To me, this movie is perfection.
So much average
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
This movie is an amazing movie for kids and adults alike. The Rock shines as a wanna be football player who's also a parent of a young kid. There's lot of charm and humor and Disney shines!!!
Joe Kingman (Dwayne Johnson) is big star quarterback, and unabashed bachelor. One day, little girl Peyton Kelly (Madison Pettis) comes and tells him that she's his daughter. His world is immediately turned upside down.It's a sit-com with sit-com level acting. It's desperate to get the sit-com laughs. All that's missing is the sit-com laugh track. The little girl has the charisma and the big personality. And it helps that she has a passing resemblance to The Rock. But neither she nor The Rock is terribly lovable in this movie.The idea that the little girl is so casually left to her own devices is very far fetched. It seems that all the adults are relatively nonchalant with checking the girl's story. Joe should be moving heaven and earth to track down the mother. And Paige Turco's character must have some adult supervision when the little girl gets to her destination. The whole thing is too flimsy.The final drive in the football game is wrong. It makes no sense. It's just a quick and dirty way to finish the movie. Sense has long gone from the movie. It's a weak sit-com premise. The leads are charming by themselves but none of the jokes work. It's a harmless family movie that'll be quickly forgotten.
This movie is not brilliant, nor is it terrible.It's just one of many decent family movies: Entertaining and fun for all ages.The storyline is pretty easy to predict and the movie has all standard elements for a 'buddy'-movie, but watching the though and cool Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson humiliate himself is very funny :) I liked this movie for what it was (a decent, but standard family movie) and I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to view a nice movie with the whole family or grab some popcorn and watch the movie with your partner to forget the everyday stress.
The Game Plan is a rather silly movie about an arrogant football player who learns he has a daughter. Stupid concept, right? Right. The movie gets dumber and dumber. In the end, the kid gets an allergic reaction to peanuts and almost dies, but doesn't so The Rock gets custody of her and marries her ballet teacher. This movie was just very stupid, and set towards girls age 5 and up. You can tell that The Rock was put in the movie so families weren't totally turned off by it, which was sneaky and didn't work. I just do not like this movie, and don't think it deserves a lot of critical praise.3/10
