Christmas Break-In

Young Izzy (Cameron Seely) is the unfortunately child who faces constant neglect from her two parents. While her mother (Denise Richards) and father (Sean O'Bryan) get distracted by work, they forget to pick up their daughter from school. Izzy waits around the school unattended and encounters some bandits on the run that take shelter in the school from the blizzard outside.

This would never happen in real life. Even if Izzy wasn't left behind, the school had all its electricity still left on with doors/windows left unlocked. As for the parents.. wow. It wasn't just a once off that they forget about their child, seeing as they mention a few times that they ALWAYS forget about her. Izzy's character would've been better off as an only child, the brothers character offered nothing interesting to the film. He seemed to have a crush on a girl which honestly is the biggest snooze and took no huge impact on the story. Even when he tries to help his sister it's a 20 second moment.

Bless Denis Richards doing B grade Christmas films though

The kid's didn't like how careless the parents are and make up for abandoning their daughter by buying her things. Not a good lesson in this one. (Danny Glover was way too good for this)

I've seen worse Christmas movies and the acting in this one wasn't too bad! Fun, feel good Christmas movie BUT so unbelievably unoriginal. It's basically a Home Alone remake with some tweaks! Home Alone is a Christmas classic...crazy to use the same storyline!

How did this make the cut? An example of terrible writing, uninspired story telling and weak acting. It feels like it was pulled together last minute. Danny Glover must have been desperate to star in this. Also why the Home Alone copy cat, do something original. I'm amazed Netflix added this to their collection, worse promote it.

Better then the average Hallmark film with a decent Netflix cast. It will pass the time during the holiday season.
