A handful of kids stranded without their parents is determined to make the most of a bad situation in this comedy. It's Christmas Eve, and Oliver Porter (Lewis Black), the passenger relations manager ... read more read more...at a busy airport in the Midwest, is looking forward to spending Christmas in Hawaii with his wife after 15 years in a row working on the busy Yuletide holiday. However, fate conspires against him when a massive snowstorm sweeps in and all flights are canceled. Porter suddenly has to deal with a number of stranded passengers, including six tween-age kids who are each flying unaccompanied from one divorced parent to another -- spoiled little rich girl Grace (Gina Mantegna), geeky but likable Spencer (Dyllan Christopher), his pesky little sister Katy (Dominique Saldana), plus-size comic book fan Beef (Brett Kelly), grumpy tomboy Donna (Quinn Shephard), and bright but mischievous Charlie (Tyler James Williams). With his hands full and determined to make his way to the islands, Porter puts his assistant Zach Van Bourke (Wilmer Valderrama) in charge of the kids. Zach doesn't care for this assignment and the kids don't care for him, and before long they've escaped from the basement conference room where he's stashed them and turned the airport into their playground. Unaccompanied Minors also features Paget Brewster, Rob Corddry and Teri Garr. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Good for a kids film, but if your not into that sort of thing, then don't even bother to watch the opening credits!

    "Six kids, snowbound in an airport without supervision. Someone please call security!

    A snowstorm has cancelled all flights at Hoover International, and all are stranded. That's bad news for most. But for children shuttling unaccompanied from one place to another, its a ti... read morecket for adventure!"

    Warning! Unless you want yourself and the kids to go to sleep, stay away from this!

    I know its a kids film... But I thought this was just flat out lame. I was expecting to watch clean fun chaos, but this had no originality, no interesting kiddie escapades, an insult to every rich girl there is, and please dont tell me parents these days let their kids have that "Jon Bon Jovi" hairstyle! --- If theres any consolation to watching this, you get to see Wilmer Valderrama (Fez, That 70's Show) on screen again, but he just plays a character that goes in and out of the movie, and even his lines were weak and recycled. Theres also a couple of dancing scenes where Tyler James Williams (kid from Everybody Hates Chris) shows off his funky side, but other than that.. There really isnt much to get from this flick.


    It really is just a kids version of The Breakfast Club IN The Terminal, except... those two movies were atleast good. Youre better off watching something else.

    Now if you would excuse me, I have to whap my head for getting this thing...

    I love this funny Christmas family movie in the airport I ever watched since Home Alone series. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene of 4 kids and a flight attendent riding in a canoe on a snow hill from the airport to the hotel while the head of Passenger Relations and h... read moreis security guards are also on after them. COOL!

    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 dece... read morent 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 dissapointing, its like watching him in his role of Fez but working in an airport and Lewis Black as the movie villian was good.
    In conclusion, this movie is dull but enjoyable to watch it on a boring weekend.

    It was okay. A lot of cheesy acting and a stupid script but still... we got some laughs.

    Twice as funny as Deck the Halls. That is, I laughed twice.

    Based on a This American Life story. The real story was true and interesting. This could have been any other cheesy kids versus bumbling adults movie that has been made since Home Alone 1 & 2 did it well for possibly the first and last time.

Most Saturday morning cartoons are more realistic, and actually funnier. Full Review

Not for the faint of heart, the movie is unsettling and startlingly true to life.

Unaccompanied Minors may not be the worst holiday comedy ever made, but frankly I can't think of something from that genre that sinks lower than this frighteningly bad movie. Full Review

If you really must find something to distract your children from Christmas shopping and material yearning, this one gets top recommendation for happily occupying 90 minutes at the mall. Full Review

A noisy, not particularly charming collection of skits and skirmishes.

It's a holiday farce in a minor key, suitable for the not-ready-for-PG-13 crowd, too boring for anybody else. Full Review

There's some amusing mischief as the underage passengers outsmart the grownups, but the picture also features mean-spirited stereotypes that kill the festive mood. Talk about holiday blahs. Full Review

A lot of crotches get abused in the kiddie comedy Unaccompanied Minors. And as a viewer, I felt a lot like a crotch.

Unaccompanied Minors is a Christmas headache looking for an audience. Full Review
