Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

A different way of telling a story

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

OK, so on Facebook, I do reviews of forgotten movies/TV shows/books/etc. from my childhood on Throwback Thursday (I go above and beyond), and for Christmas, this was my choice, and it was the perfect choice! Usually on TBT, I have an amazing memory with the movies, but with this movie (since I was reviewing it for Christmas, which is a special time), I decided to check it out from the library, and watch it again, and I was hit with nostalgia.I like this movie. It reminds me of my childhood, when kids movies were just about kids being kids. I miss those days. It reminds me of the days when technological things like cell phones weren't advanced (yet) and all you had was a flip phone. Yeah, before technology controlled our damn lives! This movie is a kid's dream: Just kids trapped in an airport having the time of their lives.I really like the Spencer kid, and how he's so determined to get anything done. These kids have some great chemistry together. I'm also surprised that he has a really nice sister, unlike most things like this, where the sister is an annoying brat.But there are things that I don't like about this movie, like the scenes with Spencer's dad trying to get to his kids. They're not funny, and they drag on. There's no importance to them. I think they should have put these on the deleted scenes for the DVD. The guards aren't really funny, but other than that, I really like this movie.If you're an adult reading this and you're about to watch this, go into it with the mind of a child. Just have fun with this movie. Just think back to the days when you were a kid, just the days when kids weren't focused on stuff like relationships and instead, were focused on being kids.So, with that said, pop this DVD in if you have the chance, and prepare to feel like a kid again! Don't look for Citizen Kane in this movie, just look for a good ol' fashioned kiddy good time!

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 director "Paul Feig" needs to help some kids and older brothers because of the actions. The little girl sorta feels sad at some scenes and she needs to be a little happy, and nobody does not worry about the beginning when she argues about "I don't wanna go!" to the older brother, and the cranky boys need more comedy. I saw this movie on DVD at a sleepover party and what? I like my friend's sleepover party because we like to watch movies, and play games, and eat sacks and a good dinner. We even eat popcorn when we watch a movie just like in the movie theaters. my friend's DVD Player is awesome for a good TV. That's why we like to watch Dvds. We may watch some VHS doing the holidays, or if the movie is good for everybody witch is not on DVD. So this movie could'nt have had better actions, and the composer making good songs for this movie but at least the some songs were pretty nice, but this movie could be fixed a little.

I saw this movie in a theater of sorts and everybody there could not stop laughing! I absolutely loved it and I am very glad I went to see it! The kids in here are ingenious! Absolutely amazing acting and the plot was definitely very strong. During certain parts I just busted up and could not stop laughing. My friends and I were talking about how entertaining and amusing this movie was. I wanted to stay and just keep watching it over and over again. Everybody that I know that saw this said they loved it and they were really surprised at how good it was. The kids and adults were very good at planning schemes, but the kids were definitely better.I think that people of any age can go and see this movie, and they will all leave being glad they saw it.
