Less flash, more grit, The Order of the Phoenix is definitely the most introspective of the Harry Potter movies. If you’re expecting fast-paced wizardry action at every turn, however, you might be disappointed.

While it doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, Unaccompanied Minors is at least decent, harmless, heart-warming fun. It’s also a surefire way to keep the kiddies smiling and occupied this pre-Christmas.

They are Jake and Elwood with more head-banging, Wayne and Garth with less mugging, Cheech and Chong with a slightly weaker stash, the Brokeback cowboys with a more platonic take on man-love... They are Tenacious D, and they’re the stars of the second funniest film of 2006.
