Playing With Fire

When a macho, uptight, by-the-book, smoke jumper supervisor Jake Carson (John Cena) & his crew rescue 3 siblings from a burning cabin near Redding, California, madcap mischief breaks out at the orderly shipshape station house. This is a fun family film in mold of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Kindergarten Cop“ & Dwayne Johnson’s “The Game Plan”; adults having trouble handling rambunctious kids in a fairly predictable plot. Keegan-Michael Key & John Leguizamo are comedy foils for Cena. Judy Greer plays a scientist/lover interest. A rebellious teenager, a mischievous middle child, & an adorable 3-year-old round out the cast. The humor here is targeted for the younger crowd.

Alien gives it 2½ “US Department of Forestry” stars out of 4.
