the original home alone be an outstanding classic . home alone 2 be good and but not outstanding . it have the same cast member and a similar plot to the original . this time kevin isn not leave at home and he mistakenly end up in new york and by himself . at the same time and harry and marv and the two bumble burglar from the original and have get out of jail and just happen to be in new york . what a bad turn for kevin . there be a few other sub plot in this that make the movie more fun and interesting a it go . the only bad thing about this movie be that it follow the sequence of event a little too closely to the original . the setting in this movie be different and so the story take a new approach in some way . i think most kid will love the original and but like this at the same time . john hughes make his movie in a way so they be direct at an audience that be the same age a the main character . that be the reason his movie appeal to so many people . this be definitely worth watch . it not as outstanding a the original and but it be head and shoulder above the horrid 3rd and 4th home alones . you should give this a try and ignore the imdb rating of 5 . 0. i be sure the whole family will like it .
