AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

slimer8489 OK, so on Facebook, I do reviews of forgotten movies/TV shows/books/etc. from my childhood on Throwback Thursday (I go above and beyond), and for Christmas, this was my choice, and it was the perfect choice! Usually on TBT, I have an amazing memory with the movies, but with this movie (since I was reviewing it for Christmas, which is a special time), I decided to check it out from the library, and watch it again, and I was hit with nostalgia.I like this movie. It reminds me of my childhood, when kids movies were just about kids being kids. I miss those days. It reminds me of the days when technological things like cell phones weren't advanced (yet) and all you had was a flip phone. Yeah, before technology controlled our damn lives! This movie is a kid's dream: Just kids trapped in an airport having the time of their lives.I really like the Spencer kid, and how he's so determined to get anything done. These kids have some great chemistry together. I'm also surprised that he has a really nice sister, unlike most things like this, where the sister is an annoying brat.But there are things that I don't like about this movie, like the scenes with Spencer's dad trying to get to his kids. They're not funny, and they drag on. There's no importance to them. I think they should have put these on the deleted scenes for the DVD. The guards aren't really funny, but other than that, I really like this movie.If you're an adult reading this and you're about to watch this, go into it with the mind of a child. Just have fun with this movie. Just think back to the days when you were a kid, just the days when kids weren't focused on stuff like relationships and instead, were focused on being kids.So, with that said, pop this DVD in if you have the chance, and prepare to feel like a kid again! Don't look for Citizen Kane in this movie, just look for a good ol' fashioned kiddy good time!

tedg Few things are more deterministic than kiddie genres, and therefore few things less interesting. One of the things I notice in these, going back before John Hughes, is how the world of kids is divided up. Here there are 5 or six types, depending on how you count. Its extremely important that you recognize these are the right types in order for all else to work. What's new — or seems new — are two character types. One is the black kid, who other than a jive number, plays a type that is more deeply human than racial. Its a notable evolution.The other is that the "rich girl" is not only sympathetic without changing, but she's lovely. To play what I think are supposed to be 12 year olds, they chose a darling 16 year old. She looks a lot like Anna Popplewell, that 20 year old playing a 14 year old in Narnia 2. Its the same general type as Scarlett Johansonn: full lips and full cheeks. Also Ann Hathaway.I do not think this is a trivial evolution. It seems that we are well into an era where women's and girls' screen faces are meant to communicate with lips only rather than full faces, or eyes as it once was. Renee Zellweger and Julia Roberts are probably the first big names who practice this style of acting exclusively. I'm not sure what it means. And I'm not sure what it means to merge this ideal with the supposedly spoiled rich girl. But it seems significant, a significant reshuffling of archetypes.It accompanies a more obvious shift. These are all kids from some sort of dysfunctional family. The usual style would be to have parents. If you were missing one, it was because they died. Then the parents could be virtually absent by simply being too dumb to matter. Its more theatrical to show absence by having partial absence. So this all seems significant, even though the movie, well its a waste.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

shadowzen-1 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.
