I like it because it shows the difference between only caring for yourself and caring for others. I also love how it shows all the crazy things that kids can get into at a fire station, when left alone. Originally, I didn\u2019t understand the title,&nbsp;<em>Playing with Fire,&nbsp;<\/em>because, even though the firefighters rescue people from fires, they don\u2019t \u201cplay with fires\u201d at all in the movie. When I thought about the phrase \u201cplaying with fire\u201d and what it means, it made more sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Playing with Fire<\/em>&nbsp;is about a team\nof specially trained firefighters, called smokejumpers led by Superintendent\nJake \u201cSupe\u201d Carson (John Cena), who saves three kids from a burning log cabin\nusing a helicopter. Since he and his crew are unable to safely deliver the kids\nto their parents due to stormy weather, they take the kids back to the fire\nstation until their parents return. In addition to taking care of the kids,\nJake is also trying to get a promotion. He tries to find time to apply for this\npromotion while the kids are \u201cplaying with fire\u201d or getting into all types of\ntrouble at the fire station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/pwf03404r.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5011\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/pwf03404r.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/pwf03404r.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/pwf03404r.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>L-R: Judy Greer, John Cena, John Leguizamo, Finley Rose Slater, and Christian Convery in PLAYING WITH FIRE from Paramount Pictures. Photo Credit: Doane Gregory.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The protagonist is\nSuperintendent Jake \u201cSupe\u201d Carson. The movie takes place at the smokejumpers\u2019\nbase in Redding,\n  CA. My favorite part\nis when the young boy Will (Christian Convery) accidentally spills\ncleaning powder in the room where Jake\u2019s truck is stored and he tries cleaning\nit up with water from a hose. The room is filled with all these bubbles and he\nis flying around the room with the water hose. One weird part is when \u201cSupe\u201d\nfirst drops from the helicopter to save the kids; he doesn\u2019t have on the\ntypical safety equipment that firefighters wear to help them breathe. He and\nthe kids have an entire conversation in the middle of a burning log cabin and\neveryone is breathing fine in the smoke-filled room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message in the\nmovie is that everyone has a soft side and it\u2019s okay to show it. It\u2019s okay to\nlet your guard down and let people into your world. You never know what you\ncould be missing out on in life if you don\u2019t. Some things adults should look\nout for are characters accidentally drinking lighter fluid and scenes where\nJohn Cena is shown shirtless or in the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Playing with Fire<\/em>&nbsp;is fired up with\nplenty of fun and laughs so I give it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for\nages 8 to 18. Adults may not enjoy the film as much,\nespecially since most of the funniest scenes are in the trailer. <em>Playing\nwith Fire&nbsp;<\/em>releases digitally on January 21 and on DVD\/Blu-ray February\n4, 2020. Look for it. It\u2019s a fun family movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing With Fire  <br>By Eva W., KIDS FIRST!

The whole cast portrays their characters really well and they are hilarious too! Superintendent Jack Carson, head of the smokejumpers, is played by John Cena, a well-known actor and WWE wrestler. Keegan-Michel Key, a famous comedian, plays Lieutenant Mark, a friend of the Superintendent and another smokejumper.&nbsp; Jack\u2019s soft-hearted friend, Rodrigo, is played by John Leguizamo.
