Unaccompanied Minors
Unaccompanied Minors (also known as Grounded in the United Kingdom and Ireland) is a 2006 Christmas comedy film directed by Paul Feig and starring Lewis Black, Wilmer Valderrama, Tyler James Williams, Dyllan Christopher, Brett Kelly, Gia Mantegna, and Quinn Shephard.
The film is inspired by a true story by Susan Burton first told on the public radio show This American Life, under the title In the Event of an Emergency, Put Your Sister in an Upright Position in 2001.
Unaccompanied Minors was released on December 8, 2006, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $21 million against a $25 million budget.
Spencer Davenport and his sister Katherine must fly from California to Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve to spend the holidays with their dad. At their layover at the Midwestern Hoover International Airport, a massive blizzard grounds all planes and cancels all flights, and the siblings are sent to the anarchic UM (unaccompanied minor) room, where they meet Christmas-spirited genius Charlie Goldfinch, surly tomboy Donna Malone, arrogant rich girl Grace Conrad, and mysterious Beef Wellington.
Charlie, Spencer, Beef, Grace, and Donna sneak out, and proceed to enjoy themselves around the airport breaking a lot of the rules. Caught by airport security guards and returned to the UM room, they find the other minors, Katherine included, have been sent to a lodge down the road, and that the grouchy head of passenger relations, Oliver Porter – whose trip to Hawaii was also canceled – intends for the kids to spend Christmas Eve in the UM room. Knowing that it will break Katherine's faith in Santa Claus if she does not receive a present by the next morning, Spencer asks the others to help him get a present for her.
With Spencer's plan, the kids give the friendly clerk watching them, Zach Van Bourke, the slip. Mr. Porter grows desperate to get the kids back, so sends all the airport guards to find them. After Donna and Grace get into a fight, Spencer insists they all put their differences aside and work together, and Beef leaves in search of a Christmas tree. Along the way, he reflects on how his stepfather, Ernie, hoped to make him stronger by saying men are made, not born. Meanwhile, Spencer and Katherine's father tries to drive to the airport in his biodiesel fueled car, which breaks down.
The kids head to a thinly secured exit in the back of the airport, distracting the guards by freeing a dog. Attempting to hide from Mr. Porter in the baggage claim, Charlie climbs into a suitcase which gets placed on a conveyor belt; Donna gets on the conveyor belt herself to follow him. Spencer and Grace follow them to the unclaimed baggage warehouse, where they find many presents, including a set of walkie-talkies, and a doll for Katherine.
After seeing the kids on security cameras, Mr. Porter and the guards chase them through the warehouse. Using a canoe, the kids take Zach captive and sled to the lodge while pursued by the guards, eluding Mr. Porter. While on the elevator, Grace has to remove her contact lenses and put on her glasses, to her embarrassment. Spencer and Grace search for Katherine while Charlie and Donna deal with Mr. Porter, and reunite to find Katherine asleep in the lobby, and place the doll in her arms.
