Unaccompanied Minors is packed with talent in front of and behind the camera, which makes its bland mediocrity even more unforgivable.
Av Club

Feig does wring out a few fleeting fun/heartfelt moments from the minors, and the movies Christmas treacle is smoother than Santa Clause 3s.

Cycles of escape, recapture and punishment ensue, though a climactic infusion of Christmas spirit helps keep results merry.

Great performances from the young cast just cant make up for the overly familiar plot and pre teen excesses of the action.

Undercurrents of racism aside, Unaccompanied Minors isnt terrible, its just predictable.

Brash, annoying juvenile slapstick comedy...Once word gets around, these Minors probably wont be as much unaccompanied as unattended.

If Feig is working below his usual cleverness level here, at least he and the kids seem to be having fun doing it.
