Movie Pick: Firefighters Try Their Hand at Babysitting in Playing with Fire

An elite team of firefighters led by John Cena rescues three kids who prove hard to handle in Playing with Fire. Barn-broad humor runs through this family-friendly drama written by Dan Ewen and Matt Lieberman and directed by Andy Fickman. Keegan-Michael Key and John Leguizamo provide ample comic support. The film was set for a March release, but Paramount bumped up the date to take Sonic the Hedgehog's original slot.

Also opening Friday, November 8: Good Girls Get High; Honey Boy; The Kingmaker; Mickey and the Bear; Racetime; Sunday Girl; Shakira in Concert: El Dorado World Tour.
