One o the most popular wrestlers to come out of the 90s was The Rock, and when he left the arena to pursue an acting career a lot of people figured he would end up like so many others that left and just couldn’t make it on the outside. But with each film success he became known for his real name, Dwayne Johnson, and that he was an acting force to be reckoned with. Teaming up with Disney this time around the audience sees him in a completely family oriented story that shows his range to play more than just the muscle bound action star.
Even though Quarterback Joe Kingman is totally focused on winning the NFL championship title, what completely throws him for a loop is the arrival of a 7 year old daughter he didn’t now he had. Young Madison Pettis plays the 7 year old daughter who seems to be wise beyond her years and very imaginative once her scheme about Joe is revealed. Using a real football stadium, like Gillette Stadium in Foxborough Massachusetts, lends to the realism to the story, and with this realism the game sequences are a lot more believable.
This is a entirely candy coated story with a happy ending that is so Hollywood, but where this is a Disney film what else would you expect. The whole story is cute with life lessons for children and adults throughout the film, but the most adorable scenes are the ones that Pettis is involved in and everyone she’s in she steals the show. Just like any other Disney film after watching this story your left with a warm fuzzy feeling inside, but what would expect its suppose to be a feel good movie for kids and adults alike.
