Load of rubbish!!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This was on TV today and I decided to check it out. The movie is about a quarter backer who is so self-centered and selfish all he cares about is himself. One day his daughter that he never even knew about shows up and at first he is shocked and stunned but eventually as he spends some time with the daughter he never knew he had he begins to realize that being a parent is hard work and that family is important. I think Disney is so obsessed with movies about single dads I mean enchanted had a daughter/father relationship,ah The Parent Trap same thing and also The Little mermaid I mean seriously can Disney not do a mother son relationship instead of a father/daughter relationship its really starting to annoy me now oh and Hannah Montana same thing its like the mother dies and the father has to be in charge 24/7. Seriously I think Disney hates mother/boy/girl relationships anyway back to the film and what Joe Kingman(aka Dwanye the rock Johnason) doesn't realize is that the child's mother apparently died in a car crash 6 months ago and he never knew about his ex wife as they separated 8 years ago.Dwanye Johanson I think was hot in this he kinda reminds me of Billy Crystal in a way dunno why but they are kinda similar. The film itself is funny in some places and kinda flat but having said that its a nice film all about father/daughter relationships and that you should spend some time with your kids.I'll give this a 7/10. Check it out but like I said Disney has an awful habit of doing father/daughter relationships.

So I decided to watch The Game Plan after hearing many good reviews about it when it came out. I forgot about this film and suddenly got it rented and shipped to me to watch. Now first of all I like the Rock and think that he will have a long career ahead of him. But I feel that this movie was somewhat a mistake for him. I wouldn't recommend this to any adult, unless they have a bunch of children and would watch it with them. There is nothing about this film that is original or clever. It has all the same clichés that all sorts of these truly dumb films have. It is really predictable and we see the Rock make a fool of himself in this film. The script is really stupid, the acting is atrocious, and all of the Rocks football teammates are completely unbelievable and pointless. I was not only embarrassed of how bad this was, but embarrassed for anyone involved in this garbage. The plot was really weird. Its about the Rock realizing that he has and 8 year daughter after she comes to his doorway one night. Then things take off from there, and the Rock's character Joe Kingman is a pro football player looking to win a title, while is daughter Peyton is a ballet dancer. Of course like all Disney movies there's the conflicts and problems, and a happy ending. There is no difference in this film. This goes to show that families are desperate to see something they can take their kids to, even though the parents are at a loss for words as to why this is funny to them. I wouldn't recommend this to adults, its more of a kids film.

This movie was quite good. The Rock's best acting so far I think. I've seen a couple of his movies in the past. This is a very good story plot with many laughs and touching moments as well. Good story, entertaining story line, poignant moments to boot. The musical was pretty good as well. Let's see, manly man, football, self discovery, ballet, Elvis, and love, what more do you want? This is enjoyable family film and for adults. I really appreciated this movie. It is very formulaic movie. It reminds me of Pretty Woman and Disney classics combined into one in terms of cast playing their parts and the two main characters acting quite well and in the end find themselves in love with each other father and daughter. Great movie.

watched this film tonight - i have been very critical in the past of overrated family films. i am glad to say my partner daughter aged 9 and myself really enjoyed this film. you can rely on Disney to provide clean family fun for all , this did not disappoint. clearly a feel-good film for father/daughter audience. good script - never boring - awash with funny and sentimental emotions. American football superstars life turns upside down when his 8 year old daughter turns up at his door = not knowing he had one - comes to terms with fatherhood - great acting - gladly not too many American football action - as i can never understand the game as i am from the u.k. - one to definitely buy and keep - the rock rocks - and is not all wind and burgers
