sure he would need make-up to do it.

I was actually going to mention that transition,I love that scene every time and never get's old!.
And sure the second movie did copy the first film to an extent but I think it's how it was represented but it had a formula that worked.
The 3rd film I partially hate only because it takes itself too seriously and has some questionable scenes...
The Fourth Movie just raped the franchise all together, it was done poorly and would have only worked if the original director was at the helm and a better script. I liked the concept of the Fourth but it was presented poorly.

Well, it seems that once again, just like you did with the Back To The Future trilogy, you're doing a series of "Hang On a Second" clips that maybe, could have *possibly* just barely justified their existence if you'd done them all together in one video covering the entire series, but instead you break them up into absurdly short, pointless vids for each movie which say next to nothing and individually have barely any "Hang On A Second" moments in them at all. I realize, you theoretically have three times as many streams (or at least trickles) of income doing it this way, but you really should have a little more respect for your audience than to waste their time with three (or four, or however many movies there were) pretty much pointless videos like this.

Thanks for watching anyway!

I found that as I get older Tim Curry became my favorite part of the movie followed by the extremely deadly traps. However I also have a few hang-ups about the film.
Many people talk about the product placement in Home Alone 2 and it usually involves the Talkboy recorder. However, I think the more shameless is not the one in his pocket.
Why hasn't anyone ever brought up the INCREDIBLY shameless product placement of the Plaza Hotel? Kevin: "Plaza Hotel, New York's finest hotel experience." *smiles to the camera*
First, it gives the ACTUAL bloody toll free number (1-800-759-3000) and shows how easy it is to book a room. Second, the commercial for the Plaza Hotel is played TWICE, one on the TV and again INSIDE the lobby on his Talkboy (if the Talkboy was shaped like a Coke can then it would be a trifecta). Third, Kevin gets "one of their finest suites" and what does he do? He describes the positives of the room, but at first he sounds like a 10-yo.
Bedroom: *whispers* "Wow, a huge bed just for me!"
But then...
Bathroom: "Luxurious and spacious." What?
*Opens little refrigerator 'you have to open with a key' chock full of various sweets*: "How convenient!"
In addition it shows the pool area, the limo service, and of course one of their Penthouse suites.
Or maybe that's just me. Cheers and have a very Coca-Cola Christmas, Mike.

As a kid I couldn't wait for Home Alone 3 after seeing this movie....if only I knew what was to come.
-
12.21.2011 - 09:53 | GrimmMerry Christmas to you too Mike J
And a happy new year to the British Bastard!
he's such a bastard

Oh man, I actually laughed out loud at "Kids are scared of the dark/kids are scared of the park." :-D

Despite the fact that they're basically the same movie, I really enjoy both Home Alone 1 & 2. It's a shame there were never any more sequels and that these two were the only Home Alone movies ever made.
I SAID THE ONLY HOME ALONE MOVIES EVER MADE.

I definitely love the first one more, but Home Alone 2 is still a classic in its own right, namely for being a two year old copy of one of the best movies ever. It's just a shame they couldn't find someone to top his neighbor in scariness/awesomeness, especially when New York should be a treasure trove of weird folk
Also, that skeleton is awesome!

to be fair, it's the only GOOD home alone sequel :)

Watched both these movies this week, and I love them both. 1 is better than 2 but they are both great. Honestly though, I'm not the biggest fan of the trap portions that everyone seems to see as the showcase of the films. And especially in 2, they are just stupid. Those dudes would be fucking dead.

I think the first and the second are both pretty good, even though the second is basically the same as the first in almost every way. But I think the one noticeable difference between the two is how the second is tamer and less violent with the traps portion of the movie...Well, except for that one part where he drops a brick on Marv's head.
-
That's part of its charm- they SHOULD be dead, but they survive to suffer still more, and thus we love it! :D You have a TGWTG account! How are you a big enough fan for that without enjoying needless and excessive sadism as applied to comedic idiotic bad guys?!
-
Yes, it is a bit of a clone but its a refined version of the first one. More extreme traps, more funny hijinks (with the Hotel angle) and a bigger sense of escapism and fun.
Its probably my favorite Christmas movie and I definitely don't hate it for not being as original as the first one.

I wonder if he'll do Home Alone 3 and 4.

I liked the skeletal Marv joke, MikeJ. I'm now going home and mope because you RUINED CHRISTMAS FOREVER.
-
12.23.2011 - 00:59 | SayaCelineI actually enjoyed the second one more. Yeah it's a carbon copy of the first, but I haven't really met anyone who doesn't laugh out loud at it. My coworker and I quote it much more frequently than the first one. You're right in that a lot of the best lines come from the hotel staff. :)

Tim Curry was always my favourite part of this film.. especially his grinch grin.

I know it's kind of mean, but I find it pretty hilarious how British people say "It looks rubbish."
It's polite enough to be quaint, and just different enough from American English to tug at our linguistic narcissism.

I was almost going to post "Hang on a second, you didn't use 'Hang on a second' in this video", but then you had to ruin it for me. :(
