Most Saturday morning cartoons are more realistic, and actually funnier.

Unaccompanied Minors is packed with talent in front of and behind the camera, which makes its bland mediocrity even more unforgivable.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club

Not for the faint of heart, the movie is unsettling and startlingly true to life.
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Rotten
Unaccompanied Minors may not be the worst holiday comedy ever made, but frankly I can't think of something from that genre that sinks lower than this frighteningly bad movie.
