Playing With Fire (2019)
Director: Andy Fickman. 1hr 36mins/96mins. (PG)
Comedy
Synopsis
Superintendant Jake ‘Supe’ Carson (John Cena) is the rugged, super macho head of a group of Californian Smoke Jumpers – specialised teams who rescue people trapped in forest fires – and he runs a tight ship.
But the order and calm of his beloved depot in the hills is brought crashing around his ears when his team pick up three young children who were trapped in their burning home.
Unused to dealing with anything other than flames and smoke and talking to anyone other than Smoke Jumpers, Jake is knocked sideways by the kids’ rambunctious larks as they treat the depot like a new playground.
Review, by @Reelreviewer
You'd think a movie that threatens to combine Home Alone style physical comedy, cute kids and burly fireman would have you rolling in the aisles.
Think again because the trailer to this movie features all of the decent laughs that are on offer...and that's not saying much.
What the full feature does reveal - going to great attempts, in fact - is star John Cena's commendably muscled body, far more than one would expect in a family oriented movie.
