Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is now 13. Her father Harry (Dan Aykroyd) and Shelly (Jamie Lee Curtis) are expecting a new baby. She's given a school assignment to write about someone who achieved something and who she's never met. She decides to write about her mother Maggie (Angeline Ball). For spring vacation, she goes to her mother's home town L.A. to stay with uncle Phil. She is assisted by the son of Phil's girlfriend, Nick Zsigmond.
The lost of Macaulay Culkin in the first movie is tough enough. This one sends Vada to L.A. and abandons the rest of the cast. I'm willing to have Vada in her teenage years but I don't understand why she can't stay in her small town. She is essentially disconnected with the first movie. There is almost no point in doing a sequel in this way. The middle of this movie is terribly flat and meandering. The Maggie reveal is very touching but the rest of this is forgettable.
