Our Take on Playing with Fire
The Home Alone-like humor and mishaps in this movie will give preteens big laughs. And as is true of many kids’ comedies these days, viewers can expect some potty humor and other themes that ride the line when it comes to being kid-appropriate. Overall, it should be an okay option for preteens, but we recommend you watch it with your kids.
