Better than expected

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

Directed by Chris Columbus this film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Tim Curry and Catherine O'Hara. While his family is heading off to Miami for Christmas our mischief maker accidentally ends up in New York.

For most of this film the film makers manage to keep the tone of the original without repeating events too closely as to make this seem like just a remake. Oddly it is the big battle finale which goes too close to the original for my taste but still this is an entertaining watch and a good sequel. The film is well made and manages not to ram the Christmas message too strongly down the throats of the audience.


3/5
