‘Christmas Break-In’ is a 2018 film that revolves around a feisty 9-year-old girl fighting some goons seeking refuge from a snowstorm in her school. The plot follows Izzy, a precocious and poised 9-year-old who gets stuck in school on the last day before Christmas break begins because her forgetful parents did not pick her up on time, and now there is a snowstorm that’s getting worse by the minute. Soon, Izzy realizes that there are some robbers inside the school.
She gets worried upon learning that they have her friend Ray (a wise guitar-playing janitor) tied up. Therefore, Izzy decides it’s up to her to save the day. So she sets about pranking the robbers in hilarious ways. Directed by Michael Kampa, this ‘Home Alone’ clone stars Danny Glover, Cameron Seely, Katrina Begin, and Denise Richards in lead roles.
