Critics Consensus

Despite The Rock's abundant charisma, The Game Plan is just another run-of-the-mill Disney comedy.

There are moments where "The Game Plan" works, mostly involving Johnson, but for the most part, this is a forgettable film that won't even matter come October.

In many ways, The Game Plan is really just a big-budget, feature-film version of a Disney Channel Original Movie.

Rated: 3/5

A moving film about the relationship between a father and daughter. I cried and laughed with this film, I saw it twice, but both times were really very moving, it was moving to tears. I highly recommend everyone to see this film.

not good but not bad either, its exactly a very family friendly movie that sounds and its for disney channel, its not impressive but its enjoyable to watch with kids or in a boring friday. the reviews back in 2007 didnt know what they were talking about, literally all we get now are slops with the rock in it, at least he was more human here in this one

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Another case of Critics not knowing what their talking about and looking at a film with less emotion than a stone. Ignore the useless tomatoes for this film. A brilliant feel good movie.
