"When you look at me, what do you see?" pontificates football star Joe Kingman, then provides the answer: "Greatness." Well, clearly an ego like that needs to be brought down to size--pint-size. The winning family comedy The Game Plan has a whole lot going for it, including star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who's a natural comedic actor (and the camera loves him), and the young actress (Madison Pettis) who plays the daughter he didn't know he had, Peyton. The plot doesn't break much new ground, since many films have mined the territory of the self-indulgent child-adult who suddenly "inherits" a child (from Three Men and a Baby to Baby Boom to Big Daddy to Raising Helen). But thanks to the charismatic performance of Johnson, the film is winsome and uplifting. Johnson's comic timing and straight-man face are spot-on, as is his warm chemistry with the sweet-faced Pettis. Also giving notable performances are the lovely Roselyn Sanchez as Peyton's ballet teacher, and Kyra Sedgwick as Kingman's hard-nosed agent who's aghast at the appearance of an out-of-wedlock child. Children and adults both can enjoy the movie's warm-and-fuzzy moral of making family where you find it--or where it finds you. --A.T. Hurley

Rating: 
- 2 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson showcases the low-key charm that will keep him in the film business for a while, but The Game Plan is so spectacularly unoffensive, unambitious and formulaic that even its well-meaning tone can't make me give it a begrudging recommendation.
Rating: - Irresistable
It's really hard to dislike these types of movies. It's your typical boy becoming a man scenario. Peyton is adorable and their relationship is hilarious. I thought the movie was very cute. Nothing big to dislike about this fun family film.

- Great Movie
It's a very touchy and funny movie. The Rock is totally diferent from the other movies I've ever seen, because he is so big and always fighting, but here he just discover himself as a dad and the little girl put him in lots of interesting situations. I love it!
Rating: - Mistoke Dwayne for Ben Stiller
I own this movie on Pay-Per-View on my Tivo. Like the title says above, when I first saw this movie I thought Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was Ben Stiller from Night at the Mueseum and Madagascar. Madison Pettis is not new to Disney's work. She played Megan on Corey in The House which is still on Disney Channel. Overall a hilarious movie. I am technically reviewing this in preperation of Super Bowl XLIII (or Super Bowl 43). This is good film also for football fans. Unlike myself, I just play at school ... Read More
