The McCallisters are going on holiday, this time they lose Kevin at the airport and he gets on the wrong plane. His family are in Florida and he is in New York. After going toy shopping, staying in an expensive hotel, and terrorizing the 'wet bandits' in his uncle's empty house, he finds his family at the end. His mother finds him at a Christmas tree and the whole family spends Christmas in New York.
Continuity mistake: In the first film, it is mentioned several times that Kevin is 8 years old. However, in this film it is stated that he is 10. When his parents are in the Miami airport security office, they say that he was left alone last Christmas. That would make him 9. Both films take place the same days, from about three days before Christmas until Christmas morning, so even if Kevin is born around Christmas time this is still a mistake.
Trivia: When Kevin arrives at New York Airport, the woman at the counter who tells him which city he's in is Ally Sheedy. This film was written and produced by John Hughes, who also directed her in the 1985 film "The Breakfast Club."
Question: Why are they all so shocked that Kevin called Frank a cheapskate? He is. He also just practically admitted that he's not paying for this trip?
Answer:Not only was it disrespectful toward his uncle, when a kid Kevin's age says something like that, it is often attributed to overhearing and repeating what adults said. The implication is that Frank would now know what his adult relatives thought of him. They are shocked partly because they are embarrassed and feel guilty.

Answer: I think they are just more shocked with how brazen Kevin is with telling off his uncle.
