Reviews for The Game Plan
Generic to the point where it might be called Sport-Themed Disney Girly Movie All Rights Reserved.
09/28/07
As polished and innocuous as a spin around the park on Dumbo.
09/28/07
There are worse ways to spend two hours with your children, and The Game Plan, in trying to please everybody, fairly much succeeds.
09/28/07
The makers of this family film dumb down some material so much that it fails to tickle funny bones of any age.
09/28/07
This is not a movie designed to surprise, but as comfort food, it goes down pleasantly enough until the final credits roll.
09/28/07
Every inch of The Game Plan is formulaic.
09/28/07
[Pettis] overplays cute to the point where you wish the Rock would practice one of his wrestling moves on her and ship her off to Kid Nation.
09/28/07
Apart from a heart-tugging plot twist, some lesson learning and more random football talk, that's about it. Oh, except for the scene in which Kyra Sedgwick farts. Be sure to update your resume, Kyra.

Director Andy Fickman seem to have thrown everything into this artificial comedy, in the hopes that something might stick. Almost nothing does.
09/28/07
A comedy so formulaic and uninspired that you'd swear you've seen the movie before.
09/28/07
Johnson, as he's proven before, has all the stuff movie stars do. Well, except a decent script.
09/28/07
I was hooked. While the critic (sounds like cynic) nitpicked the movie's predictable storytelling and comic set-ups, the mother in me sniffled with emotion as the Big Bad Quarterback turned into a sloppy puddle of a man.

This innocuous family fare will probably appeal to wee ones who haven't been fed enough of this formula. But I wanted to spit up a little.
09/28/07
A Disney comedy that tries to overcompensate with cute what it lacks in clever.
09/28/07
Yes, this is a road we've traveled down before, but at least this time, it's paved with a lot of charm and heart.
09/28/07
Top CriticAlmost every note in this insipid comedy is strident or false.
09/28/07
There's a fine line -- just two letters, in fact -- between precocious and precious. Unfortunately The Game Plan not only crosses it but runs 80 yards down the field, and one can't help but throw a flag on the play.
09/28/07
[Johnson's] quick smile and willingness to play along make him by far the most likable of modern movie muscleheads. He's thus one of the reasons to see The Game Plan.
09/28/07
[Actress] Pettis is adorable, but she's compelled to push the cuteness dial well past one's tolerance level.
