    The scene where the pigeon lady threw the birdseed on Marv and Harry was already funny. It's even funnier knowing that a couple of years prior to this movie, the actress who played the pigeon lady, Brenda Fricker, was the one who presented Joe Pesci with his Oscar that he won for his performance in "Goodfellas". I think it's safe to say he enjoyed receiving the Oscar from her just a little better than he did with the birdseed.😁

      Tim is the main villain in the Disney Three Musketeers movie. He is awesome as Cardinal Richelieu, Kiefer Sutherland as Athos, Charlie Sheen as Armias, Oliver Platt as my favorite Musketeer Porthos, and Chris O’Donnell as the new Musketeer D’Artignan. I love the movie. The BBC Three Musketeers series is very good. It has Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu which is great casting. I liked the series very much.

    Several years ago I used to sing in a local choral society. I had been asking the director if we could sing "Somewhere in My Memory" from the first Home Alone movie. I finally had to quit because I just didn't have the strength anymore, but the last season I was in it the director had finally found an arrangement of it and we did it. It was a wonderful send off for me. I hope you have a Merry Christmas Miss Jen!🎄

If they got the rights to 1st bedtime for bonzo they would cut Reagan out or the same when he played 1st gentleman to a woman President.

    7:28 much as I love this movie I always get an emotional twinge at this point - that's the Observation Deck of the South Tower of the original World Trade Centre. I know the WTC shows up in other movies from the 90s but it's weird to see it actually used instead of just in the background.

    I wanted to see a Home Alone movie where Kevin falls in love with Marley’s granddaughter. It seems like they were setting it up to eventually happen. There was some fan fiction about it. The latest trailer for a Home Alone movie has Culkin finally returning to the franchise as a adult going against the Wet Bandits again, Buzz is a cop, Kevin is telling his mother what happened when he was left alone the first time, and looks like he has some help from someone against the bandits. I am happy McCauley will finally return to the franchise. That is what all the Home Alone movies that came after this movie lacked. They were just trying to recreate the magic of the first movie with a different child each time. They failed every time because it wasn’t Kevin. So I am hoping this new movie, with will be better even if the Marley Granddaughter isn’t in the movie. I will wait and see what happens.

    I remember when I was 5 yrs. old, I'm 76 now, our whole family went out to Hollywood Park (S. Ca. horse track). There were my parents, my sister, & our grandparents. From the parking lot there was a large concrete area leading to the entrances to the track. I was walking along holding my Mother's hand. I remember letting go to do something & reaching back up to grab my Mother's hand again. She stopped suddenly & I looked up. It wasn't my Mother! I don't remember who spotted who first, me or my Mother. I do remember not letting go again.

    Ive been seeing this movie done by a number of reactors lately, of course since its that time of year. And my question lately has been this. Can the hotel charge them for Kevin's room service bill? They checked him into the hotel with what they discovered was a "stolen credit card" and accused him of stealing the card and chasing him out onto the streets. So they can't charge for his room or the charges he racked up because it was charged to a "stolen" credit card. Once the rest of the family got there, the room was given to them free of charge as an apology for their masive screw up with Kevin and how they handled it. So even if they wanted to charge him they cannot because he is a minor and they can't later charge the family because the room was comped.

    I just wanted to say, even though the parents especially Kevin’s mom should have checked for all the kids before boarding the plane. Kevin played his part on being lost too, he stopped in the middle of the crowd knowing very well they are late for their plane. He could have gotten the batteries once they boarded the plane. But hey! they had to find some of kind of “believable” way to separate him from his family. Also, this was back in the 90s… you’d be surprised on how simple times were back then and trusting people can be..of course it’s not as nice as it’s portrayed in this movie. There is still policies boarding passes/tickets about taking the wrong flight and etc. But yeah.. 90s were different times compared to now.
    And Kevin’s family is legit dysfunctional af 😂 but hey no family is perfect you know? 😆

    I don't think it's as good as the first film, it feels like they mostly did the same thing again but just changed the location. That said I still really enjoy this one, mostly because of how over-the-top cartoonishly violent the traps are, Tim Curry being as delightful as always (his delivery of "pizza" lives rent-free in my brain), and as yet another show of how beautiful New York looks at Christmas
