Critic Reviews

  • Anna Smith, Time Out

    Johnson's amiable performance makes this watchable for the target audience; namely sporty daddies and spoiled little girls primed to assimilate their lives into the Disney brand.

  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

    Please: No Game Plan 2.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    It's what I like to call an amnesia movie. Six months from now, if someone asks me about The Game Plan, I'll be hard-pressed to remember what it's about or who's in it.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    Generic to the point where it might be called Sport-Themed Disney Girly Movie All Rights Reserved.

  • Ted Fry, Seattle Times

    As polished and innocuous as a spin around the park on Dumbo.

    A cute movie that was a lot of fun that had me and my daughters giggling all night. Good family fun.

    I knew this movie was terrible the first time I saw it, but I needed to see it a 2nd time on (what else?!) but ABC Family (Don't ask why I watched it) to realize how horribly wrong this movie went. Let's start with the Rock's new, and absolutely NOT improved, style.… More
