|In the sequel to the first ''Home Alone'', Kevin McCallister is once again accidentally separated from his family while being laid over in New York City and must be self-reliant to survive. He takes advantage of an opportunity to save a children's charity from being robbed by the Wet Bandits from the previous film, using man-made traps against them once more with some modifications. [[Donald Trump]] makes a brief, positive cameo, too, to help Kevin navigate his way through the Plaza Hotel. Family values return as Kevin once again wishes his family away but then misses them. Kate's maternal instinct returns as well because she is determined to find Kevin, even when others tell her there is no hope. Kate once again finds help from a charitable, sympathetic person (in this case, an NYPD officer), who helps her by bringing her to Rockefeller Center, where she finds Kevin. However, it got worse reception than the first film, with most of the criticism being directed towards the fact that it recycles most of the elements of the previous film.

|This action film gets its [[Patriotism|patriotic]] message across, however the directing, screenplay, acting, romance among the three leads, historical accuracy, and bastardization of one of the most horrific, tragic moments in world history for the sake of copying James Cameron's 1997 film ''Titanic'' are questionable. Then again, director Michael Bay does have a history of favoring spectacle over substance most of the time.
