There is no way on earth they would lose Kevin again


I mean come on. After forgetting him in the first movie, they would make sure that he was on the place. Maybe his mom would even tie him on a leash. After forgetting him the first time, they would be extra careful with him.

It thought the same when they announced a second "home alone".

But I give the writers credit. They pretty much covered the bases to the point where suspension of disbelief would allow us to buy the circumstance that he would get on the wrong plane during the melee at the airport. Even though he wasn't left "home alone", he was left behind.

The only thing I would have done was to write the opening a bit different. I would still have the power go out, the digital clocks flashing, but just when we think the same "over slept" situation caused the confusion as in the first movie, a vintage mechanical alarm clock wakes them up. Aha! They covered that base!

But the transport buses get caught on the highway in a backup caused by a truck jack knife, and they are late to the airport.

Mayhem then ensues on cue..

Yup. They need to get rid of the movie for good.

It's like Murder She Wrote. How many times could someone realistically randomly encounter a murder victim?

Remember the old TV series "Ripcord" with Ken Curtis? The writers had to come up with a situation in every episode to give them a reason to jump out of an airplane.
