Can You Smell What The Rock Is Cookin'
posted on 18 Aug 2009The Game Plan is a very predictable cute and funny movie with The Rock. Honestly since The Scorpion King I think this is the best acting he has done yet. I honestly thought the little girl was too cute. Like I said very predictable from one scene to the next but funny when you pin an extra larger then life character like The Rock with this cute little girl. The Rock has a sweet car, pimped out house and the dog is also cute and get's some laughs. Like any Disney Movie I was not let down. Disney's movies are always stylish in the way they are set apart form other production company's. There films always have good morals for kids and that is that never give up and try hard. It has that nice family feel that makes this an all around good movie for everyone in the family. In this movie you won't smell what The Rock is cookin' because he has to behave like an adult for the first time in his life and his character learns he can't be so selfish if he has a responsibility like a kid in his life. This movie did not let me down. It is not the greatest movie ever but it doesn't have to because it is what it is, just a good movie.
Never Say No
posted on 02 Aug 2009Can't think up of something that can sum up this movie really well. Except that this movie is really a good one. One that is worth to watch, and is suitable for all age.I must admit, that I'm not very sure about this movie at first. To tell the truth, I'm not even sure if this movie is worth watching or not. Because I saw The Rock in it, and said "The Rock act as a father in a drama family comedy movie? Not a chance it will be good!!" But once again, I was proved wrong. The Rock really got the acting skill for all genre.The movie is about a man (The Rock) who is a very success and really well known for his skill as a quarterback, but somehow lonely. Until one day, a little girl arrive at his apartment door, and claim that she is his daughter. And then, things have gone a little different for the man, because suddenly, he has to adapt with the fact that he has already become a daddy.As usual, I'm not going to spoil this one to anyone. All you gotta do, is watch it at the theater, or watch it from DVD. I'll let you all to have your own judgment for this one movie :DUsually, I'm not the kind of guy who will easily shed tears over some drama movie. But something about The Rock's act made me wanted to. It felt so natural, and so touching at the same time. Game Plan really can make you cry. And I have to admit, there's a couple scenes that made me shed some tears. It's really a touching one and very heart warming family movie.I really recommend Game Plan for everyone to watch. It's excellent. The Rock is actually fabulous, and his act is actually top notch.I rate it 10/10
pretty standard Disney family movie, but very enjoyable
posted on 15 Jul 2009This movie is not brilliant, nor is it terrible.It's just one of many decent family movies: Entertaining and fun for all ages.The storyline is pretty easy to predict and the movie has all standard elements for a 'buddy'-movie, but watching the though and cool Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson humiliate himself is very funny :) I liked this movie for what it was (a decent, but standard family movie) and I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to view a nice movie with the whole family or grab some popcorn and watch the movie with your partner to forget the everyday stress.
OK father-daughter feelgood movie
posted on 11 Jul 2009It's never going to win Oscars, and Dwayne Johnson looks (surprisingly) weak in the emotional acting department at times but this is still an OK kids movie.Nothing to worry about here: no unexpected nasties, just good clean silly fun.It manages to be a nice father-daughter movie, and as we have three daughters that's appreciated. It is silly, funny, highly sentimental and you need to check your brain at the door - but if you're in the right mood and have the little people to enjoy this with then it works.The first 20 minutes were so-so but the rest rocked. A little sentimental in places but overall it's Disney pure and simple.Good support roles and lots of good understanding of what girls want, plus good energy, and a good message mean that this can be viewed by everyone. The boys and dads will love the football, and the mums and daughters will like this too. But it really is a bonding film for daughters and dads at its best.Fun and moving stuff.
Isn't anything like the previews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
posted on 07 Jul 2009I have to admit that I was excited about going to see this movie. It looked absolutely hilarious! And the plot looked good to. Boy, they did a good job on the previews. This movie was awful! Not at all like the previews made it out to be. If you are going to this movie because it looks funny, think again. I was very disappointed. Not funny at all. The only reason this movie gets 3 stars and not less is that the Madison Pettis is a great actor. She did a great job! That, however, was the only thing good thing in the whole movie. The storyline was cheesy. If you have a bunch of 5-years-olds, they will probably like it. But anybody in between 10 and 50 will think that the movie was not worth their time or money.
wow. great movie
posted on 05 Jul 2009The Game plan was awesome. I hope that daughters and fathers will watch this movie. Lots of smiles. Laughter and tears. The movie reminded my how important a father and daughter relationships should be. Life is too short to let a relationship pass you by. With so many split families and mothers leaving the fathers, with out the children is very difficult. The acting in this movie was great and very true. The dancing and the football relationship was put together very well too. I would recommend this movie for all to see. I would watch it again. I went with my son but I would love to go with my daughter too. keep the hope alive dads. and keep that relationship with you daughters all their lives. Let them know how much you love them always.
I wish I had a kid to enjoy this movie with
posted on 28 May 2009WARNING! May Contain spoilers!!!!!!!! Where do I start? this was a predictable Disney movie, no real plot twists, well a maybe 1 or 2 that I didn't see coming, but I found this to be a very enjoyable movie.Joe "The King" Kingman, a totally self-absorbed star quarterback, discovers he has an 8 year old daughter, and she proceeds to turn his OCD lifestyle upside down. At first he fights, kicking and screaming, trying to deny that he could ever have enough room in his life for anyone but himself. but this amazing little girl totally chips away at the wall Joe puts up around himself.If you are expecting anything revolutionary in story-writing, stay home. This movie isn't for you. If you are looking for just a fun Disney movie to enjoy with or without kids, you'll love this.One of my favorite scenes was the montage, and I feel they did a wonderful job with the music, (Mr. Bluesky - ELO) I also loved the ballet scene. it was well filmed and a lot of laughs from the team who all went to see and laugh at Joe.See this movie! seriously...its fun! but if you're a whiny fan-boy, you'll hate it, so don't waste your money
Hardbargin is the place to be
posted on 22 May 2009Going into this film, I was not expecting much. I mean, how could The Rock do a film like that and make it good. Well, my premonitions were only half right. This was not even close to be a great film, but it was not a total waste of time.Some of the things in the movie were average. The girl acted in a typical spoiled brat way for a lot of the movie. However to counteract that, Dwayne dressed up in a tutu. Nothing says funny like a man out of place like that.But the seriousness of the overall ending was kind of expected. I knew that the kid, The Rock, and his new love interest would find themselves in the end. And the results of the football game were expected as well. But this is Hollywood and they give what most viewers want. "C"
A Vanilla Movie
posted on 18 May 2009Taking a hard-boiled action movie star out of his element has long been a favorite premise of Hollywood. This is usually accomplished by taking said star, and then teaming them up with either a cute child or animal. The Game Plan has learned its lessons well, as it teams up its star, wrestler turned actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with both a cute child and an animal. What the movie has not learned is how to present any ideas or anything new to go with it. This isn't just by the book film-making, this is a Frankenstein's Monster built of the clichés handed down over the years.As is usually the case in these kind of films, the lead character begins the film as a self-obsessed material neat freak. The Rock's character, Joe "The King" Kingman lives up to our expectations. He's the star quarterback on a fictional football team called the Boston Rebels. Joe's world of fast living and material possessions is turned upside down with the arrival of an overly precocious 8-year-old girl named Peyton (Madison Pettis). She looks like the child acting agency just dropped her off at his doorstep, as her line delivery and manner of speaking are just too cute and scripted, but she claims to be Joe's daughter from a previous brief relationship with a woman almost 10 years ago. An illegitimate daughter is never a good thing for a celebrity, especially since his hard-nosed agent (Kyra Sedgwick) is trying to get him endorsement deals to help boost his career. With Peyton's mom away in Africa, Joe has to learn how to be a father for the first time in his life.The Game Plan is total film-making by numbers that plays entirely by our expectations. There's no build up or pay off, it just keeps on doing what it knows it's supposed to. We know that eventually little Peyton is going to make a mess in the bathtub when she tries to make a bubble bath, and puts too much of the liquid in. We get the required shot of Joe jumping into the overflowing bubble bath, and having him come out covered with the soapy substance head-to-foot, but it doesn't go anywhere. Another example - Peyton is a ballerina, and starts to attend a local school. The class is taught by a lovely young woman named Monique (Roselyn Sanchez), whom Joe is instantly smitten with. He starts hanging around the class to be close to her, and sooner or later, he's being talked into dancing with the rest of the girls. This leads to the inevitable sequence where we will see him dressed in tights, and performing in front of an audience. And yet, we do not laugh, because the movie does not do anything beyond that simple idea. The film plays takes a switch for mawkish sentimentality in its final half hour. This leads to one of the most curious scenes in the movie. While Joe, Peyton, and Monique are eating at a restaurant, Peyton suddenly grows ill. She has a food allergy to nuts, and Joe must rush to the hospital. What's odd about this moment is that it treats her allergy with the utmost seriousness. And yet, earlier in the film, it plays up Joe's food allergy to cinnamon for laughs. What are we to make of this? Some food allergies are a crisis, while others are hilarious? This movie doesn't understand allergies, just like it doesn't understand a lot of things. Joe's football team doesn't even seem like a real team. Heck, they don't even seem to have a coach for most of the film, until he suddenly appears on the sidelines during the big game climax.There have been a lot of professional wrestlers trying their hand at movies these days, John Cena and Steve Austin being two recent examples. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is so far the only one who actually seems to be attempting a real acting career, instead of playing it safe. I've always found him to be surprisingly charismatic as an actor, and he's no different here. He's just trapped in an unworthy character and screenplay. He goes through the usual character arc of selfish millionaire to caring dad, but the movie gives him no motivation to do so. Young Madison Pettis makes her big screen debut after a couple years acting on various children's programs, and she doesn't quite seem ready for the big time yet. She's too calculating and perfect in her performance, almost like she's trying too hard. I'm not writing her off, as she at least shows some signs she knows what she's doing. I just think she needs to not come across so artificial in her performance.The Game Plan is what I like to call "a vanilla movie". It doesn't offend, but it's so plain and ordinary that you have to wonder why anyone bothered in the first place. The movie is so afraid to step out of the line of expectations, almost as if it thinks our heads will explode if it goes the slightest bit off course, or gives us something to care or (Heaven forbid) think about. How predictable is this movie? When the final scene faded out, I stayed in my seat, because I just had a feeling there was going to be a sequence with the characters singing along to the closing music during the end credits. Sure enough, as soon as the credits started to roll, there was The Rock (and eventually the entire cast and even the crew) singing along to an Elvis song.
Cute movie, kinda corny
posted on 12 May 2009Well, I got to see this tonight as a sneak preview. I went in excited because the trailer cracked me up and wasn't disappointed. It was cute. Some of the lines are corny but some of it was serious stuff. You get to see some emotion from Johnson. The beginning cracks you up, you see this guy basically in love with himself trying to make it to the big one of his football career when he has a little girl thrust upon him. He doesn't know what to do, how to handle her. I think that the background relationship with his father could have been fleshed out a little better,you only get a hint of it, but otherwise it was a good movie. Some of the parts are HILARIOUS!! The little girl in the movie has got definite attitude and it cracked me up. Overall it was a decent movie, a good one to see.
Great movie
posted on 12 May 2009I usually don't enjoy family movies - they are cheesy and very often dull. This movie actually surprised me. The chemistry between the rock and the kid is incredible. I actually buried him in my mind after the doom movie, but this one definitely revived him for me. The story is the weakest part of it - it's been done to death, so that's basically is the only reason i gave it 8 out of 10. As someone who plays rugby, I can relate to team's devotion to each other in the movie even though that is not the point of this movie. Casting is excellent no doubt about it. This kid has a bright future in front of her. The rock definitely has a talent in comedy - much better than action star. In any case I advise everyone to watch it!
I could indeed smell what the Rock was cooking...and it smelled great!
posted on 08 May 2009I saw this movie last night with my older sister and her two daughters. I have had a keen interest in everything the Rock has been doing in terms of Hollywood, and I think he has finally showed us that he is more then a bucolic muscle head with the ability to raise his eye brow in a funny way. Johnson has come a long way from his train wreck appearance in The Scorpion King, and I believe has now established himself as one of the better commodities sitting in Hollywood today. For me, I believe he really started to break free in the Rundown, and just continued to get better and better from Walking Tall, DOOM, and Gridiron Gang as well as his hysterical portrayal in Be Cool. The Game Plan allows Johnson to display his complete array of acting skills with a script that is actually surprisingly well written. The movie is very cute, and I think guys could see this without feeling that their masculinity is being threatened for seeing a "chick flick", but it would definitely be something to take the kids to. The humour is light-hearted, and constant at that. I was absolutely roaring with laughter through the entire movie. But it allows generates several very heart wrenching scenes in which I actually found myself wiping a tear or two away. All in all, this is Johnson's best showing yet, and in my opinion, one of the best movie's of the year. I fully recommend this movie to anyone and I'll be happy to see it again and own it when it comes out.
Film changed a lot
posted on 02 May 2009I have been a Rock fan since WWF/WWE. His ability to entertain people was outstanding. Then he entered movies and did some decent to good movies (except DOOM).He did amazing in Gridiron Gang where we really felt his feelings for the youth locked up, for his mother and for the pride he took in his job to make the boys learn that their way is a wrong way and ends up in a coffin or grave or ashes.Then came The Game Plan. I knew it was gonna be okayish good cause well action star in a Disney flick. But I was wrong. It wasn't okayish good it was EXCELLENTY good. The movie didn't over do anything. The Rock was cocky as Joe Kingman and again he showed us his feelings when the girl (madison) entered his life and slowly changed it. First he lived for himself but after that he became his daughters as his daughter became his hope and guide. And all this was proved well.Yes somethings were kind of rushed like what happens between Joe and Paytons ballet teacher? But all in all this movie is worth it. And Rock if you do such good movies then my guarantee that sky is the limit.
One of the best Disney movies
posted on 28 Apr 2009I saw this movie at the movie theaters and it was one of the best for the whole family. Thats hysterical when Joe Kingman does a commercial ha ha ha ha ha. Dwayne The Rock as Joe Kingman is excellent and funny. Thats funny when Peyton Kelly puts cinnamon in those cookies. Madison Pettis as Peyton Kelly is cute. Kyra Sedgwick as Stella Peck is interesting. Spike the dog is cute. The hippo who sells the burgers is pretty cool. This story is when Joe Kingman plays for the Bostons. Just then there was a little girl named Peyton Kelly. She sometimes messes around the house like messes with the blender, the TV, and when she puts a lot of bubbles. This movie is excellent you will like this movie and also it is for the whole family.
Cute and entertaining
posted on 24 Apr 2009Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays a professional football player who's a selfish, self-centered macho man that changes his ways when he finds out he's a father. Dwayne Johnson isn't the greatest actor, but let that pass and instead enjoy Madison Pettis who acts very well. The story works, and the way it plays out works. This is a family movie and does what it's supposed to do; entertain the whole family. I'd say you basically get what you expect, nothing more nothing less. It's a cute movie, predictable and sentimental, but sometimes that's perfectly OK!
Thoroughly enjoyable family fun
posted on 16 Apr 2009This was a thoroughly enjoyable family movie. Saw it with my wife and 10 year old son and we all had a great time. The Rock is improving as an actor and was quite funny, especially in the Ballet... The little girl was very cute. The humor was squeaky clean and the message was clear and sweet. Loved it. Kyra Sedwick was funny in places which I'm not used to seeing. The supporting cast of football players was well done. There isn't much football in the movie so it won't turn off non-athletes. I think the Rock's charm will continue to drive his career as he is able to always bring the charm while pulling off the tough male ego.
so-so family film
posted on 08 Apr 2009For even the most pumped-up action movie superstar, there's nothing like appearing in a family-friendly vehicle opposite a scene-stealing tyke to bring a touch of humanity to one's image. Indeed, such a career choice has become a virtual right-of-passage for these bodybuilder-turned-actor-types as they endeavor to diversify their portfolios and pad their resumes. We've already had Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vin Diesel doing the daddy-day-care bit - in "Kindergarten Cop" and "The Pacifier," respectively - and now we have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson making like a wet-nurse in "The Game Plan," a warm-and-fuzzy piece of generic fluff designed to be enjoyed and disposed of in roughly equal measure.Joe Kingman is a professional quarterback with an ego and a paycheck as massive as his ginormous biceps. His free-swinging bachelor lifestyle consists of a swanky penthouse pad, endless parties, a stable of gorgeous women, and a Mercedes SLR McLaren worth a cool half a mill or so, give or take a few thou. The problem is that Joe doesn't seem to realize just how lonely and empty his life really is until one fine day when an 8-year-old bundle-of-joy named Peyton shows up quite literally on his doorstep to inform him that she is the long-lost daughter he never knew he had. Suddenly, this international playboy is thrust into the wholly alien world of ballet recitals, bubble baths and parental responsibility.Like the aforementioned movies that preceded it, "The Game Plan" is based on the premise that there is nothing quite so hilarious and aww-evoking as the sight of a steroid-pumped behemoth getting in touch with his nurturing nature. Indeed, it's the incongruity between the macho façade and the tenderhearted actions that provides the comic tension necessary to make such stories work. And "The Game Plan" certainly milks the formula for all it's worth. The predictable storyline is made up of equal parts lowbrow slapstick and push-button sentimentality, as Joe ultimately sees the errors of his ways and becomes a much better man for his experience.Though no great shakes as an actor, Johnson has always displayed a certain self-deprecating charm on screen and he uses it to good effect here. As the precocious moppet, Madison Pettis manages to keep the bathos and saccharine down to an acceptable minimum - which is more than can be said for the movie itself, actually, which ladles the syrup on pretty darn thick in the closing stretches.Nevertheless, this is, I suppose, a tolerable time-waster - provided you're part of the right audience demographic for this sort of thing, that is.
Great family film
posted on 31 Mar 2009This was a very entertaining and funny movie, I taught the Rock and Madison Pettis had great chemistry and there was nonstop fun. If you don't see this movie you are missing great family entertainment at a time when wholesome family values are at an all time low.Go see this movie and you will feel that this movie is going to be a Disney classic, I cannot believe that anyone would give this movie less than a 9. I hope to see Madison Pettis in more movies ,she is a cute adorable little girl and has such a great persona on the screen. The Rock is such a huge figure and he did a great job in this family film and showed how loves can change anyone to become a less selfish person.
A very good family movie
posted on 07 Mar 2009This film was very good. A great family movie with the only purpose of entertaining people with that unique touch that only Disney can give. It has a very simple yet enjoyable story about a famous football player who's life is all about football, parties, women and his dog apparently a very good life but also a very lonely one when someday a girl appears at his door telling that he is her dad and there's where he must learn how to be a parent and at the same time to live. The cast is good. The Rock proves that he is more than an action hero, he also can do comedy in a very good way, the little girl Madison Pettis is so cute and his acting is great, she looks very natural. Roselyn Sanchez delivers a good supporting role as the girl's ballet teacher and Kyra Sedgwick although it was a short performance it was also very convincing. In conclusion, a very good family that you will enjoy
great family film - well recommended
posted on 24 Aug 2009watched this film tonight - i have been very critical in the past of overrated family films. i am glad to say my partner daughter aged 9 and myself really enjoyed this film. you can rely on Disney to provide clean family fun for all , this did not disappoint. clearly a feel-good film for father/daughter audience. good script - never boring - awash with funny and sentimental emotions. American football superstars life turns upside down when his 8 year old daughter turns up at his door = not knowing he had one - comes to terms with fatherhood - great acting - gladly not too many American football action - as i can never understand the game as i am from the u.k. - one to definitely buy and keep - the rock rocks - and is not all wind and burgers
