Based on a decent book by Stephen King, this movie adaptation falls flat. The cast is loaded with stars and the fire effects were pretty good but the relationship between Andy (Dad) and Charlie (Daughter) was excruciating. Take a drink every time they say "I love you" or share a hug or a kiss and you'll be drunk on the floor. Charlie is only 7 and I know she's been through a lot but the bond between them is constantly reinforced and it doesn't need to be.

Firestarter is a very uneven movie. The pacing lags in places, and makes for some boring sequences. On the upside, David Keith gives a strong performance and Drew Barrymore is outstanding. The ending is awesome, even though the special effects show their age.
