"[Culkin is] an irresistible phenomenon..." Hal Hinson, Washington Post
"...I still can't help laughing at Mr. Stern getting not one but many bricks in the head. He and Pesci do a great job..." Stefan Hedmark, The MovieHamlet
Editor's Note
Kevin finds himself once again alone, this time in the big apple. The wet bandits have escaped from jail and, after a few more rounds with Kevin, probably would have been safer in jail.
Plot Summary
It's Christmas time again, and the McCallisters are off on another vacation. But Kevin wanders off at the airport, and while the family make it to Florida as planned, he gets on a plane bound for New York City. Once there, he turns the city into his personal playground, as he checks into the Plaza, befriends a toy-store owner, and once again battles burglars Harry and Marv.

"...The mood is as buoyant as it was the first time..." 11/20/1992 p.C1Variety 6 of 10
Some day scholars will devote courses to the monstrous box office allure of the original "Home Alone," which, at the time, surprised even Fox. Still, you needn't be able to explain success to know not to tamper with it, so for a sequel the studio has simply re-made the first movie, only with bigger pratfalls. Pic delivers on that level and will doubtless be another huge holiday draw, but the law of diminishing returns dictates it should fall well short of its predecessor...For one thing, the filmmakers have made a minor miscalculation in terms of length, padding the screen time by nearly 20 minutes to two hours--not a great idea considering that a big portion of the audience is very young kids...Finally, adults may be a bit less patient with the more saccharine aspects of the story--which at times feel forced to fit the original mold--as well as the absurd series of coincidences necessary to set up the cartoon-style payoff. - Brian Lowry
