Can you smell what THE GAME PLAN is cooking?

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson found his niche when he strayed away from trying to do movie remakes like WALKING TALL (the original was done better...not much though) and video-games-turned-Hollywo

od flicks like DOOM and SPY HUNTER and instead headed towards football movies. The Rock (now wanting to officially shrug off his wrestling nickname and only go by Dwayne Johnson) is in his comfort zone whenever he plays a football player...and whenever he brings out his Elvis routine. THE GAME PLAN showcases both of these skills.

Dwayne Johnson...er, The Rock...I can't bring myself to call him Dwayne...plays an ultra talented quarterback with the world as his oyster. Anything he wants, he gets. He's larger than life both physically and in personality. Life rolls along until his 8 year old daughter (adorable Madison Pettis from The Disney Channel) he never knew existed appears on his doorstep looking for a place to stay.

To say THE GAME PLAN is a blood, sweat, and tears pigskin movie like GRIDIRON GANG or REMEMBER THE TITANS would be misleading. This is a Disney production. And where there's Disney, there has to be a little kid that one-ups the adult (i.e. The Rock) with family friendly comedy and gooey messes. Family friendly Disneyfied hilarity ensues.

Will your kids enjoy this movie? If they like Disney live action comedies,they will. Is there enough in this movie for the adults? Not really. The Rock is sugar coated and the comedy is forced. But he's good enough to make his character passable...but he's more in his element in the football scenes.
