I feel like the only reason this film was released now is that Paramount was like "Shit, we delayed the Sonic movie to February, we need something to fill in that slot." and this film was the perfect fit
Damn Brad is playing favoritism on the Walkers. He brought Doug to movies that they both find decent (Maleficient 2, Terminator Dark Fate, Dr. Sleep) while Rob gets all the torture movies.
@@GlassesnMouthplates Maleficent 2 was decent, it had Jolie, Pfeife and Fanning's performance making it at least watchable. Dark Fate...... from what I've heard, is a ball of fire to a once amzing franchise. Doctor Sleep is also very good.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but knowing the guy with the axe is played by the same actor as Michael Myers almost makes this dumpster fire of a movie tolerable. I actually cracked up when he randomly started singing an operatic rendition of the My Little Pony theme song because I’d been picturing Michael onscreen for the first hour while trying to entertain myself!
my Cinemark just gave up with Arctic Dogs and gave it like a 11:00 AM screening. For my theater, we got Jojo Rabbit but no Lighthouse or Motherless Brooklyn
It's practically written the ancient text that every Wrestler who goes into acting has to star in some dumb kids film , it happened with Hulk Hogan , The Rock , and now of course John cena.
Sounds SO awful! I can't see firemen freaking out over the smell of dirty diapers, considering they've probably smelled far worse things like burnt plastic and charred flesh.
I don't know why Hollywood is still doing this lame "big muscular guy has to take care of kids" trope. It was dumb even when Arnold did it in Kindergarten Cop, and has just gotten more and more cliche. At this point we should have a parody of it. Where the guy tries to take care of the kids, but because of the dangerous nature of the situation they keep dying horribly.
@@blaisetelfer8499 The screenwriter is dumb. I'm 18 and I don't even know if I could come up with writing so terrifically awful. Maleficent 2 is a better movie than this.

I feel bad for firefighters. I mean the cops get Cop Land, Beverly Hills Cop, End of Watch, Training Day, and so on. Meanwhile the firefighters get Playing With Fire, Planes Fire and Rescue, and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
I love reviews of questionable problematic movies. No one sets out to make a deliberately bad movie (except Studios trying to hold onto IP), but I always look forward to a Brad and company take on said movies. Bliss!
I remember seeing the trailer awhile back and I thought it was gonna be a Super Troopers/Reno 911! type comedy but with firefighters until I saw the Nickelodeon logo...
And the thing I hate about these kind of kid's films is these asshole writers and executives make them with the mindset of "Oh, well, since it's a kid's movie, we don't need to put in any effort." And I constantly think of this quote from C.S. Lewis I've heard that says "Any children's story that is *only* enjoyed by children is NOT a good children's story in the slightest". So, whenever some idiot defends a bad movie by saying it's just a kid's movie, I take that as you're saying the movie has an excuse to suck.
It's common for family movies to downplay the intensity of certain situations, but there's a believability limit. If you're that afraid of how young viewers will react, then take said situation out of the script. In PLAYING WITH FIRE, we see siblings Brynn, Will & Zoey in danger on 2 different occasions. Not only they look mildly scared during them, but there are also no shreds of trauma after they're saved by smokejumper Jake Carson. He and his colleagues Mark Rogers, Rodrigo Torres and Axe have to temporarily take care of them. You know the deal: The kids are chaotic and the adults get hurt. There's a moment early on where I thought "I think that this character isn't telling the truth, even though the movie isn't presenting it that way. That means the lie will be revealed as a plot twist in the last part of the movie." Was I right? Yes and no. The twist actually arrives at the halfway point. This is also the point where it becomes a completely different movie. The focus switches from the smokejumpers learning how to babysit to the 2Gen gang helping Jake in the dating world. It's definitely less painful to watch, but I can't forgive such inconsistency. Aside from being a bad way to structure a plot, one has to think about those that do enjoy seeing kids take over while adults suffer. They choose to watch a movie like these, but they only get half of what they wanted. They'll get bored once the slapstick gags cease. This 2nd half is also phony. The characters act like they've already bonded, even though they barely know each other and they've had nothing but unpleasant experiences together until this point. I don't understand how old the kids are supposed to be. Brynn is played by 23-year-old Brianna Hildebrand. OK, tons of actors in their 20s play teenagers, right? Well, high schoolers. Jake at first thinks Brynn is 8. I know it's a joke to show how little he knows about the subject, but even then it can only make sense if she's 13 tops. And Zoey is referred to as a baby, even though she's clearly not a 1-year-old. You might be thinking that she's a toddler and therefore "baby" is an approximation, but I can't even call her that. She wears pants and walks around on her own. Without getting into spoilers, both of them wear a certain outfit at one point and it matches. That's usually done with sisters when their age difference is supposed to be around 5 years. Suuuuure. Since the movie takes place in mostly 1 location (which isn't that big), you'd think that it would be easy for the adults to always keep the kids in sight, thereby preventing each (unfunny) disaster. They don't. In fact, there's a moment in the last part where they sneak out of a room and there's no explanation as to how none of the adults noticed. The performances aren't bad, but Andy Hickman's directing is bad and Dean Semler's cinematography is butt-ugly. Just look at the lighting and the weird camera angles. I can't believe I payed attention to such an insignificant details, but it just sticks out: Keegan-Michael Key is almost always standing behind John Cena. A couple of times it's on purpose (to make a joke where he pops up out of nowhere), but most of the time it's not. Read into that whichever way you want. The most prominent running gag is that Mark, Rodrigo and Axe end up liking MY LITTLE PONY. Scriptwriters Dan Ewen and Matt Lieberman are trying to prove that they know the difference between something that's only kids of a certain age like while kids of another age feel like they're passed that stage. They're encouraging viewers to laugh at these fictional grown men for liking something targeted at little girls... even though they exist in real life. From what I've read, they're actually a big fandom that stopped being mocked a while ago, since their love for the show is sincere and deep. This joke might've worked if said fandom had been acknowledged. Instead, these writers are showing that they're the grown men who should be laughed at (for being out-of-touch). The opening scene shows the smokejumpers in action... and Mark Ronson's UPTOWN FUNK is playing in the background. I know that placing songs in scenes that don't fit isn't rare, but it's usually a single that has been popular for less than a year. This one was came out 5 years before this movie's release, so it doesn't even work as a pandering strategy. There's another scene where Jake is filling out an application online. Before he can finish it, he shows the kids where they'll sleep. We then see him going to sleep. The next morning, Brynn asks him about said job while looking at the computer. So he left it on all night? Wouldn't it have shut down automatically? Even if it was turned back on off-screen, would it show the same website? With the same fields already filled? Speaking of, when Jake wakes up, he hits his head on the bed above his and the whole bunk bed falls apart. Were there loose screws or something? Even so, how was he able to lie on it for several hours without nothing bad happening? 1/10
Nickelodeon continues its own well-deserved extinction in the eyes of... Geeky/Nerdy ones everywhere. Everyone else with sense is too busy waiting for the latest Oscar Bait to overshadow this BS, honestly.
Hey, just do Midway a midnight screenings when your here in GR. We have two theaters in GR, both with bus routes straight from devos to the theaters, although they're only 15 minutes drive at most too
Devos?!? As in the Hag of Holland?!?! Nah, I already knew that the family is big in that part of MI, & while my family dropped my sister off @ the airport there, I refuse to visit that city/county, at least until after November 4th of next year (fingers crossed).
Cut to me screaming at my computer "It's Bushwhacked!!!!" as Brad starts to say what it reminds him of. Now you're morally obligated to do a Snob review for this movie, complete with the Bushwhacked fever stingers :D Thanks for watching shitty movies so we don't have to!
love these reviews! love the fact that you bring different people :) Off topic: the non-american in me cringes every time you pull up the mega cup to drink, is that soda?
It bugs me when these kind of movies resort to sitcom jokes. Not jokes you'd get on Seinfeld or Arrested Development. It feels like the writers of Full House worked on this.
Why is John Cena doing this crap? He should be accepting a big fat check from Marvel Studios and combining both their ability to rake in children's money.
It's interesting that you brought up Instant Family, because this movie reminded me of some sort of lame, off brand version of that, especially in the 2nd half.
No this is something we have missed since Game Plan or something like that seems like. I’m not sure whether to be proud for owning it, because I haven’t seen it again.
This movie was apparently a stop gap by Paramount to fill the hole in their schedule left by Sonic the Hedgehog needing "reworking" so best i can figure they probably slapped this thing together in the hopes they could get SOME money from this date after Sonic's less than stellar trailer debut.
TGIF? I'd say given the production company, Nickelodeon used their completely talentless kiddy sitcom writing and directing staff. I'm really hoping you'll consider this for a Snob episode in a year or two.
I thought that especially how both movies featured a scene of the guy/one of the guys having to clean himself after getting so much "mess" on him down to even scrubbing his mouth out with a brush that is not usually used for one's mouth
To my honest opinion, BOTH instant family and playing with fire are really bad, but it improved a little bit. First of, when it comes to the two movies, the kids are a type of what i call, "Cursed Trio." The only similar thing about the little girls is that they both have a EARSPLITTING scream. And the only differences the boys and the teenage girls is that in the foster family movie the boy "accidentally" DESTROYS stuff, and the teenage girl shouts and yells angrily at the poor parents, but in the fire movie, the boy is mischievous (like any child in the world.) And the teenage girl is respectful to the firefighters. So the only problem is the little girl. And, I know im not the only one and i know I am off topic, but has anyone else sick of tired of the whole "screaming breaks glass" shtick that has been around for years? I have. And I don't think it's possible that girls shrieking at the top of their lungs can physically break glass at will. So what your opinions on the movie? Let me know.
@@chasehedges6775 Hopefully her, and the rest of the cast have better movies after. Heh, Cena was probably thinking "Please don't let Doolittle suck" while filming this...
Chase Hedges I honestly didn't mind Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that much. I mean, it's not the best one, but for the course of the movies, it's still fun. I like the attempt at a more suspenseful thriller, and the acting from everyone was fine.
I saw the trailer and it looked incredibly annoying, except for Tyler Mane, who looked delightfully weird. It sounds like the actual movie lived up to my trailer expectations.
My dad’s taking me to see this movie. He’ll probably love it: it sounds like just the right level of bad, stupid comedy he’d be into. As for me...well at least it’s only 96 minutes.
Chase Hedges In case you needed more confirmation to NOT see Playing with Fire, I saw it today. The only things I even remotely enjoyed were the running gag where John Leguizamo’s character butchers famous quotes (yes, the bar is set that low in this movie) and the guy with the axe. Seriously, this film is almost tolerable if you imagine that’s Michael Myers- the absurdity of him breaking out into an operatic rendition of the My Little Pony theme song seriously made me crack up. That said, this film is stupid. And boring. And every “tough men get stuck watching kids” movie cliche in the book.
@@chasehedges6775 IKR?! I admit there was one or two jokes I saw that got a laugh from me. But overall the movie looks boring and should have gone right to DVD instead

Weirdest thing I noticed about the TV ads for the film. At no time do they identify any of the actors in it.
These vids with Doug and Rob are fun and all. But I feel like I missed something. Is the old crew on vacation or something?
Poor Brianna Hildebrand. From Deadpool to this. Hope this is just a blemish on her career.
Rob, the reason why John cena looks so unreal is because the studio is trying to get around the fact that you can’t actually see him
And with his Next trick, John Cena will make his dignity disappear. Oh wait. He did that a few tricks ago. He needs new material.
John Cena will be fine. He is working with James Gunn on The Suicide Squad. Hopefully some real comedy can come out of that.

TGIF? I'd say given the production company, Nickelodeon used their completely talentless kiddy sitcom writing and directing staff. I'm really hoping you'll consider this for a Snob episode in a year or two.
If you look up the little girl on IMDb, he description says that she is an actor, KNOWN FOR PLAYING WITH FIRE. 😂😂😂
Who’s the better wrestler in a movie?
Roddy Piper- They Live
Jesse Ventura- Predator
The firefighter episode from King of the Hill was funnier than this movie.
That episode is a classic and it's hilarious
King of the Hill is just funnier than this movie in general.
I was lucky to go to an advance screening of this movie for free at a theater near me. Had I paid for this crap, I would have felt robbed.
How fitting that IGN is the only media outlet to give this a positive review.
Even by modern day IGN standards that’s just...dumb even one takes into account kids movie standards
Remember this day, this movie, and remember when 90 nostalgia began.😔😒😩
BUSHWHACKED?! Oh no.
Btw, enjoy your time out here!
So it's the pacifier if the guy was a firefighter instead of a navy seal
I thought that especially how both movies featured a scene of the guy/one of the guys having to clean himself after getting so much "mess" on him down to even scrubbing his mouth out with a brush that is not usually used for one's mouth
To my honest opinion, BOTH instant family and playing with fire are really bad, but it improved a little bit.
First of, when it comes to the two movies, the kids are a type of what i call, "Cursed Trio." The only similar thing about the little girls is that they both have a EARSPLITTING scream. And the only differences the boys and the teenage girls is that in the foster family movie the boy "accidentally" DESTROYS stuff, and the teenage girl shouts and yells angrily at the poor parents, but in the fire movie, the boy is mischievous (like any child in the world.) And the teenage girl is respectful to the firefighters. So the only problem is the little girl. And, I know im not the only one and i know I am off topic, but has anyone else sick of tired of the whole "screaming breaks glass" shtick that has been around for years? I have. And I don't think it's possible that girls shrieking at the top of their lungs can physically break glass at will. So what your opinions on the movie? Let me know.
I saw the movie in the trailer. The movie is just 90 mins of constant bad jokes. No plot just a bunch of kids acting stupid.
Wanna watch real firefighters? Watch Fire Force!
Or Chicago Fire.
Hell, I'd rather watch the Bruckheimer produced, John Travolta/Joaquin Phoenix drama Ladder 49 than this
Those are good ones too.
@@filmfanaticx4212 There's actually a good Travolta film on Amazon Prime called Poison Rose.
It's actually pretty decent.
@@chasehedges6775 I'll check it out. I've been meaning to just marathon as many of Travolta's recent movies as I can... God help me...
So... An absolute waste of talent of everyone involved (especially Keegan Michael Key)... Got it...
Especially John Cena and Brianna Hilderbrang.
That's a crime against God.
It's especially bad for Brianna because she was in the Deadpool movie.
@@chasehedges6775 Hopefully her, and the rest of the cast have better movies after. Heh, Cena was probably thinking "Please don't let Doolittle suck" while filming this...
@@filmfanaticx4212 I agree. By the way, did you like the girl who played Maisie in Jurassic world. She was adorable. Loved her acting
Chase Hedges I honestly didn't mind Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that much. I mean, it's not the best one, but for the course of the movies, it's still fun. I like the attempt at a more suspenseful thriller, and the acting from everyone was fine.
I saw the trailer and it looked incredibly annoying, except for Tyler Mane, who looked delightfully weird. It sounds like the actual movie lived up to my trailer expectations.
What is it with Judy Greer starring in bad movies?
It's not even funny.
But who am I kidding, she'll star in anything, to be fair.
Chase Hedges She has been in good movies like Ant-Man and it’s sequel.
@@jamesmoyner7499 Jurrasic World, too. I see your point. Still, this is a vile waste of her time and talent.
So ‘ Only the Brave' kids addition
If nothing else at least you can say John cena bounced back with the suicide squad and peacemaker show. It’s like his version of Ryan Reynolds.
wolverine joke was hilarious though
My dad’s taking me to see this movie. He’ll probably love it: it sounds like just the right level of bad, stupid comedy he’d be into. As for me...well at least it’s only 96 minutes.
Your comment is making sure I never see this film. Thank you for warning me.
Also, when you get done, go
Frozen 2, a much better movie than this.
Chase Hedges I didn’t like the first Frozen, but I guarantee I’ll enjoy Frozen 2 more than Playing with Fire.
@@morgangobin9985 I love Frozen 1 and I can't wait to see Frozen 2.
It looks fantastic.
Chase Hedges In case you needed more confirmation to NOT see Playing with Fire, I saw it today. The only things I even remotely enjoyed were the running gag where John Leguizamo’s character butchers famous quotes (yes, the bar is set that low in this movie) and the guy with the axe. Seriously, this film is almost tolerable if you imagine that’s Michael Myers- the absurdity of him breaking out into an operatic rendition of the My Little Pony theme song seriously made me crack up. That said, this film is stupid. And boring. And every “tough men get stuck watching kids” movie cliche in the book.
@@morgangobin9985 Thanks. Frozen 2 it is!
By the way, what did you think of Isabella Sermon in Jurrasic World Fallen Kingdom?
So the Dog is the Black guy from Samurai Cop.
Do you wanna fuq me?
Cut to Black guy reaction.
Uptown Funk you up!!
I kept saying this movie looks like it belonged on Nickelodeon. A great cast in a wasted generic family film
Poor John Cena and Brianna Hilderbrang.
She was in Deadpool! Deadpool!
They deserve better
@@chasehedges6775 IKR?! I admit there was one or two jokes I saw that got a laugh from me. But overall the movie looks boring and should have gone right to DVD instead
It was one the funniest movies I seen in a month
Ho partecipato al set
I might be stupid but this movie did actually make me laugh as well. But i will admit i basically turned my brain off.
Can’t tell if intentional attempts at him seein bad movies all in a row lol
Id rather play with fire than see this film.
Much like the 2010 Clash of the Titans remake, the cinematography looks flat and bland, just like a TV show or made-for-TV movie.
