An American football star's life-of-plenty changes overnight when he meets the daughter he never knew existed. Superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) has a bachelor lifestyle the envy of every male he knows. With a luxury apartment, money no object, and his team heading for the championship, life is looking good for Joe. But when his unknown seven year-old daughter, Peyton (Madison Pettis), turns up on his doorstep, he soon realises that his life is about to change forever. Trying to come to terms with his new-found responsibilities, Joe's attempts to do the right thing aren't helped by his ambitious agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), who'll do anything to keep him at the top of his game. (Disney / Buena Vista)

This is not a movie, this is a weapon of mass destruction! I'd love to write that The Rock is such a likable guy that he could elevate even the worst movie, but unfortunately only part of that is true. He is really talented and incredibly likeable (and improving as an actor), but he could not save this screenwriting crap. It's a textbook of the most embarrassing clichés, where if you think of anything you've seen a hundred times before and don't like so much (which Red Dwarf parodies with gusto), it will be there. Nothing works here, the logic, the situational humour or The Rock's cute grimaces. The writers' strike in the flesh. These are the kind of "family movies" that are making big bucks in the United States today.

Almost every single action star of the present day has been in some cutesy and positive Disney movie from the starry-eyed world of perfect people. The Rock couldn’t be an exception, and so after Walking Tall, he decided to visit the world of family movies in The Game Plan. And it’s not that bad. The whole American football environment somehow suits Dwayne. But what definitely doesn’t suit him is how relatively teeny he used to be a few years ago compared to how he looks now; and he was pretty jacked back then, too. But The Game Plan is okay. It isn’t amazing, but it isn’t that bad and compared to other movies with action heroes, it’s pretty fun to watch.

Great family comedy with the wonderful Rock and the adorable Madison Pettis. I laughed and cried too. Nice stuff (furnishings, etc.), which was nice to look at. The final dance was divine!

A sports star who lives like an eternal bachelor - well, actually, he's still quite young - discovers he has an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. The premise is a bit cliché, but there's not much that can be done about that. This is Disney, too. The Rock in the main role is the only highlight that I saw in this movie. It's pretty clear from the start how this is going to play out. First surprise, then rejection, but finally acceptance. Plus, of course, some highly emotional moments. It's a nice family movie, but this time it definitely doesn't meet the above-average standard for me.
