Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

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.

The airport is snowed in, and all flights are canceled. All the unaccompanied minors are rounded up and put in a locked room. Wilmer Valderrama tries and fails to control the rambunctious lot. Five kids (Tyler James Williams, Dyllan Christopher, Brett Kelly, Gia Mantegna, Quinn Shephard) escape and run rampant.The four main kid leads are perfectly likable with good chemistry. This could have been 'The Breakfast Club' lite. I think director Paul Feig is trying for that feeling. But the script doesn't have it. Lewis Black is way too outlandish as a villain. There is way too much childishness. Unlike 'The Breakfast Club', this doesn't have the insightfulness or the relevance. And bringing out 'The Kids in the Hall' make no difference at all. It could have been so much better.

It's not a masterpiece, it's not pretending it is, but it's fairly well written, with good characters for leads and the actors give their share, like good actors do when they're given good roles to act. It avoids almost entirely cartoonish characters, restricting them to the third or even fourth tiers. In fact the movie surprises with some unexpected depth at moments were a cheesy joke would've been easier. Very little slapstick, limited to specific scenes which call for some physical humor. And apart from some excess saccharine and cliché at moments, there's some solid story telling here, which I always appreciate. The two leading kids Gia (Gina) Mantegnia and Dylan Christopher got the looks and the talent to be going places if they just conduct themselves right. Lewis Black takes a cartoon villain and makes him human, and Paget Brewster and Teri Garr present some lovely background cartoons that complete a surprisingly nice movie.

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.

Let's see... Biodiesel bad, Hummer good. Yeah, right. I'm sure there's tons more but that one really was blatant (and just incredibly wrong!) Plot: Thin as new ice. Acting: Decent enough for what it is (Christmas story, straight to video)... In fact the only reason I'm watching this POS is that it's Christmas Day and this has made the HBO Christmas Crap List. Lewis Black was OK as the Big Bad Mean Man... I'm still waiting for that Movie that really fits Lewis (as, I expect, is he). Fez, from That 70's Show, plays the Good Cop to Lewis's Bad. Fez is incredibly bland. I had to look who was playing the part up (Fez has gotten larger since the 70's, lol). The Kid's were cute at times and the gags were sometimes funny. The 'Chase Scenes' are way overdone (the sled scene in particular). There's a few insider cool scenes with The Kids In The Hall crew, but they are brief and few. Give the show a mark up for little in the way of Fart Jokes. Fart Jokes are just not cool, mmk? Well, that about covers it. The Kids outsmart the Adults. Look for this in your Holday Discount DVD Bin at Walmart next Christmas. Oh yeah, there's some modern bands playing Christmas songs. Bleh. I guess I'm just a Grinch, oh well.
