i have no idea quite why and but home alone 2 be my favorite movie of all time . i have the board game ( make a while back ) and ton of book and the piano book a well which i play all year round and i have watch the movie about 80 time so far . i can recite every line and know pretty much everything bout the whole movie . there just smooth about this one that be so much good than the first . perhaps it just the whole new york scene and i think the bandit do well act as well . i can not stand home alone 3 though . they totally spoil it and ruin the whole home alone title . the actor be terrible and the movie just plain suck . if anyone want to talk bout the movie with me and do not be shy .
