The Game Plan

The Game Plan is so cutesy and typical my mother and I predicted the last half-hour line-for-line, and a shocking thing happened! We were right! For half the adults out there who've had to endure all the Disney movies with their kids over the last 15 years, you should see the trailer, then write a 2-page outline of the movie, bring it into the theater, and see if you're right! And also it suffers multi-personality disorder, one minute The Rock is doing ballet, next he's bringing his unconscious daughter to a hospital! And despite charismatic and funny performances from The Rock and 8-year old Madision Pettis and some funny gags, it just doesn't work.

Joe Kingman is a huge pro football star who seems to have it all - big apartment, cute dog, fame. But one day he discovers something he never knew he had - a daughter named Peyton. Her mother sent off to Africa for a month, a reluctant Joe takes Peyton under his wing. At first, naturally, he's mean and snobbish, and yet 20 minutes later he's performing ballet and chilling out at a doll store! And when it tries to get emotional (which happens often), it collapses under it's own weight, with the exception of a hilarious argument between Joe and Peyton.

Overall, it's fine for a $3 rental, but a $10 ticket? Heck , no. C-
