Reviews for The Game Plan
Top CriticThe film improves, but the heavy handed first half drags its mood to the end, where predictability and corn mix into a concoction as unappetising as the health smoothie Joe Kingman creates for breakfast with his disgusted little daughter

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

Top CriticSomebody give Dwayne Johnson a decent role, please. Sure this is relatively inoffensive, but he's a great screen presence and deserves better.
03/07/08
Despite its cheesy story, The Game Plan has one major trump card: The Rock is actually quite good.
03/07/08
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.
03/07/08
Even The Rock's immense charisma cannot save this predicatable fare.
03/07/08
Top CriticWatchable comedy that manages to overcome its formulaic plot and cliche-laden script, largely thanks to Johnson being such a likeable comic actor.
03/06/08
Despite its almost painfully silly predictability, this film somehow manages to be engaging and rather enjoyable, thanks mainly to The Rock's on-screen charisma.
02/21/08
...it ultimately seems unlikely that the movie will appeal to viewers outside of its target demographic (ie pre-pubescent tots).
02/04/08
The Game Plan makes The Pacifier look like No Country for Old Men.
01/24/08
Formulaic, but watchable.
01/23/08
maudlin and manipulative
01/20/08
As a family friendly movie, The Game Plan works perfectly well.

I don't know what planet the people who put this together live on, but the behavior depicted here has nothing to do with anything recognizable as human, let alone normal.
01/12/08
Not great, not bad.
01/10/08
Neither perceptive nor authentic, it lacks genuine humour and shows what an overwritten and under-funny script, put in the hands of immature actors, can produce.
10/20/07
All fairly harmless, but outside of the kid and family target audience, also fairly forgettable.
10/19/07
You can't not like The Rock.
