I don't see this being plausible now, because you have to be at airports these days like a couple of hours in advance,
especially if you're doing an international flight. The original, you had to use some suspension of disbelief, but I still don't see how this would work...unless those parents are like Jane's from Daria, nope...couldn't see it working in a modern-day setting.

Well, Kevin became Jigsaw. Are people still running with that theory? lol
Knowing me, I might give that movie a watch for curiosity's sake. I really do want to know how this kid got left behind, how they didn't notice he was missing until getting to Tokyo and I'm not buying that we couldn't get on the same plane thing, either. It's not like years ago where you could walk directly to the gate in the airport because of checkpoints. He should've been noticed after they got to the airport or at least after the checkpoint.
