If you had watched Home Alone 2 before the original you would probably have enjoyed it more. Unfortunately for me there is just too many similarities to the original. Obviously the producers were looking to cash in on the enormously popular original and didn't want to sway to far away from what made it a success . But for me there is just too much regurgitation. It does have a few new elements and a few new enjoyable characters and overall the Movie is still a festive fun filled family adventure and no doubt all the elements I have touched on which are direct copies from the first is what probably appeals to younger family members. I have a nostalgia for Home Alone 2 and still watch It each year. But I don't hold it in the same regard as the original and with that in mind, a 6 is the most it can expect.
