"Although 'The Game Plan' disappointed me, I wouldn't be surprised if teeny-bopper girls -- and fans of "The Rock" -- get a kick out of it."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

0.5/4
"The Game Plan makes The Pacifier look like No Country for Old Men."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

2.5/5
"maudlin and manipulative"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

"I wish Dwayne Johnson well, and I respect Disney's tenacity when it comes to their dreadful formulas, so I look forward to next year's offering: 50 Cent in the Cub Scout comedy, Da Top Scout."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

"You can't not like The Rock."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"...it ultimately seems unlikely that the movie will appeal to viewers outside of its target demographic (ie pre-pubescent tots)."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"An example of middle-of-the-road insignificance."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D
"The kind of movie that Disney used to make a lot of back in the day: live-action, simple-minded, aimed at children, and kind of stupid."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Sappy and simplistic, The Game Plan belongs on the sidelines of stale cotton candy creativity."  World Voice News  Frank Ochieng

3/4
"The Game Plan is as cute as a pail of kittens and about as orderly, but ... it works as a pretty solid example of how the skillful execution of some of the oldest plays in the book can still get the ball to the end zone."  Cinematical  James Rocchi

5/10
"As a family friendly movie, The Game Plan works perfectly well."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/5
"a big screen version of something made for the Disney Channel - only with The Rock instead of Zac Efron"  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

C+
"...The Rock's charm and romantic interest Roselyn Sanchez's mischievous warmth make The Game Plan an easy sit."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/4
"Should be dismissed entirely as cutesy, formulaic, sentimental drivel ... but cannot be so easily written off without a second thought because Johnson is so charismatic in it."  Movie Insider  Mark Dujsik

2/4
"All fairly harmless, but outside of the kid and family target audience, also fairly forgettable."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

B-
"Some audiences will find it as sugary as a fruit-scented princess pony sticker book, but its intended viewers will be delighted."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

2/4
"A remixed version of Elvis's "Rubberneckin'" is an apt credit sequence number, since the movie is itself a similarly trivial, jazzed-up version of a standard."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

3/5
"Despite its almost painfully silly predictability, this film somehow manages to be engaging and rather enjoyable, thanks mainly to The Rock's on-screen charisma."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

5/10
"From playboy to paternity, this is a heart-warming but totally predictable, formulaic comedy."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger
