Grounded

This is my 8 year old daughters favourite film and I found it very reminiscent of the great John Hughes films of the 1980s. It is very good and really entertaining. It's good to see a childrens film that is more about the characters than special effects.The airport setting is well utilised - who wouldn't secretly like to rummage around the fabulous lost luggage mountains and who knew there were emergency equipment rooms like that? Shops, restaurants and cell blocks all play a part. The group of misfit to cool children are literally 'grounded' as their flights home at Christmas have been cancelled due to snow. As unaccompanied minors travelling home from boarding schools, divorced parents etc they create havoc and end up as grounded in the punishment sense but still manage to get the better of the adults.It is fast and funny with entertaining dialogue and a great set of actors. The children are the stars and literally run rings around the adults. There is an intelligent storyline behind all the mayhem too and it's a great Christmas feel good film.Highly recommended for children and for adults who now have pre teen children and liked 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles'. Luckily this film pays hommage to those films and builds on them in 21st century style.

Love the movie for the family

Our son saw this on tv and begged for it to own - it is chaos, mayhem, comedy and a touch of romance all rolled up into a DVD that is also bearable for adults to watch alongside - just!

Yet another formulaic Christmas film, which is fun to watch but filmed on an obvious budget. Fun for a dark cold December evening.

Received the item within the timescale given via e-mail & it came just as described, the packaging was very protective of the dvd & the DVD it's self was in immaculate condition, there was no scratches on the disc and no wear or tear on the case, I very rarely use any other seller as I find the items I purchase from Zoverstock are very much watchable, I've ordered 50+ DVDs from them and I've NEVER had to return or complain about a single one Xxx
