      Critics Consensus

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

      Lou T Taking on the surprised single dad story, The Game Plan lands Dwayne Johnson in the hot seat, early in his movie career. Playing the self absorbed football player, Joe Kingman, Johnson stars aside the adorable Madison Pettis as his long lost daughter Peyton Kelly. While the premise is fairly basic, the duo add a loving charm to the story and fully invest you into it. Though the acting is cheesy throughout and not every joke lands, that isn't going to turn viewers away from this cute film. The Game Plan doesn't break new ground in terms of its type of film, but it is quite fun and enjoyable for the whole family. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Logan D Acting is alright. The rock is painfully bad at any scenes other than be macho man especially any sort of emotional scenes. Luckily, he had very minimal emotional scenes. The story screams Disney so it's incredibly predictable with decent comedy and a heartfelt ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Jace E The Game Plan is exactly what you would expect upon looking at the film poster. With a fairly straightforward concept and a script made for children, there is nothing exceptional about this movie. It was interesting to see the Rock in the infant stage of his film career (he has definitely taken some acting lessons since 2007). I left the film mildly surprised by a small twist and somewhat entertained. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Kyeler W The Game Plan is a heartwarming and entertaining movie that showcases Dwayne Johnson's acting versatility. Johnson plays the role of Joe Kingman, a tough and arrogant football player who suddenly finds himself having to take care of his long-lost daughter. The movie highlights the struggles and joys of fatherhood as Joe navigates his way through the responsibilities of being a parent while also trying to maintain his successful career. What sets The Game Plan apart from other family movies is its ability to balance humor and emotion. The comedic moments are well-timed and never feel forced, while the touching scenes are genuinely heartwarming without being overly sentimental. Johnson's performance is also noteworthy, as he brings depth and nuance to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional. Overall, The Game Plan is a delightful movie that will appeal to both children and adults. It's a perfect choice for a family movie night and a must-watch for fans of Dwayne Johnson's work. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Neil N The best movie I in love the movie alot.
