The All Things Movies Xmas Advent Calendar – Day 4: Home Alone 2

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Dir: Chris Columbus
Starring: Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern

Home Alone 2 is behind door number 4! The follow up to the immensely popular Home Alone, the sequel flips the original on its head, this time placing Kevin McCallister in the middle of New York with the same burglars to take down. Although it was savaged by critics and is completely derivative of the original, there is a lot to like and its heart is ultimately in the right place. Kevin is still a great protagonist and watching him take down the bad guys is just as satisfying as it was the first time.
