Synopsis: Kevin's family rushes to the airport ... without him. He has to subsist on his own but a pair of thieves have targeted his neighborhood and he's not about to take it lying down.
Reaction: This is a fine movie, though there is no real need to keep making more. Not Shakespeare, but good family fun.
Personal Rating: 7/10 |
