They are unbelievably shitty people all around. Buzz embarrassed Kevin in front of the entire school performance but no one gets mad at him. Kevin pushes back and he's irredeemable.

Kevin’s traps in Home Alone 2 are straight up diabolical
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
Kevin wins. Its a wash when it comes to their prepping ability, the main difference is that Kevin is not afraid to kill.
Everyone in that family is terrible. Most people bash uncle Frank for his penny pinching and stealing silver wear off a plane but his homophobia in 2 is something people never mention about him.

Watched the first one last night and the second one right now with the fam. They are both on Disney+ And still both highly entertaining.
Yeah Kev tried his hardest to catch a body throughout the second half of that movie.
He's also disturbingly calm & expressionless when Harry has a gun shoved in his face at the end and there's no reason to believe help is coming. Big Sociopath energy for sure.

Seeing Marv's skeleton in a cinema may have legit traumatised me as a small child.
Everything else was fine.

Something like this could only be written by terrible armchair critics who are to blind to realize Kevin is still a god damn kid. These movies aren't meant to be that deep. It does not matter the family is rich because that's not the point of the movie but good job copy pasting this I guess.
You mean Marv? I thought he was stuck on her purse? I can see why they cut it out though, his comments were definitely out of line. The version I watched the other night cut out Trump's cameo.
Apparently Macaulay's in the sequel/reboot they're currently shooting, so cross your fingers.
Yup, Harry and Marv could have walked away at any time but they never did.
I just saw it in a theater where they must've gotten the current Disney DCP and both slap scenes are still there (in the second one Kevin pinches her butt and she decks the bandits)
Trump too.
Did you forget that Kevin does not exist? This wasn't a damn documentary it was a fictional movie that only came about due to the creative decisions of a number of adults, who made something to be viewed by adults and children. There is absolutely no justification to hand wave away (admittedly tongue in cheek) criticism of the movie's message because "Kevin is still a God damn kid."
I hope you do not believe I actually feel this strongly about Home Alone 2. It's only a bit! I did not actually violate a doctor's order to make that post. It's just for fun.
Thank you Finale Fireworker for the early Beefmas gift of that post <3
yeah he's a kid, and kids fucking suck
I worry about you sometimes. Watch a family-friendly flick like Die Hard.
When they recover my posts from a crime scene I will say your name on the news.
I didn't care for how Kevin's parents just sat there as his entire extended family called him names in the beginning of the first movie. A 40+ year-old, grown-ass man calling an 8-year-old kid a "little jerk" with no pushback smh
I understand the terrible implications now as an adult, but as a kid, it was one of my favorite Christmas movies.
Makes me wish Tecmo made a Home Alone themed successor to Deception.

You want a child to invite a complete stranger into his hotel room to shower?
Don't care what anybody says. Home Alone 2 is the best Home Alone movie.
You are right. This would not be possible as there is a blow up clown in the shower already.
me and a friend made a drinking game out of it once where we took a shot every time we felt one of them should have died. I think we ended up having to stop after 12 and counted twenty something
All based on taking the word of Buzz as to what had happened. Buzz.
Harry never getting hit by a single brick while baiting Kevin to throw more only gets funnier and funnier.
Gonna quote myself from the other thread we had...
Absolute christmas classic, tbh. No christmas without them. Love them, warts and all. Yes, they're absurd and they fall apart mostly if you apply a minimum of critical thought about them, but why would you even do that?
and let me bat for HA2 for a second here, by getting a bit personal (I apologize):
I live in the southern hemisphere, where christmas falls in summer. Up until I was 18, I lived in the northern part of Chile, which has the driest desert on Earth. It rained basically a couple of times a year and each rainfall usually lasted minutes, sometimes even an hour, and that'd be it. The only major difference between winter and summer (essentially the only two seasons over there) was how hot or cold it could get, and that's it.
So imagine a kid who has lived is entire brief life in the middle of the desert and has only known christmases with heat and his town is small and dusty, imagine that kid watching Kevin McAllister get lost in fucking New York City. New York! With skyscrapers that blot out the sun, with an insane amount of christmas decorations, with falling snow! With that amazing toystore (that I later learned didn't even exist ffs) that everyone wanted to visit!
I fell in love with the idea of the place without having visited it. I mean, it's... christmas, you know? It looked like what christmases were supposed to look like, something unattainable where I lived. We usually don't get snow, and clearly we don't get snow in december.
It felt magical. I still dream of spending a christmas in NYC, or, hell, anywhere that's north of the equator and gets snow in december. I don't know if it'll ever happen but, hey, at least I can dream.
So... yeah, HA2 might be a stupid retread, almost beat-by-beat, of the first. I don't care. It gave my childhood a dream, and made me yearn for something I never knew I wanted until I saw it, and that I know is difficult to achieve.

Same. I continue to watch it every December and laugh my ass off every single time. They've been my favorite Christmas movies since I was a child and they still are.
