I’ve
seen the original first Home Alone whenKevin McCallister is left home during
Christmas and must protect a chip in a toy car from criminals, but I had never
seen the second one at Christmas time.
In
this second movie Kevin winds ups alone in New York City. By using his dad’s
credit card he checks himself into a room at the Plaza Hotel. He also explores
the city and buys many different gifts. Meanwhile the familyrealized he’s missing
after landing in Florida and are trying to figure eout how to get him. Kevi
makes a few friends in New York City but once again finds himself being chased
by the two criminals from the first movie.
Just
as the first movie there are chase scenes and little traps set up and Kevin
outsmarts the older criminals once again. One part I liked is in the beginning
he’s very creeped out by the pigeon lady but learns she is a good person and
she helps him escape the criminals.
In
this movie, there is not much character growth or deep meaning behind it. It’s
a cute, family comedy that is probably the type of movie that plays on ABC
Family during 25 days of Christmas. But it was good, I liked the movie. Macauly
Calkin plays the role well, he’s an interesting little kid to watch on screen because
he has so much energy, passion and excitement.
I
liked the use of New York famous and well known spots in the movie, such as
Rockefeller. Centeral Park, and the Plaza. I also liked the pans and city
scapes of New York in the film. But overall I liked this movie, it was a light comedy compared to some of the other films I've watched from this project and it was nice to have one that was less intense. But if it were on TV next Christmas I could see myself watching it again.
