About the Movie

Today was supposed to be one of the best days ever for nine-year-old Izzy Rush. But now, on the last day of class before Christmas break, she has been left alone at school. To make matters worse, the biggest blizzard this town has ever seen is blowing and snowing full force. Which is why three bumbling crooks on the lam decide to take shelter in the seemingly empty school. When Izzy discovers that the criminals are holding her friend Ray, the school custodian, she decides it’s up to her to save the day. But what can a nine-year-old girl do? You’d be surprised!

Review

If you are a fan of the Home Alone movies, then Christmas Break-In is a movie you won’t want to miss.  This story finds Izzy forgotten at school on the last day before Christmas Break but she manages to amuse herself while waiting for her parents.  Some thieves break into the school to wait out a blizzard and this is where the hijinks begin.

Izzy is very precocious for 9 years old and she is also obsessed with playing the guitar and has been saving up her money for a Fender guitar.  The day that this all happens, one of her parents is supposed to take her to the store to buy the guitar since it is a one day sale (hence the photo below with Fender Guitar on her parent’s foreheads).  She has a big brother that can be a pain, but he loves his sister all the same and even seeks out to find and help her once he learns she was left at the school by herself.

The movie has many laugh out loud moments and even some very touching parts that make it a winner in my book.  A great movie for the holidays.

We give it 5 paws up.
