Always a ton of fun around the holidays, this big box office success from 1992 and terrific sequel to the original, HOME ALONE 2 delivers laughs and Christmas fun for the whole family.
Writer John Hughes and Director Chris Columbus manage to set up another funny scenario in which Kevin (Macauley Culkin) ends up on a flight to New York while his entire family ends up on a flight to Florida.
Once in Manhattan, Kevin manages to book a room at The Plaza, meet President Elect Trump and garner the attention of the hapless Wet Bandits Harry & Marv (Joe Pesci & Daniel Stern) who have recently escaped from jail and headed to the Big Apple for a big score.
Macauley is hilarious and adept at all the physical comedy and manages once again to create a massive mouse trap of violent comedic traps for our bumbling bad guys.
Brenda Fricker manages to have some nice holiday themed moments as a homeless woman in Central Park and Tim Curry damn near steals the whole movie in a hilarious role as the Concierge at The Plaza.
Curry makes every facial expression and bit of physical comedy work as he takes every measure to get Kevin tossed out of The Plaza, to no more avail than our bandits.
Ron Schneider has some funny moments as a Bellman and Catherine O'Hara reliably delivers as Kevin's absent minded Mom.
Family fun (as long as the little ones dont decide to throw bricks at people's heads like Kevin does, belting Marv a dozen hilarious times), HOME ALONE 2 delivers plenty of HO HO HO and gets a holiday cheer drenched A-.
