Review: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 'The Game Plan'

Released on January 22nd
Gene Seymour Gene Seymour

That's too bad, because "The Rock" proves himself once again to be agreeable company as Joe Kingman, an all-pro quarterback for the Boston Rebels who's got Joe Namath's swagger, Brett Favre's arm and Tom Brady's footwork - though one should hastily add here that he loves his bulldog almost as much as he loves himself.

When Joe finds out that he has an 8-year-old daughter named Peyton (Madison Pettis) from the 8-year-old daughter herself, his narcissism comes under predictable siege. He's got to make room in his life for her, and she doesn't make it easy for him - or for us.

Pettis is adorable, but she's compelled to push the cuteness dial well past one's tolerance level. Still, if you've got small ones, they'll probably enjoy the messes Joe and Peyton make together. The kids may also wonder why it takes so long for all the movie's messes to get cleaned up.

Extras include an "ESPN SportsCenter Exclusive: The King in Search of a Ring," in which ESPN host Stuart Scott takes a look at Joe Kingman's fictitious biography; a behind-the-scenes featurette, "Drafting The Game Plan" and bloopers with Marv Albert, as well as deleted scenes.
