Keegan- Michael Key, left, Finley Rose Slater and John Cena star in the family- comedy “Playing With Fire.”

“PLAYING WITH FIRE”

>> Rated: PG for rude humor, some suggestive material and mild peril.

>> What it’s about: A group of wildland firefighters, or smokejumpers, take in a trio of wayward siblings.

>> The kid attractor factor: A broad, kid-friendly comedy.

>> Good lessons/bad lessons: Relax and just have fun — you’ll be happier.

>> Violence: Some perilous sequences of fire and wilderness rescues, and some pratfalls.

>> Language: No real swearing, but some seriously graphic bathroom humor.

>> Sexuality: References to dating/romance/etc.

>> Drugs: None.

>> Parents advisory: This family comedy is a bit crude in moments. OK for older kids.
