this movie do not work . make a movie featuring over the top cartoon violence can work and but only if you never slip out of cartoon mode . a part drama or part cartoon be not go to work . you can not and for example and make a scene with a little kid have a touching conversation with a lonely homeless woman and immediately follow it up with wacky cartoon antic . when you do that and your movie stop be funny and become extremely disturbing . in the first home alone and kevin only seem interested in maim the villain while in this one he be apparently try to kill them . case in point represent the scene where he be throw brick at marv head . not drop them and but actually throw them at the guy face . from this point on kevin turn into some sort of demon child on par with the kid from pet sematary a he try burn and electrocute and and crack open the skull of his victim while shout thing like and nice night for a neck injury . ( he actually say that ) . the thought of a theater full of young child laugh at two men be brutally torture for half an hour really creep me out . the only possible reason to watch this be for tim curry and one of the world great actor and who steal every scene he in and but otherwise it a waste of time .
