Arrogant Joe mercilessly tells his wide receiver Sanders (solid and charming Morris Chestnut) that he needs to retrieve his "Man Card". He hangs with his player crew (hilarious Hayes MacArthur, Brian White, and Jamal Duff). He parties with supermodel Tatiana (good vapid Kate Nauta). His agent Stella (taut and hilarious Kyra Sedgwick) tells Joe, he is about to make "Tiger Woods money". Joe is rich, good-looking, single, and lives with his bulldog Spike in his mega bachelor pad. The Rock plays Joe Kingman, All-Pro Quarterback for the playoff bound Boston Rebels. Among the interview questions she asks trolling for the desired answer, "What is best thing that ever happened to you?" The initially selfish Joe says that it his limited collectors release of his athletic shoe. Although the audience is a little shaky on Peyton's real story, her mission to know her father (Joe) lands as genuine. She also displays amazing restraint on the whole precociousness little girl deal. Pettis is stellar, not overplaying cute- she just is. His evolving relationship with Peyton is poignant and endearing. As cute and adorable as Madison Pettis is as P, The Rock is never over shadowed. Here in "The Game Plan" he is funny, charming, and charismatic. Note the great CGI work seamlessly covers his tribal tattoos. The Rock is a strikingly handsome man, and standing 6'4" with the ripped body he is imposing. Granted this comedy leverages the incongruity of his physicality and athleticism offset against cute little Peyton "P" and gorgeous Monique. He is incredibly charming and has amazing comedic timing. The Rock is a smart guy, and he is choosing roles with career longevity in mind. For one thing: Action star roles are not very interesting. Film critic Richard Roeper commented that The Rock has squandered the opportunity of being the next huge action star, with his recent roles. "The Game Plan" works, because of The Rock's undeniable charm, and his natural chemistry with Madison Pettis. Sentimental is a given—if you have a problem with that, you need to crawl back under a rock, because the sunshine emerges shamelessly in "The Game Plan". Then in a touching admission, she tells Joe that fathers are important in that they teach daughters courage, and "They make us brave." Director Andy Fickman's "The Game Plan" is surprisingly both touching and sweet. Monique reminds him that women being better anyway, are better at this sort of thing. "The Rock" humbly tells Monique, "Thanks for saving me…" Joe wistfully concedes that he is not at all good at this—being a Dad. "The Rock", crammed in children's chair, is combing out the hair of the doll he made. Roselyn Sanchez as Peyton's ballet instructor Monique arrives to the rescue. In "The Game Plan" after being high-jacked to the mall by his 8 year-old daughter Peyton (adorable Madison Pettis) and her ballerina crew, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Superstar Quarterback Joe Kingman is held captive at a "Make Your Own Doll" shop. The Game Plan is the perfect family film for the season, it's a cute film. Besides if someone can tell me the honest truth that they were not laughing at The Rock's allergic reaction to cinnamon and started speaking like Daffy Duck, they really must not have a funny bone in their body. No one will ever get sick of the "big guy with muscles" trying to relate to the little one's, just look at Kindergarten Cop or The Pacifier, both films were good and have a lot of fans. Like I said, this is a Disney film, don't expect Oscar worthy material, it's just a fun little family flick.

But he ends up gaining something more in the end, a loving daughter to call him "daddy". With his expensive home and party life style, Joe may need to make some changes to his life, as hard as that may be. But all that changes when there's a stranger at the door, a little girl who claims to be his daughter, her name is Peyton and that she's his daughter from a short marriage he had.

His personal life is usual the same each night, party all night with his buds and party all night with the good looking women. Joe is a quarterback on Boston's football team and they are about to go to the championships. The script may not be Oscar material, but it was perfect for a family film and the story while it may not be the most original, still had it's funny and touching moments. We were both very impressed with the little actress, Madison Pettis, who played The Rock's daughter, she was incredibly believable and didn't over do her role or was too cute that it made you sick. I saw The Game Plan with my friend yesterday and we both liked it, we got a few laughs from it and it was over all a well made movie.

OK, I know that The Game Plan was very cheesy and extremely predictable, but who cares? What were people expecting? It's Disney, it's supposed to be this kind of a film.
