When straight-laced fire superintendent Jake Carson and his elite team of firefighters come to the rescue of three siblings, they quickly realize that no amount of training could prepare them for their most challenging job yet -- babysitting. As their lives, jobs and depot get turned upside down, the three men soon learn that children -- much like fires -- are wild and unpredictable.

There is an OK movie trapped in here. It needs someone to helicopter in and lift it out.

3/5

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.

Playing With Fire is relatively inoffensive, but this four-men-and-three-babies spin borders on tedious.

Playing with Fire isn't a great movie but it's good, clean fun.
