1. He Makes Good Movies

John Cena’s fall flick, Playing with Fire, plays well with the whole family. It’s legit one of those rare finds that will entertain your entire entourage. Even grandma! This one is a crowd pleaser.

2. He’s Both Sweet AND Rugged

Enough said.

3. He’s Good with Kids

In Playing with Fire, Cena’s not exactly “manny” material, but, along with his fireman crew John Leguizamo and Keegan-Michael Key, he learns the hard way that babysitting is no joke – cue chaos and lots of things getting wrecked and broken. Always fun to see when it’s not happening to your own property! Storylines with pets, fire trucks and surprise babysitters never get old. Amirite?

4. He’s Your Ticket to a Break from the Bustle

Holidays are upon us and well, let’s just all agree it’s not the most relaxing time of year – unless you are lucky enough to be headed to the beach. If that is you, fine, I’m jealous. For the rest of us sweating at a mall or at a recital or at work, a dark theater with comfy seats is our own little first class ticket to paradise. Bring it on, John!

5. Cena’s Fails are Fun

While Cena plays a heroic fireman, he is also taking on the caregiver role in all it’s unglamorous glory. He’s dealing with everything from kid messes, teen eye rolls, to toddler farts. A crew of men navigating the imperfect mess that is raising kids might just be the best thing we have “Cena” in a long time. Get it? Cena? Now go see it.
