my headcanon as to why marv is a bit dumber then in the first film is probably because of all those head injuries

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slapstick adventure where a clever kid turns a Manhattan mishap into a glorious solo holiday, complete with absurdly inventive booby traps and escalating chaos. It's pure escapist fun with a heart about a boy learning to appreciate his family.

kevin attemps manslaughter:2
I am so conflicted on Home Alone 2 every time I see it.
On one hand, there's some killer dialogue. "He says if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'd grow up never feeling like a real man." And "Two? Make it three, I'm not driving." Literal lol moments.
Then on the other hand, there's basically everything that happens. Tim Curry's character just immediately is like "follow that kid!" Then sneaks into his hotel room, and when he hears the shower, he goes into the bathroom??? When he thinks it's the kid???
The pigeon lady is homeless because she is heartbroken??? And she stays homeless because she's afraid to love again???
Everything at the recital? Clearly Buzz's fault.
But despite those things, I'm still pretty into it until it's booby trap time. Booby trap time is my favorite part of Home Alone but it's somehow the worst part of the sequel.
I always wanted a Talkboy though. Well, a Talkgirl.
One star penalty for the moment when Daniel Stern turns into a skeleton.
