Review of The Game Plan (2007) by Johnny T — 21 Feb 2011
The movie is so likable that it glides over its many plot holes... The film's direction, by Andy Fickman, is raucous but never crass, and the affable Mr. Johnson is committed to every moment. A throwback to the days when Disney would recruit second- and third-tier stars to stroll through indifferently written, modestly produced comic fluff that served as family entertainment. Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the most valuable player here, revealing impressive comic chops and megawatt charisma even while serving as a human punchline for many of the pic's predictable sight gags.
VERDICT: "Rental" - (Negative to Mixed reaction). These films are only worth renting because of certain good things that are worth seeing, but are not worth paying at a theater to see due to bad things that overcome anything good.
