Unaccompanied Minors

[Moviefan02000]

Plot Summary: 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 and his little sister, Katherine, 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, trailer-park tomboy Donna, academic overachiever Charlie and comic-book geek Timothy Wellington a.k.a. "Beef." With the airport's peevish Passenger Relations Manager Oliver Porter, his lackey assistant Zach Van Bourke 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.

*sniff* *sniff*


I smell wait for my local library to carry this on DVD.... Not Netlfix worthy




Saw the 30 second trailer on TV and it looks like something that ABC Family passed on.


And was the original title BRATS?


*turns off sarcasm*

I actually wouldn't mind going to see it if someone I know wanted to check it out. It looks kind of cute and I'm a sucker for Christmas movies.

Wow. What a year for holiday movies. They all look like shit.

The Santa Clause 3 looks shitty. Deck the Halls looks shitty. And this movie looks shitty as well.

I have passes to see an early screening of this movie in a couple of hours. I'm a big fan of Paul Feig, and really like the cast of this flick. I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back.

If you're going to see a movie to get you in the Christmas spirit, go see Happy Feet. It has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas at all, but I guess the snow and atmosphere of the movie started to get me into the spirit a bit.

This movie, looks like absolute shit.

Poor Lewis Black... Stupid TV advertisements annoying the crap out of me when I'm trying to watch my cartoons...
By the way, is it just me or does the lines from the mom in the trailer sound insanely like it was lifted from Home Alone?
