Leave your thoughts about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittAlthough it's slavishly similar to the original Home Alone, which was a colossal hit, this sequel has lots of color and Christmas warmth to recommend it. |
| TimeRichard SchickelAn uncynical sequel that actually deserves its assured success. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonBetter would have been excellent. But, let's face it, better is pretty much irrelevant. Mac takes care of that. Mac takes care of everything. The kid's the biggest child actor since Shirley Temple. |

While some Scrooge-ish adults may niggle that this sequel is merely a superimposition of the original, kids will be delighted by its keeping all their favorite goodies. |
| VarietyBrian LowryThe studio has simply re-made the first movie, only with bigger pratfalls. |
| Common Sense MediaColette DeDonatoAs a sequel, the movie manages to be funny, if predictable, and occasionally borders on heart-warming. |
| EmpireMark SalisburyLess a sequel, more a virtual remake of Home Alone, this "John Hughes production" follows the same route as its money-spinning predecessor, wheeling out the well-worn precocious-kid-on-his-todd scenario with scant regard for originality. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonLess a sequel, more a virtual remake of Home Alone, this "John Hughes production" follows the same route as its money-spinning predecessor, wheeling out the well-worn precocious-kid-on-his-todd scenario with scant regard for originality. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonFilmmakers John Hughes and Chris Columbus go for repetition over comedy. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarHere, the signs of Culkin’s limitations begin to emerge. |
