The Game Plan is a comedy film about rich and famous bachelor quarterback, Joe Kingman (The Rock), and his misadventures with his newly discovered daughter (Madison Pettis).
The film opened to dismal reviews. Although some critics liked The Rock's performance, many found Pettis's performance "overplayed." They also thought the plot was "artificial" and "insipid."
Still, The Game Plan succeeded at the box office, grossing over $137 million worldwide.
