I have never been to New York, so perhaps all the sheen still exists for me, but what could be more magical than Christmas in New York.
HOME ALONE 2 LOST IN NEW YORK MY CHRISTMAS TREE MOVIE
What is the first movie is lacking? New York. Again, while I do love the original, Home Alone 2 offers the same antics and basic plot, which may make it unoriginal, but also just as good then when you think of it. Home Alone 2 does only have a rating of 6.6 on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) vs.
This place looks truly magical…magic clearly costs a fortune. Honestly, even as an adult I want to go to this toy store. I mean seriously kill or at least permanently maim. The toy store is donating all their proceeds from Christmas Eve to sick children and when the Beavis and Butthead of the Home Alone world let their plot to steal it slip to Kevin, he must stop them! Apparently with crazy traps that would likely kill people. He has to trick adults, this time the incomparable Tim Curry and Rob Schneider into thinking there is an actual parent around, help a kind but feared stranger to find happiness with others and save something precious from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern – this time the greatest toy store of all time, Duncan’s Toy Chest. To be honest the basic plot of the movie is the same. The President-Elect then makes an 8 second appearance in the movie because he is a famous New YorkĪs the plot unfolds Kevin secures himself a suite at the Plaza Hotel, befriends a kindly homeless women with lots of pigeons as friends and tricks the now ‘sticky bandits’ into falling into his trap once again. I guess that was life in a pre-9/11 America. All Kevin then needs to do is point out generic over-coat man from behind and with no confirmation from an actual adult, he is allowed to board.

He runs into the flight attendant at the gate and all tickets she is holding plus his fall into a pile. The plot device that seems most far-fetched is how Kevin ends up on a plane to New York that he doesn’t have a ticket for. This is an excellent plot device in my opinion because not only does it give a rational reason why Kevin gets confused by which middle aged dude in the generic overcoat to follow, but it also is the reason he is able to survive on his own in New York in the lap of luxury, as the batteries were in his father’s bag…with his wallet. The confusion begins when Kevin is distracted putting batteries in his Talk Boy (as previously mentioned in this blog, invented for and by this movie). I may still be a petulant child inside… However, we do see some growth in Kevin as this time he wakes up in the morning fairly chipper despite the events of the night before and actually makes it to the airport with them. I for one don’t think the socially acceptable yet clearly fake apology Buzz gives should be accepted while Kevin is punished for not wanting to apologize at all for something that really was not his fault. When Kevin retaliates emotionally and pushes Buzz over, not without merit in my opinion, he accidentally dominoes the entire choir off their risers. See below: Also followed by air-drumming and general Tom Foolery.
Specifically Home Alone 2: Lost in New York opens with Kevin McCallister’s (Macaulay Culkin) older brother Buzz ruining his choir solo with his stupid big brother antics. Seeing it from his perspective, of course his family seems a little unreasonable.
I think we all feel for Kevin in both movies. The fantasy of finally having your alone time before inevitably missing people (after you party it up of course) got me deep, even from a very early age. Let me actually defend why this is in my top 10 and most definitely above Home Alone.ĭon’t get me wrong, I also love Home Alone. I mean seriously, look at that tree! But I digress before I even begin. When I was a kid watching this movie I think this scene did me in. I’m opening this with a picture that I feel explains why this movie is one of my favourite Christmas movies of all time. By: JJ Why Christmas in New York is my dream vacation.
