Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' is an American comedy directed by Chris Columbus and written by John Hughes. It is the sequel of the popular 'Home Alone', and also starrs Macaulay Culkin.

The action takes us once again to the McCallister's household, which in this occasion is preparing a trip to spend Christmas in Miami. Kevin (Culkin) is not convinced to travel to a tropical climate in this special time of the year, and it let his parents know. In the end, Kevin ends up grounded after making a scene in the school play, although his older brother Buzz was the one to blame.

The day of the trip, the family oversleeps again and arrive late to the airport. In a moment of confusion, Kevin separates from his parents and ends up boarding a flight to New York, where he lands alone. There, he uses his father's credit card to stay at the luxurious Plaza Hotel before trying to visit one of his uncles, the only relative he has in the city.

On the other hand, Harry and Marv, the dangerous thieves of the first movie, have escaped prison and are now on the loose in New York City, where they accidentally meet Kevin once again. When Kevin arrives to his uncle's house he finds a mansion in renovation where nobody is living. Kevin then uses the empty house to fill it with traps to catch Harry and Marv one more time.

The movie was a big box office hit at the time, grossing more than 359 million dollars worldwide for a budget of 28 millions. Even after being released at the end of the year, it finished as the third most grossing film of 1992, only behind 'Aladdin' and 'The Bodyguard'.
