    This has got to be one of the best Christmas films I've seen! I loved seeing more of Kevin and his heart for doing good despite his misfortune. He has a good soul and it was fantastic seeing him take on the "Sticky Bandits" out of love for those children and not just his own survival. Enjoy :)

    The most satisfying moment for me is how Kevin called out Uncle Frank for being a cheapskate. That man always treats Kevin badly for no good reason and it felt so good seeing Kevin put him in his place.

      They all were jerks in the sequel, especially for being gullible enough to buy Buzz's halfa-sed apology. I get that in the first movie, the way Kevin acted out was unacceptable for trying to be noticed in a sea of mayhem, but here, he was fully in the right to stand up for himself. When his own family is laughing at his humiliation, they all deserve getting a white turtle 🕊dove flipped off to them.

When things are in order, it's chaos for the family, and managing them takes much effort, and things in this case were NOT in order.

      It can be interpreted that way when you're the passenger for sure.
      From the driver's POV, outside people get inside the cab.
      Driver doesn't know what kind of person the passenger is, and with each ride the destination is unknown until the person says so, and it's uncertain if the driver will get paid or robbed or worse. Mobile phones were not widespread and cabs only took cash as payment back then.

      Christmas Vacation is the same way, another great John Hughes classic. They're great fun. They never take themselves too seriously. Are they high art? Are they Citizen Kane? Obviously not. But for what they are, Home Alone 1 and 2, and Christmas Vacation are the best

    I just realized it's been decades since I've seen that movie. But I've seen it so many times that I remembered what every step of Kevin's preparation were for.
    I also remembered some of the emotional scenes, including pieces of dialogues, but at the time they weren't as impactful to me. I was just a kid who wanted to see the traps and the looney toon logic that somehow maintained the thieves alive through an explosion right next to the head.
    Thanks for giving me a new appreciation for this movie. Happy holidays.

    Florida is a tropical climate so snow is scarce. It's likely you'll get more rain than snow if you spend Christmas there. Most people go in the spring and summer since they have great beaches.
    Since this was in 1992 $967 would be $2174.50 today, or 3413.26 Australian dollars... so not exactly ok

    @ojwh1933 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    OH, YES! I just commented, requesting this, on your previous 'Home Alone' reaction. I'm glad you got around to this earlier this month, so we can see it now.
    This is my favourite Christmas film, even over the first, with 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' being somewhere up there too. Granted, it's strongly borrowing from the first film, but I just find it hits those emotional beats even harder. I will always cry at the end of the first film with Kevin seeing Marley out of the window with their family, but this one with the Christmas shop and the turtle doves... ❤❤❤❤
    They do the same character arc, but more developed (Marley is a B-plot that links in at the end of the first film, whereas here, you have the same with the Pigeon Lady (though they labour the point of them being creepy less before moving onto their true nature) but it connects to the toy store which itself is intrinsically relevant to the main plot, making the whole thing feel even more well rounded) and damn if it's not heart-wrenching.
    As for the rest of the sequels, 'Home Alone 3' isn't at the legendary status of the first two, but I remember it being decent (at least, I thought so as a child). The initial premise is similar, but it has a few of its own ideas, a different director (though same scriptwriter) and different characters, so it stands out enough in the franchise. 'Home Alone 4' is awful though. I laughed a grand total of once. It returns to some of the characters from the first film, but with different casting (and not even an attempt to make the new actors look like the old ones), so you end up with these really awkward moments of "It's you, character who I definitely know, even though we are both clearly different people." That's not as big an issue as just the film not being funny, but it cements the "Oh my goodness, why on Earth was this made?" status of it. And I haven't seen 'Home Alone: The Holiday Heist' (which feels like it has the least film-specific subtitle for a franchise film ever; are they not all holiday heists), nor 'Home Sweet Home Alone'. It's also worth mentioning the fourth and fifth films were made for TV, and the sixth made for Disney+.
    Long story short, try 'Home Alone 3' next year. Don't compare it to the first two. Watch it as its own thing. It's probably good that you're separating each of these by a year in that case. Steer clear after 3 though (at least of 4; I don't know if anyone recommends 5 and 6).
    2:22 - As someone who works in a school, I concur. Unless the culture of 1992 USA (I live in England) was wildly different, everyone in the audience would be feeling sorry for that one kid and despairing or being ashamed of the one playing up. Buzz would be in so much trouble with the teacher and parents afterwards for that.
    15:43 - Try going to Australia from England. 😅I'd love to go, but I feel like I'd need to spend a good amount of time there to justify the cost.
    The same goes for you, I suppose. - I've been told by a couple of Australians during my travels that when you come to a European country, you tend to do a bunch of countries in one trip, and do it during your Winter.
    17:59 - DON'T TEMPT HOLLYWOOD. You just invoked several studio executives and the plans have already started.
    29:14 - (proceeds to 100% kill these people multiple times if this were real life. I feel like they could have plausibly survived the first film (though Harry's head being burned would have required a speedy A&E visit), but the bricks, the electrocution, the explosion... They're dying here for sure.

    For a really long time after the Towers fell, the TV edit of the movie never showed that scene. I basically grew up not knowing it existed.

I've never cried at anything in this movie before. Can't say that now.
