Mark (Keegan-Michael Key) tries to temper Brynn’s sarcasm with hilarious rounds of bickering. Rodrigo (John Leguizamo) connects with his inner child while misquoting numerous famous people. In the meantime, the three kids, but especially little Zoey, worm their way into the hearts of the smokejumpers. Brynn has looked after her younger siblings for over a month but she knows the gig is up because Jake is obliged to call Child Protective Services.īrianna Hildebrand, Christian Convery, and Finley Rose Slater in 'Playing With Fire' (Paramount)

The thing is, these tough guys don’t know what to do with the millennial intrusion into their well-ordered routine.īrynn (Brianna Hildebrand), Will (Christian Convery), and Zoey (Finley Rose Slater) claim that their parents are on a trip but they’re really orphans living off the grid so they won’t get split up by the foster care system. When he and his team rescue three kids from a burning cabin, they are obliged by law to take care of the kids until their parents can be located. As Superintendent Jake “Supe” Carson (John Cena) makes clear, he and his fellows at the Redding, California house are smokejumpers, not firefighters. “Playing with Fire” isn’t about firemen and women at all. And, having spent a good deal of my childhood hanging around a fire station (although there was no pole to slide down), I know the kind of trouble kids can get in when left to their own devices in a fire house. I’m the daughter of a firefighter and so I love seeing movies that feature my Dad’s profession.
