Our take on Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Chris Columbus reprises the formula that made the original a holiday staple, sending Kevin astray again—this time alone in New York with his father's credit card and a hotel room to himself. When the Wet Bandits resurface with plans to rob a toy store on Christmas Eve, the film shifts into the elaborate slapstick traps it's known for. As family adventure comedy from 1992, it trades the suburban house for a sprawling city, widening the playground without abandoning its cozy Christmas heart. Best suited to viewers who loved the first installment and families after a familiar, boisterous seasonal watch, it delivers exactly what its premise promises.
