Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

Had never heard of this when I first saw it, 2010 maybe? So had low expectations which may have helped set me up for a pleasant surprise. The kids except one or two seem(ed) unfamiliar but all were quite good, and the large number of rather famous adults (maybe more so now then in 2007?) were entertaining surprises as opposed to jarring distractions for the most part. And I thought the movie had a low key kind of realism(?) coupled with a rather kinetic visual style that gave the main part of the film a driving energy. I laughed a few times out loud and thought the movie hit all the right notes and few if any wrong notes. Certainly a little crazier than Hallmark/Ion/Lifetime Holiday fare but slightly less than Christmas Vacation (though some similarities exist!). Very good, relatively light hearted -kid centered- Christmas story.

Elf, A Christmas Story, and Unaccompanied Minors. This is easily on of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. It's a funny, family-orientated, and feel good Christmas movie. The film revolves around four kids stuck in an airport on Christmas Eve. They get into crazy antics during their stay. Sort of juvenile but that's one of the reasons I love it so much. Some may argue this movie is only for the younger crowd. Being out of that crowd for a while, I disagree. I enjoy this movie very much. If you are looking for a movie to get you in the Christmas mood, or just to have a good laugh, then this is the movie for you. A great family holiday film I highly recommend.

the movie grounded was typicall of it's movie contestants,it defined most meanings and explored all emotions possible to explore.the main thing i liked about the movie is that it represents most common kids and i have to say the acting was spectacular,i mean absolutely fascinating but all in all i have to be serious and give the movie a chilling average 7 out of 10 because the movie is not eye cathing and in many terms great but i do admit as a child myself i am overwhelmed with words to this comment. i especially liked the bonding scenes and the promises that were fully successful and many made the overall movie have a happy ending i do contest with anyone who calls this movie a waste of time because i do not understand how? but it was clearly sad but happy and truly shocked me with the comedetic scenes and lines etc to finalise my compliment to this movie grounded i bid you a due and only advise you to watch the movie.

It was a decent movie nothing excellent but viewable. The story is based on real childhood experiences from writer Susan Burton, but it makes me very difficult to believe that a bunch of pre-teens do that kind of things. The plot was kinda weak and undeveloped. the cast has decent acting, all performances were good but the best one in my opinion comes from Tyler James Williams. Wilmer Valderrama's performance was so unconvincing and disappointing, its like watching him in his role of Fez but working in an airport and Lewis Black as the movie villain was good. In conclusion, this movie is dull but enjoyable to watch it on a boring weekend.
