The Game Plan (2007) 7/10

Starring : Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Madison Pettis, Kyra Sedgwick, Roselyn Sanchez
Director : Andy Fickman
Running Time : 111 mins

Boston Rebels quarterback Joe Kingman (Johnson) is horrified to discover that his ex-wife had a daughter, Madison (Pettis), and that she's come to stay with him. The eight-year-old soon encroaches on Kingman's bachelor lifestyle, causing him all sorts of trouble in his pursuit of fame, women and money.

This is a typically slapstick Disney movie, with The Rock proving that he isn't just about action. He portrays the money mad jock perfectly, as well as when he devolves into childishness, and his performance opposite screen daughter Pettis is fun to watch. The plot developments are obvious, but it's still a fun movie to watch, and kids will love watching Pettis win over The Rock.
