After snarky youth Kevin McCallister loses track of his father at the airport, he mistakenly gets on a plane headed for New York City -- while the rest of the McCallisters fly to Florida. Now alone in the Big Apple, Kevin cons his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel and begins his usual antics. But when Kevin discovers that the Sticky Bandits are on the loose, he struggles to stop them from robbing an elderly man's toy store just before Christmas.

Critics Consensus

A change of venue -- and more sentimentality and violence -- can't obscure the fact that Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a less inspired facsimile of its predecessor.

Culkin is breezily winning once again as the self-reliant kid alone, while Pesci and Stern deserve combat metals (especially Stern) to the bricks and slings they endure.

It's much more violent than the first film's comparable set of dirty tricks. And Kevin, removed from his embattled home, seems much more cavalier, possibly even meaner than his bullying older brother, Buzz (Devin Ratray).

2/4

The pleasures here are entirely cruel, with an unhealthy concentration on the suffering of the victims, on the thudding impact of various objects against their heads, on their howls of agony.

1.5/4

Just when it appears this can’t get any worse, along comes America's favorite white supremacist in a pointless cameo.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York manages to up the stakes while Kevin has to fend for himself in a very different environment.

2/5

Sorely lacks the situational specificity and just the vague whiff of 'this could actually happen' from the previous film.

Yeah, this movie requires about as much suspension of disbelief as any. But like I said with the first one, who really cares? It’s plotting may be even more nonsensical here, but it still has all of the charm and magic that the first one did. It still has that Christmas spirit unlike any other, and still manages pull at the heart strings. It’s also a holiday classic.
