"Home Alone 2" clones virtually every aspect of the original,without adding anything new or funny. The plot is basically the same except this time the movie takes place in New York and not in a house. Macaulay Culkin gives a decent performance but he can't save this movie.
There is some mild coarse language, name-calling and insults in this movie, including 'you little pervert', 'jerk', 'idiots', 'you big horse's ass', 'you big sissy' and 'shut up'.
However the final box office gross was lower with $173.6 million in the United States and Canada and a worldwide total of $359 million, compared to $476 million for the first film. The film was released in the United Kingdom on December 11, 1992, and topped the country's box office that weekend.
But if you care about the ideas and language you expose your kids to - then SKIP this MOVIE! The sexual content in the first 10 minutes of this movie alone is a huge concern. 6 people found this helpful.
Sadly, Home Alone 3 without Kevin failed to resonate with audiences. The movie barely made $80 million (via Box Office Mojo), which is a more than significant drop from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York's $359 million gross (via Box Office Mojo).
Kevin is back once again in this awful fourth installment of the classic home alone films one of the reason this film is so bad is because it has a weak plot and none of the original actors/actresses at all are in it!
While the original is an absolute classic that changed the way we think about families at Christmas, we have to say the sequel was pretty badass as well. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that the second film is even better than its predecessor. You may think it's blasphemy to even think such a thing, but hear us out.
At the same time, Home Alone 2 gave Kevin a chance to genuinely grow, and the movie expanded its story in ways that made him a stronger and even more heroic protagonist than in the original. Here's how Home Alone 2 bucked the odds to successfully build on the original Home Alone and become a holiday season fixture.
There is some name-calling and coarse language as well as insults in this movie, including 'you little jerk', 'crap', 'shut up', 'ass', 'You're such a disease', 'You are a puke', 'dummy', 'family sucks', 'you filthy animal', 'you little creep', 'morons' and 'big horse arse'.
Parents need to know that the young child in this slapstick comedy has to face adult burglars by himself because nobody believes that he's telling the truth. The kid's attempts at fighting back include lots of slapstick violence and comedic peril (falls, injuries, hot fondue incidents) ... just like in the rest of the…
However, Culkin's hiatus from acting at 14 years old after the 1994 film Richie Rich posed a problem for the franchise. Macaulay Culkin wasn't keen on returning for Home Alone 3, as he had grown tired of playing Kevin and other child roles (via IMDb).
Donald Trump has denied claims made by the director Chris Columbus that he “bullied his way into” appearing in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The former US president said on his social media platform Truth Social, that the film's production team were “begging me to make a cameo appearance”.
The idea for a third Home Alone movie was revived in the mid-1990s; early drafts called for Macaulay Culkin to reprise the role of Kevin McCallister as a teenager. However, by 1994, Culkin had taken a hiatus from acting. As a result, the idea was reworked, centering on a new cast of characters.
1. Home Alone (1990) The movie that started it all is still hands-down the best. The first film is exciting, funny, and, in an odd way, charming, proving the power of a good story (and a few practical effects).
Home Sweet Home Alone (also known as Home Alone 6) is a 2021 American Christmas comedy film directed by Dan Mazer, written by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell, and starring Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, Archie Yates, Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Pete Holmes, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell with Devin Ratray reprising his role ...

In 1994, Culkin appeared in three films: Getting Even with Dad (1994), The Pagemaster (1994) and Richie Rich (1994). Culkin grew tired of acting and retired after Richie Rich. Wanting a "normal life", he went to a private high school in Manhattan.
"In addition to the expected bumps, bruises, and general pains that you would associate with that particular type of physical humor, I did sustain serious burns to the top of my head during the scene where Harry's hat is set on fire," he said.
His most recent projects include a season of American Horror Story Double Feature: Red Tide, appearing in a couple of episodes of Righteous Gemstones in 2022 and the 2019 movie Changeland, directed and written by his longtime BFF Seth Green, who also co-stars in the project along with Culkin's girlfriend and the mother ...
