Playing with Fire-Kids Movie Review
Jake “Supe” Carson (John Cena) says that kids are like tiny wildfires with tiny brains. He thinks they’re unpredictable and destructive. Jake is a second-generation superintendent of an elite California firefighters station known as smoke-jumpers. He follows a rigid schedule and never breaks the rules. However, life changes for Jake when he rescues three siblings from a fire. He decides to care for the kids until their parents claim them. Chaos ensues as Jake tries to cope with the difficult responsibility of taking caring of three kids and managing the station. Playing with Fire is a comedy for the whole family.
