How could John Hughes, the greatest filmmaker of all time make such an awful movie? It has absolutely nothing to do with the first movie except that a kid (who is a different character, and is actually extremely unlikeable) sets traps (which are not well thought out or funny) for robbers.(who, unlike Harry and Marv, are given no character at all.) This movie is stupid. They should have stopped at the first Home Alone instead of continuously ruining a good movie.
