I wanted to like this, if only for Danny Glover's sake, but I couldn't - it's bad. <em>'Christmas Break-In'</em> is a borderline <em>'Home Alone'</em> 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.
