Our Review
Hey guys you remember that wrestler who became a movie star, used to be called The Rock, well now he likes to be known as Dwayne Johnson, and he is back with his latest film.
Dwayne plays a football (US) player called Joe, and is your stereotypical hard as nails Quaterback.
But then he finds out he has a long lost 8 year old daughter, and thats when the fun begins, well thats when it is supposed to begin. Unfortunately this film just isn't that funny.
I am finding it hard to remember the last time that The Rock made a truly good film, and I am left to back all the way to Scorpian King, and even that was a bit dodgy.
Whatever I think The Rock is hot property in the US movie world, his movies seem to do well.
I would give this film a disapointing 5/10
Movie Details
Quarterback Joe Kingman is known as one of the toughest players to ever take the field.
Blessed with amazing strength and agility, he's famed for being able to handle any hit, no matter how ferocious.
Kingman's Boston-based pro football team, The Rebels, is chasing their long-awaited championship and Joe has been living the ultimate bachelor fantasy: he's cool, rich, famous and the life of every party and there are a lot of parties.
But his dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers Peyton, the 8-year-old daughter he never knew existed, on his doorstep. Now, just as his career is soaring, Joe must learn to juggle his old lifestyle of parties, practices and dates with supermodels while tackling the new challenges of ballet, bedtime stories and baby dolls all without fumbling.
Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella Peck, herself without a parental bone in her body. But, as the championship grows nearer, Joe is about to realize that the game that truly matters has nothing to do with money, endorsements or even touchdowns--it's all about the really tough stuff: patience, teamwork, selflessness and winning the heart of the one little fan who turns out to count the most.
