Playing with Fire

"Playing With Fire is a good natured load of old rubbish that the kids mostly laughed along with. If that sounds like a recommendation to you, then have at it."

"The cast are so willing to put their egos aside -- like a children's party clown on their last resort -- that it's easy to be won over by all the goodwill on show."

"As they used to say in Mad magazine: yecch."

"Comedians John Leguizamo and Keegan-Michael Key work so hard at trying to pump some energy into the Supe's fellow smoke-jumpers that you fear for their health."

"A series of wacky antics with little concern for continuity, logic or pacing."

"Haven't firefighters had it hard enough this fall?"

"Despite the novel setting, the director Andy Fickman has made a visually flat film. The editing is frequently awkward, clunkily overemphasising physical gags, and lingering too long on the actors as they try to light up dusty material."

"Cena may be the first bodybuilder-turned-actor who has what Arnold Schwarzenegger had: the ability to project a mocking light soul trapped in a musclehead's body."
