Pros: some funny moments, great family film, keeps your interest, timeless story Cons: some might think it just repeats the first film
The huge success of the first Home Alone film in 1990 just about guaranteed that Hollywood would put out a sequel as quickly as they could. It had been a surprise at the box office, and when it passed $200 million quicker than any other family film, the ...
Pros: creative and hilarious Cons: very similar to the first
As I write, I am watching Home Alone 2 for the umpteenth time. And I have to admit, it's pretty good. The thing that bugs me about this movie is that it is so similar to the first one. Kevin employs all the tricks from the first movie in a new...
Hello there folk. Back in the Summer of 2001... August to be exact, fellow Epinions gamer Chris_Billings held a write-off that was called What Kids Do When Alone W/O. Basically you wrote about a movie, book, or whatever that had to do...
Pros: The soundtrack to this movie is really great. Cons: Cheap remake of the first movie with nothing special of note
Most of the time when I watch sequels, I am disappointed in them because they appear to cheapen the original film. This is quite apparent when viewing a horrible sequel that was developed for Home Alone titled Home Alone 2: Lost in New...
Pros: Tim Curry Cons: A Shabby Remake Of The First Movie, Scary Ideas To Put In Childrens Heads
There is an ideology in Hollywood -that almost any movie that is moderately successful; someone has to make a sequel. Unfortunately, most of the time, The Sequel Sucked. I cannot, offhand, think of any sequel that was as good-or better than...
Pros: CAULEY CONQUERS NEW YORK! Cons: why isn't my brother in this film?
Let me start out this review by stating: I am not a miser! The first Home Alone is not only one of my favorite Christmas movies but one of my favorite movies of any sort! I am also a huge fan of unnecessary sequels. Friday the 13th TEN, Stepford...
Pros: The kids seem to like it. Cons: Sadistic violence. Predictable. Stupid. Need I go on?
Have you seen "Home Alone" where a little boy named Kevin McCallister (Macauly Culkin) is forgotten by his family as they rush to catch a plane for their Christmas vacation in Paris? Once the kid wakes up and finds himself abandoned at home, the rest of...
Pros: cute holiday movie for kids Cons: they re-wrote the first one and released it as a whole new one
When I was younger my sister and I did indulge in occasional viewings of the original Home Alone and I always plotted ways to protect our house from robbers just like Macaulay Culkin. Despite the amount of enjoyment we got out of that one I didn't ...
Pros: Entertaining, funny and great acting Cons: Lots of repetition from the first movie
Ever since Home Alone 2 came out in 1992, Kevin Macalister reintroduced himself as the household figure during Christmas Season. I first watched this movie when I was a kid and I still watch it now- in fact, I would say that I must have watched this ...
Pros: Tim Curry is in it. Cons: Tim Curry humiliates himself.
Many movies over the past few years have stood out as examples of poor writing, ridiculous budgets, and a complete bankruptcy of anything resembling taste or art. Some of these titles: Speed 2, Batman & Robin, Sphere, The Haunting and this weak...
Pros: A few funny moments; kid-friendly Cons: Completely repeats all the jokes from the original; more cartoony than funny.
The idea of a small boy somehow separated from his family at Christmas and then proceeding to befriend a misunderstood person, outsmart adults, and torture criminals in a cartoonish style is an idea that can be used once. "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" ...
I decided to pick this movie up since I loved the first one so much. It all starts when the McCallisters plan a Christmas vacation to Florida. Young Kevin played by Macaulay Culkin isn't too happy about it since he can't understand why his family would...
The Home Alone series has always been one of my favorite video series, mainly because of the humor that it provides. The first Home Alone is a true classic, in my opinion, because of the sheer humor. Leaving your kid home alone by some unfortunate list...
Pros: Some jokes produced some good chuckles Cons: Very predictable, not real funny, character development
"Kevin" (Macaulay Culkin) is back, but this time he's got a lot more room to play around in against the bumbling "Wet Thieves" (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) -- New York City. In addition, he has to deal with the nosy, but well-meaning staff of a hotel he ...
Pros: A great way to continue the previous one. Cons: none.
"Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" is another great movie which is also one of my favorites. Macaulay Culkin does it again. He succeeds to entertain millions more. I have to give it to him, he is one of my favorite actors
Pros: funny movie, Cons: the movie is a bit drawn out in a few scenes but the booby traps at the end make it worth the wait.
After watching and loving the first movie I went to watch the second movie while it still was in theaters and thought it was right up there with the first movie.
Well it's Christmas time at the Macallster residents again and they are planning...
Home Alone. That should say it all right there. Everyone has different ideas or thoughts when they see a picture or they read a book. But what ideas or thoughts come to mind when you see a title to a movie or book?
Pros: As good as the first movie. Cons: Those very same crooks are after him again!
Maculay Culkin is alone again, but in New York City. He has to use his father's credit card in order to get a place to stay in, but later on, gets into trouble which mean that he had to start running! And always, one step ahead!
This was the greatest movie I've ever saw. With Culkin it makes it special. The scenes are very original with tricks. For example when Marv and har went to the door of the house in New York,there was a staple gun attached to it. They stapled...
Pros: He's nice to the bag lady. Cons: Violence too graphic.
The first "Home Alone" was very funny and mostly harmless in what the kids would pick up from watching it. OK, Kevin is pretty much what you wouldn't want for a child, but he was kind-of a Dennis-the-Menace where the trouble is not his fault...
Pros: Great Family Entertainment Cons: Kids Don't Try This At Home
When Home Alone first came out, it made me almost split my sides laughing, especially when Kevin put the spider on Marv, the bad guy. That scream was so authentic sounding and funny, I laughed so hard that I actually cried. Then, as with any...
Home Alone 2 Lost In New York was a lot better than Home Alone for many reasons. One reason I think that Home Alone two is better is because the to robber Marv and Harry both get hurt a lot more in Home Alone two. Like where the are going to go up into...
Well, this movie was funny, but rather predictable. I mean, anyone who saw the first one could predict exactly what was going to happen next... The paint cans, the pipe flying down the stairs... The benevolent grandfatherly figure who saves the day in...
This movie was way to predictable. It was like watching the first movie a second time. You know exactly what was going to happen. They should have at least come up with some new villians. The only thing that really changed was the location; from...
Pros: It was a very funny movie, enjoyable for people of all ages. Cons: None
I think this movie is a very good movie. I first saw the movie a few years ago when it came out, and I recently just watched it again on my way to New York City... How appropriate. I forgot how funny of a film it was. Kevin McAllister is the main...
Pros: Wonderful Christmas movie Cons: Some voilent seanes
Do you ever stop to think about how important family is at Christmas time. Well, the family you are about to watch didn't, eacecially Kevin. Kevin just thinks of his family as an annoying bunch of relatives. He gets wrongly accused of EVERYTHING he...
