Avis à la une
I wanted to like this, if only for Danny Glover's sake, but I couldn't - it's bad.
'Christmas Break-In' is a borderline 'Home Alone' rip-off, especially with how it sets up the plot - it kinda goes its own way by the end, even it if still misses originality. It also lacks humour and heart, two things it desperately tries to add to the mix - it's barely a Christmas film, too.
Glover is alright, his character is massively forgettable though. Kid actor Cameron Seely tries her best and is likeable, but she's quite wooden with her performance - not helped by the very poor dialogue. The trio of Douglas Spain, Jake Van Wagoner and Denise Richards are awful - Richards slightly better than the other two, not by much though.
A limp effort, pure and simple.

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.
Like the other reviewers sad this is just a poor copy of home alone. Not bad for background noise but that's about it, it's a cute little story and at least no ones a brat.
Apparently all the mother can do is constantly complain about how cold she is. So if you're stuck watching this have a drink every singe time she mentions how cold she is. You'll either be buzzed enough to find this funny or pass out
The acting of most the adults on this film is as bad as a crime as the original robbery. The plot is tired and used. I cannot say how bad this film was.
