Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back. But this time he's in New York City - with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his own playground! But Kevin won't be alone for long. The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist.
Product reviews...
I grew up watching Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, so when I managed to get this on DVD to watch with my own children, I was rather happy.
This time around Kevin ends up getting on the wrong plane and when he lands he discovers that he is in New York. Instead of going to the adults at the airport or any authorities he heads off with his dads credit card and rents a room in a swanky hotel. He ends up running into the now sticky bandits and finds himself trying to save a toy store from theft, gets up to his old tricks (but in new ways) of trying to beat them up. And once again, the mother is off to try and find him.
With mostly the same cast as in the previous movie, and this is great for continuity, but what crap parents that the loose him a second time... :P I love Tim Curry in any role I've seen him in and this movie is no different as he plays a very suspicious hotel clerk. The kids really enjoyed this christmas movie though not as much as they enjoyed the first, but none the less this will still be a christmas movie tradition.
