Critics Consensus

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

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

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.

Even The Rock's immense charisma cannot save this predicatable fare.

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.

The Rock scores in cute (if predictable) comedy.

One of the best movies I've seen. It made me laugh . It is a great comedy for the whole family to watch. I definitely would recommend this to everyone.

I liked The Game Plan because it was funny and emotional. It’s about a famous football player who finds out he has a daughter he didn’t know about. At first, he doesn’t know how to be a dad, but little by little they connect. The movie shows how love can change people. It’s fun to watch and also has a nice message about family. Sharom Ramírez

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.
