The big difference that makes the sequel worse than the original is its lack of heart. It's just slapstick. It misses the whole sub-plot of the original where little Kevin gets to know the old man next door and learns a lesson about judging people you don't know.
But he meets Donald trump and forgets all that!

Well, it has the exact same subplot, but this time with a scary old lady (the pigeon lady). Not an original idea in the whole movie.
Totally Kafkaesque

Well, it made a ton of money the first time, why not make it again! I'm not even sure I ever saw the second movie. I feel like I must have.
