"The Game Plan" tells the story of rugged superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), whose Boston-based team is chasing a championship. A 'serial bachelor', Kingman is living the u...( read more  read more... )ltimate fantasy: he's rich, famous and the life of the party. But this dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers the 7-year-old daughter (newcomer Madison Pettis) he never knew he had – the product of a last fling before parting years ago with his young wife. Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with the newfound ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), herself without a parental bone in her body. Despite the often hilarious misadventures that come with being a new father, Joe discovers that's there's more to life than money, endorsements and thousands of adoring fans: the love and care of one very special small fan is the only thing that matters.

    OK, this is a sweet film, its very nice, very happy and kids and parents will enjoy it. But its also very cliched, predictable and just like every other sports flick.it looks good, the football scenes are especially good and real looking. The acting is actually good too, Dwayne '...( read more)Rock' Johnson is getting better with his acting and is actually enjoyable to watch these days, he does seem like a nice guy. Madison Pettis is very sweet and cute too, awwww haha. The end is nice and alittle tearful and it does make you feel good, but its soooo cliched haha its nice and better than most similar films, but there are just so many of these, why make more?

    Saw this one the plane last night (without sounds). Predictable and somewhat corny, but not the worst. It actually had a few cute moments and I enjoyed the ballet scenes.

    "Joe Kingman had the perfect game plan to win the championship... but first, he has to tackle one little problem."

    Gridiron Gang star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson picks up the pigskin once again for this sports-themed family comedy concerning a football superstar who abandon...( read more)s the gridiron to answer the call of fatherhood. Joe Kingman (Johnson) was a star quarterback destined for greatness; not only is the Boston-based team he plays for well on their way to the championships, but he's got all the money and fame that a man could want out of life. A perpetual bachelor whose one brief marriage ended many moons ago, Kingman is stunned to learn that a long-forgotten youthful fling had more permanent consequences than he ever anticipated. Now, just as his career is set to blow up bigger than ever, this perpetual bachelor learns that he has a seven-year-old daughter named Peyton (Madison Pettis). So how does a lifelong jock who's used to partying all night and dropping 20-yard bombs all day adjust to a life of ballet classes, Barbie dolls, and afternoon play dates? Whatever road he chooses to take, it certainly won't be easy, especially since his ruthless, goal-oriented agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), would rather see her client scoring touchdowns than cementing familial bonds.

    Review
    Dwayne Johnson isn't the greatest of actors, but let that pass and instead enjoy Madison Pettis who acts very well. The story works, and the way it plays out works. This is a family movie and does what it's supposed to do; entertain the whole family. I'd say you basically get what you expect, nothing more nothing less. It's a cute movie, predictable and sentimental, but sometimes that's perfectly OK!

    I didn't know what to expect coming into this film. On one hand, I usually enjoy football films (even if they're not very good), but on the other hand, I'm really not a fan of Disney movies. It's not that they're bad, they're just more geared towards children. But the Game Pla...( read more)n was a surprise.

    The Rock was amazing, definitely one of his best performances. The storyline was good... the jokes were funny (especially from the guy who played the WR Cooper). The Game Plan is the Feel Good Movie of 2007.

    I wouldn't say this movie is flawless, but it works. It tugs on your emotions (for girls, it tugs HEAVILY on your emotions... my g/f was balling). Roselyn Sanchez was stunning... she is gorgeous. Her and the Rock had great chemistry together.

    It's not the most original movie you will ever see, but it is an endearing little film that will leave you smiling.

    The Rock is a better actor then I have given him credit for in the past, but that's because this movie (the script, directing and continuity) were amazingly effective in this case which is a pleasure to see. It's a great story with great messages about hope and love. Well worth a...( read more) look.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

Apart from a heart-tugging plot twist, some lesson learning and more random football talk, that's about it. Oh, except for the scene in which Kyra Sedgwick farts. Be sure to update your resume, Kyra. full review

I was hooked. While the critic (sounds like cynic) nitpicked the movie's predictable storytelling and comic set-ups, the mother in me sniffled with emotion as the Big Bad Quarterback turned into a slo... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

[Johnson's] quick smile and willingness to play along make him by far the most likable of modern movie muscleheads. He's thus one of the reasons to see The Game Plan. full review

September 28, 2007
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

A remixed version of Elvis's "Rubberneckin'" is an apt credit sequence number, since the movie is itself a similarly trivial, jazzed-up version of a standard. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim

Pure Disney formula stuff (think 'The Pacifier' and 'Three Men And A Baby'). But despite its predictability the movie turns out to be a comic touchdown for The Rock who scores lots of laughs in this w... full review
