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.
As they used to say in Mad magazine: yecch.
This might matter if we had been encouraged to care more about the kids' fate, but the script is so bad that you care instead about the actors and their vain efforts to do something with its cliches.
I was actually pleasantly surprised. This is, yes, for very young kids, but everyone has put a lot of care into it.
Will kids care about this man's career or that he is bad at dating? Nobody will.
"Playing With Fire" is harmless fodder that doesn't deliver much but doesn't ask much either. It's the kind of fire that puts itself out.
