Bachelor football star Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) seems to have it all. He is wealthy and carefree, and his team is on the way to capturing a championship. Suddenly, he is tackled by some unexpected news: He has a young daughter (Madison Pettis), the result of a last fling with his ex-wife. Joe must learn to balance his personal and professional lives with the needs of his child.

Critics Consensus

Despite The Rock's abundant charisma, The Game Plan is just another run-of-the-mill Disney comedy.

A barf-inducer. A hurl-promoter. A projectile-vomit-stimulator.

Johnson's amiable performance makes this watchable for the target audience; namely sporty daddies and spoiled little girls primed to assimilate their lives into the Disney brand.

Even The Rock's immense charisma cannot save this predicatable fare.

There are moments where "The Game Plan" works, mostly involving Johnson, but for the most part, this is a forgettable film that won't even matter come October.

The Rock scores in cute (if predictable) comedy.

As corny and cliche as it really is, I can't help but enjoy this father-daughter movie, that I think is a breath of fresh air in showing the (to quote the movie directly) the "power" or rather "importance" of the father.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has natural charisma for the role, which makes the film decently fun for younger viewers, but for everyone else; The Game Plan is a generic, poorly written Disney comedy.

The Game Plan benefits from The Rock's charm, a couple of laughs and a decent amount of effort put into it but the plot is so generic and the script so predictable that this Disney comedy will be a forgettable entry in their long filmography.
