Boasts enough comedy to get by, ensuring reasonable entertainment for its target audience.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 24, 2020
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.

The Rock scores in cute (if predictable) comedy.

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

Somebody give Dwayne Johnson a decent role, please. Sure this is relatively inoffensive, but he's a great screen presence and deserves better.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 7, 2008
Despite its cheesy story, The Game Plan has one major trump card: The Rock is actually quite good.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2008
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.
| Original Score: 2/6 | Mar 7, 2008
Even The Rock's immense charisma cannot save this predicatable fare.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2008
Watchable comedy that manages to overcome its formulaic plot and cliche-laden script, largely thanks to Johnson being such a likeable comic actor.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 6, 2008
Despite its almost painfully silly predictability, this film somehow manages to be engaging and rather enjoyable, thanks mainly to The Rock's on-screen charisma.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 21, 2008
...it ultimately seems unlikely that the movie will appeal to viewers outside of its target demographic (ie pre-pubescent tots).
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 4, 2008
The Game Plan makes The Pacifier look like No Country for Old Men.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jan 24, 2008
Formulaic, but watchable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 23, 2008
maudlin and manipulative
