Unaccompanied Minors

Unaccompanied Minors (2006) is a Christmas family comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Paul Feig. Christmas Eve at Hoover International Airport: a blizzard shuts down every runway, every gate, and every departure board. Five kids travelling alone are officially stuck.

The airport's by-the-book manager — Lewis Black, playing someone who views children as a natural disaster — wants them locked in the unaccompanied minors room until further notice. Spencer, Charlie, Grace, Beef, and Donna have other ideas. They slip out and turn the entire airport into their personal obstacle course, with a sympathetic gate agent played by Wilmer Valderrama who gets pulled along for the ride. Tyler James Williams, Dyllan Christopher, Brett Kelly, Gia Mantegna, and Quinn Shephard make a genuinely likeable group that carries the screwball energy through every chase scene. Sharp-eyed viewers will spot B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling in early roles before The Office made them famous.

Feig directed this several years before Bridesmaids, and the controlled chaos of airport logistics suits his comedy style well. Watch Unaccompanied Minors (2006) online on iFILM.
