Macaulay Culkin says Home Alone 2 is better than the first

He’s right.

I found it inexcusably cheap and boring

r2 You never saw it.

They're both great, but the "you've been smoochin' behind my back" scene gives the sequel the edge. I could have lived without Brenda Fricker, though.

I like the New York one because Trump is in it.

He's a whore.

And a closet case.

R5 grow up.

Tim Curry alone makes the sequel better

r6 Inaccurate

R6 no he isn’t. Grow up.

As a 90s baby I adored Home Alone 2. It’s one of the first movies I remember watching. I got a Talkboy as a Christmas gift the year after it came out and I loved playing with it. Then I grew up, watched both movies through more discerning adult eyes and realized the truth. The first Home Alone is superior and Home Alone 2 is just a knockoff inside the Plaza hotel. It’s still a good movie and I watch both every Christmas season.

R10 I find the opposite. I first thought the sequel was inferior, but I find it now to be better.

Maybe because the NYC pictured in the film really doesn't exist anymore. It is a wonderful time capsule of a pre-Bloomberg Manhattan.
