Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

Product Description
It's Christmas Eve and a huge blizzard has just shut down the airport, threatening to ruin holiday plans for all stranded travelers. Snowed in en route to their father's house, two "Unaccompanied Minors"--dubbed UMs--Spencer (Dyllan Christopher) and his little sister, Katherine (Dominique Saldana), are ushered to the airport's Unaccompanied Minors Room, a holding cell for dozens of stranded, parent-free kids from all over the country. Caught in the crossfire of projectile cupcakes and juice boxes and desperate to escape, Spencer makes a run for freedom along with four other UMs, who couldn't be more different if they tried: spoiled rich girl Grace (Gina Mantegna), trailer-park tomboy Donna (Quinn Shephard), academic overachiever Charlie (Tyler James Williams) and comic-book geek Timothy Wellington a.k.a. "Beef" (Brett Kelly). With the airport's peevish Passenger Relations Manager Oliver Porter (Lewis Black), his lackey assistant Zach Van Bourke (Wilmer Valderrama) and every airport security guard hot on their trails, this group of UMs from cliques that don't mix learn to ditch their differences and help each other flee the clutches of airport authority. Meanwhile, Katherine and the other UMs have been herded to a nearby hotel to wait out the storm. Determined to reunite with his little sister and fulfill her unspoiled vision of Santa Claus arriving on Christmas morning, Spencer enlists the help of his UM posse. Working together as an unlikely family of their own, they outwit and outrun Oliver and his crew. Plummeting through baggage chutes, rummaging around unclaimed luggage and canoeing down a snow-covered hill, they turn Christmas at the airport into holiday pandemonium and, along the way, prove that the holidays aren't about where you are, but who you're with.

A comedy aimed at the inner kid in all of us, Unaccompanied Minors provides a few laughs and some good acting by its young thespian stars. But the hyuck fest doesn't offer enough substance, or even some so-bad-it's-good vignettes, to hold the viewer's interest for long. The film takes place at an anonymous midwestern airport that has been snowed in. A handful of minors traveling unaccompanied by parents or guardians are left under the supervision of an overworked and easily overwhelmed airport employee (Wilmer Valderrama, That '70s Show). At this airport, terrorism takes a back seat to the trouble caused by these little terrors. The kids are surprisingly good in roles that don't ask them to do much more than be cute, obnoxious, and cute again. Tyler James Williams (Everybody Hates Chris) is particularly engaging as a brainy kid who's got some good dance moves to show off. As for the adult actors, none really stand out except for the Kids in the Hall trio (Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney), whose collective portrayal of bumbling security guards makes you laugh despite your better judgment. --Jae-Ha Kim
