Grounded [DVD] [2006] [2007]

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.

YES IT'S A VERY GOOD DVD AND I THINK ANY FAMILY WILL LOVE IT.

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

This is a great feel good Christmas themed family you can happily watch alone or with family / friends.I definitely recommend it.

This could be best described as breakfast club meets home a lone. Have watch it with the kids a number of times and it remains funny and engaging. Becoming a family Christmas favourite.

I love christmas films but this one can be watched at any time of the year. I like watching it with my son. a funny story about loan travelling children who are stranded in an airport on christmas eve they battle the miserable staff and make it a christmas to remember...

Funny.

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