"Maybe it´s a symptom of my critical senses softening in old age, but somewhere underneath the clichés and ABC Sports cameos, there´s a story about a father and daughter in "The Game Plan" which is genuine and honest. See, even though we know where the story is going from the very beginning-a record season, an injury, the inevitable return from said injury to lead team to victory-that knowledge lets us focus on what really matters: family. And that´s a theme every Disney live action and animated movie in history has excelled at-bringing people together despite the obstacles. Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) is quarterback of the fictional Boston Rebels football team. He´s led his team to all possible glory except the championship. He´s famous, rich and hosts the swankiest parties-swankiest in Disney PG fashion, of course-until a little girl shows up on his doorstep. Peyton (Madison Pettis) claims to be his daughter from a failed marriage. ... "

"It happens eventually to every filmmaker and actor associated with R-rated movies*, and now Eli Roth, the “torture porn auteur” who gave us Hostel and Hostel II, is making the transition to family-friendly fare — in order to make the kids happy, of course.

It has to do with the realization that kids don’t have enough movies made for them, and they’d apparently like to see what Eli Roth’s talent is like. Only, up until now, they haven’t been allowed. As Roth defends the move: “Everyone I know has been saying ‘When are you gonna do a movie my kids can see?’ And finally, I’m gonna make a movie that 13-year-old kids can see.” The movie, which Roth is still scripting, is described as being inspired by

"Don't get me wrong; it's terrific acting all around, and a fairly good couple of stories (clashed together ... sort of 'I wonder what happens if ... oh ...")If it had come out before the WEDDING CRASHERS-gang had written The Comebacks, The Game Plan is one of the movies that would've had its three-minute spoof there.If it hadn't been out by then, I guess I'll have to get my mind started on another 'idea ahead of its time'-script for the Farrellys to reject!As I can see from the Community rating, the 'experts' (who all have faith in Hollywood enough to see each "project" through) know that--while it is a worthy brick in the wall--it's still just 'another brick in the wall.'Non-experts (or "most people") don't want 'another brick in the wall.' They each have at least a wall-full of those at home (a.k.a. 'books').Yes; with this movie, I would also much rather close my eyes and remember how ... "
