Unaccompanied Minors movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: A film that's funny and entertaining for kids and adults and does not involve moronic warring neighbors. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: It's a prefab slapstick-'n'-pathos stew that doesn't taste like anything. Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: How do you defang and declaw caustic standup comic and commentator Lewis Black? Stick him in a PG-rated holiday family movie, then stand back and watch the laughs not pile up. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: Most of the comedy consists of one-liners and wacky slapstick. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Filmmaker Paul Feig has proven his creativity directing The Office and Freaks and Geeks (which he created). With Unaccompanied Minors, he piles on one unfunny gag after another, leaving little room for character development. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Most Saturday morning cartoons are more realistic, and actually funnier. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A Christmas lump of coal. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Unaccompanied Minors is packed with talent in front of and behind the camera, which makes its bland mediocrity even more unforgivable. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Nothing more than Home Alone in an airport. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: A clumsily made but disarming enough movie about the joys of getting away with everything. Read more
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly: Anyone old enough to go see this without a parent or guardian will have seen it all before. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Though [director] Feig has said he was aiming for the spirit of films by John Landis (Animal House), Unaccompanied Minors more closely resembles the lesser movies of director-producer John Hughes. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Why bother suffering through 90 minutes of bad company for a few moments of holiday cheer? Especially when you can still stay home alone and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas somewhere on TV. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: The dialogue is truly painful. The situations are so contrived they make "SpongeBob" seem like a nature documentary. But what's more annoying about Minors, is the calculation behind it. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: 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. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Unaccompanied Minors is a Christmas headache looking for an audience. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's a holiday farce in a minor key, suitable for the not-ready-for-PG-13 crowd, too boring for anybody else. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Though it doesn't reek of originality, Unaccompanied Minors manages to keep familiar routines entertaining and find fresh ways to revive the laughs fossilized inside old gags. Read more
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times: 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. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: 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. Read more
Derek Adams, Time Out: Irresponsible content notwithstanding, it's the low standard of filmmaking that really defies belief. Read more
Variety: Cycles of escape, recapture and punishment ensue, though a climactic infusion of Christmas spirit helps keep results merry. Read more
Luke Y. Thompson, Village Voice: Anyone who has ever actually been stuck in a terminal with rowdy youngsters will not likely choose to pay money to revisit that experience on-screen. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A gently toned but ultimately trifling caper. Read more
