6 of 17

24 Playing with Fire

(#6) This year's worst (intentional) comedy, the family-friendly Fire stars John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key, and John Leguizamo as firefighters suddenly forced to care for a group of young children. Your children are probably too smart to enjoy the result.

“Every wrinkle in the plot is nakedly contrived, an obvious screenplay convenience. Every gag is given away. Every one-liner vanishes into the void. Kids may love projectile poop gags, but even they should be able to smell the odor Playing with Fire puts out there.” —Roger Moore, Movie Nation
