    Remember it's a kids movie

    It's a Nickelodeon movie so I wont be too stiff. I'm a fan of Cena, Key, Leguizamo, Mane and Greer. It's a decent cast. And they were good together. The acting is over the top, it's a kids movie. Even the shenanigans are over the top. My main issue is that it just went too long. John Cena would be a fantastic fireman of smoke jumper.
