“Christmas Break-In” (** out of four) was a silly children’s romp about a precocious 9-year old (Cameron Seely) whose parents can’t pick her up on time at school for Christmas break in the midst of an overwhelming blizzard so it is up to her to save the day when a pair of bumbling crooks (Katrina Begin and Sean O’Bryan) break into the school and kidnap the kindly school janitor (Danny Glover). The kind of children’s movie which gives the word contrivance a bad name but young girls may like it anyway. Glover and Seely try to inject as much charm as they can but suffice to say this is no “Home Alone.”
