First time watching HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK | Movie Reaction!

[@bluebear1985]

10:25 To answer your question, that man actually owned the Plaza Hotel at the time. I believe he allowed the filmmakers to shoot in there on the condition that he had a cameo in the film. This was when he was still known for owning a bunch of hotels, casinos, and condos, rather than, uh... what he's become today.

[@HalcyonEX]

Yeah now he is the savior of America

25:30 - I've been shot with a staple gun in the shoulder, when I was a kid. It bloody hurt...and the nurse had quite a time pulling it out, but after a few minutes of pain and some disinfectant, it was fine. On a lighter note, Marv getting electrocuted is one of the finest pieces of acting I've seen - great job Daniel Stern!

[@alancoy5305]

Addie, glad you reacted to this one. My favorite scene was Marv turning into a skeleton, hilarious!😅😅. Marv, yelling heroically "NEVER" answering Kevin back about pain is my favorite line. The reason a 46 year old Donald Trump made a Cameo at The Plaza Hotel is because he owned The Plaza when this film was shot in 1992. He said that they could shoot the film there on the lone condition that he have a cameo. The carpet that He and Macauley were walking on was put down by the studio. Trump liked the carpet so much that he kept it permanently at The Plaza. My favorite parts of this film are Tim Curry and Rob Schneider as The concierge. Rob brings the wit and Curry brings great poise and determination. Both did great acting performances in this film. They actually seemed to work well together. Too bad they never did another project together. Even though the people and family is different, I recommend Home Alone 3 (1997). Still a very funny film. Great reaction Addie!

[@thedrewsephYT]

Little known fact: The McAlester family lost one family member between movies. The daughter who said “You're what the French call les incompenent.” She is the only cast member from the family in the first movie who didn’t return for the sequel.

[@christianwise637]

Obviously it doesn't hold a candle to the first film, but I still think this is a really fun film and a pretty good follow-up. Honestly, it's worth watching for three big reasons in my opinion: 1) The traps being way more violent and brutal, like I think I can confidently say that both of them should've died MULTIPLE times over the course of this film, but the exaggerated violence also makes it kind of funnier I feel. 2) John Williams' score is legitimately great once again; I know "Somewhere in my Memory" and "Setting the Trap" are both iconic pieces, but I do have to give a shout-out to "Christmas Star", such a beautiful piece that I listen to every single year. 3) Tim Curry - honestly you could disregard the other two points and just have this as the main reason to watch Home Alone 2, he steals every scene he's in and is just hilarious; the cross-fade of the Grinch's evil grin to him pulling a near-identical smug smirk is priceless.
