The sequel might not be as good as the first film but its still another good adventure from John Hughes. It has pretty much the same cast as the first one except in this second film there is a bizarre cameo from Donald Trump.
It sees Kevin (Macauly Culkin) get on the wrong plane to arrive in New York whilst the family arrive in Florida. It seems like a lucky accident as Kevin is enjoying lovely winter weather whilst the family are in rain soaked Florida. The problem is that the film stretches believeability. With the first one its ok because it must happen all the time when a kid is forgotten in such a big family however for it to happen again is something that can be seen as a stretch.
Don’t get me wrong but there is a lot to like and there is pretty much the same sort of thing in HA2 than in HA1. There is the funny OTT mother who is trying to get to her son who the night before they depart have a massive row. You would have thought that during row number two that they would have stopped for a moment and realised what was going on but no they don’t and thus leads to the convoluted reason why Kevin is in New York.
HA 2 is an enjoyable film and whilst it lives in the shadow of the first one its still a good effort even if it does stretch things a bit. It’s quite right that this cast didn’t appear in the other two HA films because it would have ruined things.
