John Cena has the charm, but the movie belongs on a streaming service. February 12, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. January 9, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

[A]fter a promising start, Playing with Fire loses its way, with the story getting stuck in schmaltz and the life lessons checklist as rigidly enforced as any health and safety directive from helicopter parents. December 31, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There is an OK movie trapped in here. It needs someone to helicopter in and lift it out. December 30, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

One of those disappointing films where the end-credit out-takes are probably the best bit. December 30, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This is comfort cinema, undemanding and fully predictable as it veers from fake suspense in action sequences to riotously artificial comedy in extended buffoonery. December 30, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

It turns out that sluggishly edited shots of big men pushing trolleys and buying plush toys is not, in fact, an adequate replacement for writing some funny lines. December 29, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Because there's nothing funnier than seeing a man trying to look after a child. Especially a man with muscles. December 27, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

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. December 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It lacks a big movie star and bigger laughs, and the script does not have the depth needed to pull off this film. There's one thing for certain. You'll stay in your seat, but you won't be happy with the time you've spent in the theater. December 27, 2019 | Full Review…

The jokes are awful, and there's way too much ensemble mugging, but a heartwarming message almost won me over. December 26, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Playing With Fire as a whole is a sweet-natured, charming comedy that definitely has a warm heart, but it's Cena who - metaphorically rather than literally, of course - keeps the fire burning. December 24, 2019 | Full Review…
