Playing with Fire (out Dec 12) is the tale of a smoke jumper crew who reluctantly care for 3 kids rescued in a fire. It's an over-the-top, nonsensical family flick that struggles to find humour from a tricky subject matter (the negligence of children). Home Alone had charm. This is just dumb. Grade: C.
