I went to see the movie "The Game Plan" this past weekend and I'm very surprised to say this but I really, really enjoyed it.
The trailers for this movie made it look so-so and kinda corny but somehow it all just WORKED.
While the critic in me must nitpick a little about the movie's predictable storyline, the woman/mother in me sniffles (even now, days later) with emotion just thinking about how a big bad quarterback turned into a big, sloppy, lovable mush of a man in about 110 minutes, give or take.
It made me all warm and fuzzy inside!

Believe me it would be easy for me to bash this movie (trust me on this; I'm a professional) for being too predictable cookie-cutter but I just can't. Like some sentimental fool, I allowed all of the sweetness to get the better of me and go straight to my heart.

I was never really into him as a wrestler, but I sure do dig Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a man!
(Clears Throat) But enough about that, I suppose you're here because want to know what this movie is about, right?
So here goes, stop me if you've heard this one before.

"The Game Plan" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (umm, is he ever going to drop that tag?) as a famous NFL quarterback named Joe Kingman. Joe Kingman is a vain, selfish bachelor who has some wild ways... at least the ones that are approved by Disney that is.

His football team is on its way to the playoffs and Joe is on top of the world, until a little girl named Peyton played by Madison Pettis, shows up on his doorstep claiming to be his daughter that he never knew he had. Joe thinks she's been left by her mother, but actually this 8-year-old little cutie has put together a Mission Impossible caliber master plan in order to be with him.
Long story short, Joe is about to realize what really matters in life has nothing to do with money, product endorsements or even touchdowns-it's all about being a good father and winning the heart of the one little fan that matters the most.

All together now, "Awww!"
