Consensus:
Unaccompanied Minors, while featuring credible performances by its mostly young cast, is simply a rehash of other, funnier movies.
Runtime: 90 mins
Synopsis: A Midwest-wide blizzard strands passengers at an airport on Christmas Eve in this family comedy. Security corrals the kids traveling without parents into a large, windowless room. Sans supervision, the area quickly descends into a sugar-fueled LORD OF THE FLIES frenzy, with food fights... [More]

Irresponsible content notwithstanding, it’s the low standard of filmmaking that really defies belief.

'It's like Lord Of The Flies in here!' cries nerdy teen Spencer (Dyllan Christopher) when he sees the film's quarantined crew, which is as clever as Paul Feig's movie gets.

This romp just isn't funny or original enough to become a holiday classic. Although the solid cast makes it watchable.

There are fragments of good comedy packed amidst the many forgettable scenes that you've seen a dozen times before in a dozen other forgettable comedies

Why, and at what point, did Feig choose to ally himself with the bullies of the world and substitute broad stereotype for insight into character?

Unexpectedly warm and huggable, and far funnier than you'd ever guess... one of the wittiest, most endearing holiday films in recent memory.

Designed only for the youngest of children, who might be roused by the silly action, or perhaps for John Hughes, who might delight in the fact that his influence continues to color the landscape.

Feig's sympathies toward young misfits are still thankfully evident, but the mature, realistic approach that made 'Freaks and Geeks' so refreshing is missing here.

It's clear very early on that Warner Bros. wanted less a thoughtful film about divorce or coming of age than a chipper family pick-me-up. And thus we have Unaccompanied Minors, which is one-third heart and two-thirds cheese.

Produzido para funcionar como comédia leve e divertida, Menores Desacompanhados só conseguiu me deixar de mau humor.

Why is the Christmas message in "family movies" repeatedly reduced to splats, farts, bruises, and winky-wink sex jokes?

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

A ghastly rip-off of the John Hughes genre, "Unaccompanied Minors" is so awful that it should be accompanied by a warning: May insult your intelligence. Proceed at your own risk.
