SnoopyStyle 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.
Thomas Gifford Had never heard of this when I first saw it, 2010 maybe? So had low expectations which may have helped set me up for a pleasant surprise. The kids except one or two seem(ed) unfamiliar but all were quite good, and the large number of rather famous adults (maybe more so now then in 2007?) were entertaining surprises as opposed to jarring distractions for the most part. And I thought the movie had a low key kind of realism(?) coupled with a rather kinetic visual style that gave the main part of the film a driving energy. I laughed a few times out loud and thought the movie hit all the right notes and few if any wrong notes. Certainly a little crazier than Hallmark/Ion/Lifetime Holiday fare but slightly less than Christmas Vacation (though some similarities exist!). Very good, relatively light hearted -kid centered- Christmas story.
kill-the-boxtrolls The director "Paul Feig" needs to help some kids and older brothers because of the actions. The little girl sorta feels sad at some scenes and she needs to be a little happy, and nobody does not worry about the beginning when she argues about "I don't wanna go!" to the older brother, and the cranky boys need more comedy. I saw this movie on DVD at a sleepover party and what? I like my friend's sleepover party because we like to watch movies, and play games, and eat sacks and a good dinner. We even eat popcorn when we watch a movie just like in the movie theaters. my friend's DVD Player is awesome for a good TV. That's why we like to watch Dvds. We may watch some VHS doing the holidays, or if the movie is good for everybody witch is not on DVD. So this movie could'nt have had better actions, and the composer making good songs for this movie but at least the some songs were pretty nice, but this movie could be fixed a little.
bob362 the movie grounded was typicall of it's movie contestants,it defined most meanings and explored all emotions possible to explore.the main thing i liked about the movie is that it represents most common kids and i have to say the acting was spectacular,i mean absolutely fascinating but all in all i have to be serious and give the movie a chilling average 7 out of 10 because the movie is not eye cathing and in many terms great but i do admit as a child myself i am overwhelmed with words to this comment. i especially liked the bonding scenes and the promises that were fully successful and many made the overall movie have a happy ending i do contest with anyone who calls this movie a waste of time because i do not understand how? but it was clearly sad but happy and truly shocked me with the comedetic scenes and lines etc to finalise my compliment to this movie grounded i bid you a due and only advise you to watch the movie.
