A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This movie is an amazing movie for kids and adults alike. The Rock shines as a wanna be football player who's also a parent of a young kid. There's lot of charm and humor and Disney shines!!!
The Game Plan (2007): Dir: Alan Fickman / Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Madison Pettis, Kyra Sedgwick, Roselyn Sanchez, Morris Chestnut: A clean yet routine sports comedy about priorities, and our first priority should be to avoid this film at all cost. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays Joe Kingman, a high profile football player who meets the eight year old daughter he never knew he had. Standard setup leads to his struggle to adapt followed to his predictable turn from egotistical to caring father. Directed by Alan Fickman who keeps it clean but that is pretty much it. It certainly doesn't try too hard to be original. The Rock is actually quite amusing and goes beyond the cardboard cut-outs surrounding. Madison Pettis is basically reciting what every other kid who has been in these films have done. She gets in the way yet becomes endearing. Kyra Sedgwick as The Rock's agent fills space that she really needed for a project superior to this. Roselyn Sanchez as Pettis's ballet instructor is as flat as paper. How bored was the pitch idea for this junk? Did the studio honestly believe that having Dwayne Johnson involved in this would somehow make it original? Does it make him look any less idiotic than any other wrestler doing the same family film crap? Talk about bankrupt ideas. The result is a tired retread that proves that the screenwriter had no game plan. Score: 2 ½ / 10
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.
Very boring film. I usually like Disney animated films, but most of live action Disney films are boring and dumb. (Not all, but most of them are terrible) This movie is very boring and annoying.The characters are flat and don't have personality at all, are just clichés stolen from other movies. The only character that had personality was the little girl, and her character was annoying.Dwayne Johnson is a terrible actor, and his character was awful.This movie is awful and filled with boring and unlikeable characters. The humor and the characterization is bland at best. I don't recommend this to anyone.0/10
