Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: parents' guide

Long slapstick stretches: Marv takes four bricks to the head and staples to the nose and rear, and Harry's head catches fire before a kerosene-filled toilet explodes. Both recover instantly. A gangster film Kevin watches shows a bloodless shooting.

Mild overall: one "damn," one "ass," one "crap," God's name misused a few times and an s-word cut off twice. Siblings trade plenty of creative insults such as "trout sniffer."

No sex or nudity. A motel sign advertises adult films, two women who seem to be prostitutes briefly hassle Kevin, Kevin pinches a woman's rear as a prank, and an uncle calls him a "pervert."

A few adults are seen smoking, and Kevin jokes that he will have three scoops of ice cream because he isn't driving. No drunkenness or drug content.

Kevin is alone in the city at night, the burglars chase him and say they mean to kill him, and Harry tries to shoot Kevin and the homeless woman who helps him. The pigeon lady seems scary at first.
