“The Game Plan”-I liked it!
I don’t know about you, but when I first heard of the movie The Game Plan, I was highly doubtful that anything starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could possibly be funny. And then I watched it. And I liked it so much, that I watched it again, by myself.
If you are looking for a true family film, The Game Plan fits that description perfectly. It has a great plot, charming acting, a happy ending, and is appropriate for viewers of all ages. It really doesn’t get any better than that!
Johnson stars as Joe Kingman, a self-absorbed quarterback who lives only for himself and for the game of football, until one day a little girl shows up at his door introducing herself as his daughter. She claims that her mother dropped her off in a taxi before catching a plane out of the country, so he has no choice but to keep her with him. Madison Pettis, who might be known to your children as Sophie on “Cory in the House”, is absolutely captivating as Peyton, a pint-size powerhouse who doesn’t care who her father thinks he is, she is determined to make a Dad out of him. They clash over everything from what to eat to what she can touch in the apartment, but she is just so darn cute about it.
Johnson’s agent is played by the always-terrific Kyra Sedgwick, and the stunning Roselyn Sanchez (I remember when she was Pilar on As The World Turns!) plays Peyton’s ballet teacher who talks Johnson into a part in a ballet performance that is hilarious and sweet. A bit of drama ensues, a slight deception on Peyton’s part is revealed, Kingman has to make a tough choice, but the movie is fast-paced enough that it never drags. It was just so refreshing to watch a fun movie with my kids that we all enjoyed.
Rent or buy The Game Plan to watch with your family, or heck, even by yourself. I really think you will like it.
My kids loved this movie. Giggled all through it. I caught some of it in between my “momma time”, but it looked really cute. I love the ‘cinnamon’, the ‘bubble dog’ and the ‘be-dazzled football’!!
I am pleased to know that you like the movie! I am wanting to see this movie and will! I happen to be a huge fan of “The Rock” and have enjoyed all of his movies so far!

I love the rock and all his movies. They are awesome!!! I just bought “The Game Plan” this morning on Ebay, so hopefully I’ll have it by Fri or Mon.
If you’re looking for another funny movie he is in, check out “The Rundown”. I can never stop cracking up in that movie. It’s really awesome!!
