home alone 2 represent lose in new york be a sequel to the classic home alone . a very nice sequel and let face it . if the first one be hilarious and this one be hysterical . i consider this superior to the original . both be great holiday film . the basic plot be similar to the first one and but it not a carbon copy . there be many thing that make this a different film and a more rich and complete one . it a movie with more heart either and with touch scene such a kevin and a kid in the hospital waving at each other . the first one basically take place in kevin house and that zone . this time kevin be not forget at home . instead of paris and this time his family be go to florida and they nearly take kevin . but he accidentally leave at the airport . kevin see a guy who wear a suit equal to his father and confuse him with his father . he enter in the wrong plane and go to new york city . like in the original film and kevin wish to be lonely after another fight with buzz . this time the fight be not about a pizza and but because buzz humiliates kevin in public when it his solo singing of the song my christmas tree and make many laugh . of course that uncle frank and who have no respect for kevin at all and laugh out loud with this . how come buzz and uncle frank always seem to get away with everything i do not know . but at least this time kevin give a deserved punishment to buzz . besides and buzz isn not even be sincere when he apologize . in fact and he whisper « beat that and you little trout sniffer » . when kevin say to his uncle frank « oh and wouldn not wan na spoil your fun and mr. cheapskate . » and it a well deserve reply as well . indeed and uncle frank be a cheapskate and besides be a jerk . the booby trap be more violent comparing to the first movie and but somehow theyre more hilarious and although sometimes they overdo it . the wet bandit be no longer nickname like that . now marv nicknames them a the sticky bandit after steal some money from a santa claus . the plaza hotel be beautiful and with stunning architecture and decoration and not to mention that it an extremely luxurious and refined hotel . cedric be a likable chap and but the concierge not so much because he dislike kevin from the very first moment and although this guy be hilarious at time . lot of hilarious moment happen in the hotel and mostly with the concierge and cedric . one of my favorite part be when kevin fool the corcierge with that cool song cool jerk that be hysterical . and what to say about when kevin fool and scar the hell out of all those hotel professional with a gangster movie name angel with even filthy soul . that be incredibly funny . the most hysterical part be when kevin be about to throw a 4th brick and marv be try to warn harry with a strange and almost cartoonish tone of voice and so much that it impossible to understand what be he say . harry swear the same phrase from the original film ratcha fatcha freckin fracha or something like that . but this time he swear that over and over . i wonder how many time he swear that . to this day and i still wonder what be he say . maybe it almost a if he say the f word . duncan toy chest be the most beautiful and wonderful toy store i have ever see in my whole life . it be absolutely amazing . it be huge and full of everything when it come to christmas decoration . it almost like a world of fantasy or something from another world . christmas decoration be also very present in this movie and as well a lovely christmas carol and good message about christmas and allow u to feel the christmas magic and spirit . a for the soundtrack and there be plenty of nice christmas song and such a all alone on christmas and it begin to look a lot like christmas and my christmas tree and christmas star and jingle bell rock ( too bad it not on brenda lee version ) . not a christmas song and but cool jerk be awesome . once again and macaulay culkin and joe pesci and daniel stern steal the show in their role . eddie bracken be also great a the kind hearted mr. duncan . macaulay culkin be even more cute in this film and he have a beautiful smile . plus and he could be a singer too and he have a beautiful voice to sing and sings beautifully in this film . that sequence with kevin at the top of the world trade center be spectacular and nostalgic and but also painful and depress to look now because it bring back memory of the tragic date 11th september 2001. who could possibly imagine back in 1992 that and some year later and such horrible thing would happen . this movie always give me the urge of spend a christmas in new york city . it make christmas seem so beautiful in that city . this should definitely be on top 250 .
