  Feig does wring out a few fleeting fun/heartfelt moments from the minors, and the movie's Christmas treacle is smoother than "Santa Clause 3's." But anyone old enough to go see this without a parent or guardian will have seen it all before.

  Not for the faint of heart, the movie is unsettling and startlingly true to life. At least that's how it seemed to me. To the minors I happened to be accompanying, it seemed to be reasonably good fun.
