Playing With Fire

Simple kids movie with standard plot and some jokes.

Funny, heartwarming and a fun time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🩷

Playing With Fire - 5/10. Saw this a long while back and I’m surprised I never logged it in. Playing With Fire is John Cena’s attempt at foraying into the family friendly film genre. All the big hulking action stars have done their part in trying to broaden their respective audiences with this type of career move. And though I would say out of all of them Schwarzenegger was the most successful, Cena’s attempt in terms of acting is good, but the overall film is subpar. Playing With Fire feels like a tv movie of sorts, and it plays to a Disney channel level goofiness. Not saying that goofy is bad or not something you should attempt to do in comedy, but here, it just feels a little too childish. There’s some hilarity that ensues with the situation, but overall, its a wacky tale that is designed for fans of Cena and for people that just want a non consequential film to watch!

I thought this was an absolute blast

Idiotic clap trap, hated every minute of it.

This is an overhated film, it's not the best film, but it's a good comedy for kids and parents to enjoy

The film is terribly bad, it disrespects class, the humor is terrible, everything is poorly done, it is literally terrible, it deserves a 0, it is a rotten film that you should never watch

I regret watching this film in theaters.

8.8/10 Hilarious comedy for families to enjoy, perfect family movie night option! I couldn't stop laughing after watching! John Cena was super funny in this film, the rest of the cast was also laugh-on-the-floor funny! Keegan Michael Key and John Leguizamo never got old! The only thing I disliked was the poop jokes.

I paid $2 for my ticket, and it was still too much. It shocks me that in 2023 we are still portraying kids onscreen pointing and firing flare guns and nail guns at adults who have to jump out of the way to avoid grievous injury as HUMOR. Call me a Karen, but I wasn't laughing. And if kids with guns aren't cringey enough, *spoiler alert* you should have seen my face when the children turned out to be orphans, siblings who ran away from their foster homes to avoid being separated. John Cena's amazing advice? "Stop running, kid. You don't want to live with regret." WHAT?! So they should go back to their foster home and get split up and likely abused by a woefully broken system? That's the advice? Stop running?? This movie could not have been any more tone-deaf if it tried.
