adonis98-743-186503 An NFL quarterback living the bachelor lifestyle discovers that he has an 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. The Game Plan is another great Family film for the whole family and works thanks to The Rock's and Madison Petti's chemistry that is adorable, dramatic and hilarious when it needs to be plus the film sends some great messages about Parenting and loving your kids and being there for them which is the classic Disney Magic as always. (10/10)
SanteeFats This is a pretty funny movie. I like the fact that Dwayne Johnson is secure enough that he can play a role like this. After all how often do you see a macho hero type like him in a pink tutu? Madison Pettis is a treat as the unknown daughter that just shows up on Johnson's doorstep. A daughter he did not know he had. The humor and jokes are really good. The all pro football star quarterback who is a bit conceited to say the least actually starts to grow as a person when he must take care of this unexpected present. He starts to learn about parental responsibility and how to interact with someone who is not a woman looking for a one night stand or a man especially a pro athlete. When his daughter has peanuts and has an allergic reaction things hit the fan and he finally grows all the way up. I like this movie.
Jackson Booth-Millard I has seen a few films starring the former wrestler turned movie star, apart from The Mummy Returns and Welcome to the Jungle, most had been terrible, but I gave this one a chance, from director Andy Fickman (She's the Man). Basically NFL football quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) is a star on the pitch, a single bachelor, and a little self centred with love for Elvis Presley, but more for himself. His life is about to change when little eight year old Peyton Kelly (Madison Pettis) comes knocking on his door, and tells him that she is his daughter from a marriage to Sara (Kathryn Fiore) that ended years ago, and has a birth certificate to prove it. As he tries to get used to the concept of having a long lost daughter, he reveals her to the press and public, but his agent Stella Peck (Kyra Sedgwick) thinks this revelation is going to be a distraction for both his image and game play. After clearing his image, Andy goes along with Peyton to a ballet class run by the gorgeous Monique Vasquez (Rush Hour 2's Roselyn Sanchez), and practising some moves for a stage performance, which he originally refuses, they really bond. After a disagreement and forgiveness, Andy gets to hang out more with Monique and they bond well too, while his team, The Boston Rebels, have made it to the championship game, and if they win he will get a $25 million restaurant endorsement. However, after a successful stage performance, things between Peyton and her father change when she reveals she ran away, she has an allergic reaction to some nuts, and at the hospital Andy's former sister-in-law and Peyton's legal guardian Karen (Paige Turco) shows up to take his daughter back. She tells him Peyton's mother Sara died in a car crash six months ago, and Andy is all alone again, and at the start of the championship game he can only think of his daughter. His mood is changed however when Peyton arrives with Karen to encouragement him, and he bucks himself up, and in the end Andy and the team win the championship, and he refuses an endorsement, sticking with his daughter instead. Also starring Boyz n the Hood's Morris Chestnut as Travis Sanders, Hayes MacArthur as Kyle Cooper, Brian J. White as Jamal Webber, Jamal Duff as Clarence Monroe, Gordon Clapp as Coach Mark Maddox and Tubbs as Spike the dog. Johnson is both funny and admirable as the originally up himself but nicer father figure, Pettris is adorable as the daughter he never knew about before, the film does have the smallest predictable moments, but the light hearted laughs and sentiment does work, a likable family sports comedy. Worth watching!
Ark Dwayne Johnson is "The Rock" in this movie being selfish and absolutely absorbed by himself till he find that he is a father. He a very successfully American football player who thinks he rocks and has everything he needs in his life but something will change that dramatically. Madison Pettis plays little Peyton the eight year old daughter of Joe Kingman the football player, she is a cute kid who sparks the movie. A very nice family movie that you should watch, Johnson does his play pretty well i really like him as a actor because he can be funny and action remind me of Arnold somehow. The spice is added by the a school teacher ballerina played by Roselyn Sanchez that lecture Kingman how to be a real father. The movie is about a father that doesn't know that he had a daughter but he doesn't know also that he likes it and can be a very good and loving father. Johnson show that can be emotional when a little drama drops in the movie but well is well when ends with a happy end. I recommend this movie because is entertaining and have a nice feeling about it so if you want to be a away from those bad crimes, horror and action movie this is the perfect escape.
