"The Game Plan" made a lot more money when it was out in theaters than I thought it would. The Disney's comedy stars Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson as a pro football quarterback named Joe Kingman who thinks he has the perfect game plan to lead his team to a championship.

But then his young daughter shows-up at his apartment one day. He never knew he had a daughter. And now he has to take care of her. So QB's plan gets screwed-up, big-time.

"The Game Plan" may be a comedy but I think I only laughed twice during the entire movie. The plot is very predictable. The acting is not believable, led by Madison Pettis, who plays the daughter and Kyra Sedgwick, way-off as Kingman's agent.

Even The Rock, who played college football before he became the famous wrestler, isn't very good playing a football player.

And I was really hoping to enjoy this film: I like comedies. I like football. But "The Game Plan" just doesn't work.

It's rated PG. There's nothing offensive, so it's safe for everybody, except when The Rock tries to sing like Elvis.

On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, "The Game Plan" gets a disappointing D+. Maybe Disney should stick to serious football movies such as last year's "Invincible", which I liked a lot.
