I discovered this one around the time it came out. I liked it, I'm pretty sure someone said:
"What if we took The Breakfast Club and put it in an airport at Christmas?"' And Warner Brothers decided to greenlight it
Not to say that the film is bad. It's not, but it's not particularly good. It has the holiday fun, but the adults are buffoons while the child actors are a contradiction of acting older with their emotional trauma but juvenile with their antics. They ARE kids but it feels contrived.
Characters Spencer and Kathy, Donna and Charlie followed by Grace and Beef (who goes on his own Harpo Marx adventure, though he speaks sparingly. Beef has good comedic timing) I did feel as if those characters actually bonded well and the chemistry between all of them suggests that they had fun working on it.
The adults are a bit cartoonish, you have one character, the Father of Spencer and Kathy who uses a biodiesel fuel car that predictably doesn't react well to the diesel he gets from a gas station
If you want a feel good story, fun cartoonish gags and family fun this is definitely a good contender. It might make you roll your eyes a little bit when it comes to the "action" but it serves its purpose.
Somewhat predictable, a good ride, and all around a fun movie to pass the time.
