The bride must have added this to my Netflix list because I have no recollection of such.
Rated G and released in 2007. Directed by Andy Fickman who is in the early stages of his career having directed another Disney the movie, Race to Witch Mountain.
Writers for the movie Nichole Millard and Kathryn .
The plot...
An NFL quarterback living life as a self-centered star and the dogmatic bachelor lifestyle discovers that he has a 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. And guess what, big surprise, the star changes and becomes the thoughtful prefect father.
The cast....
- Dwayne Johnson in the lead as Joe Kingman star and NFL quarterback. Johnson and Fickman also collaborated in Race to Witch Mountain.
- Madison Pettis as Peyton Kelly, Kingman's new found daughter.
- Kyra Sedgwick as Stella Peck, Kingman's smarmy agent. I like The Closer a lot and I am glad she's doing different things, avoiding being typecast, but this is a little much.
- Morris Chestnut as Travis Sanders, a moral compass and wide receiver on Kingman's football team. One of Chestnut's first roles was as Ricky Baker, Dough Boy's doomed brother in the seminal movie Boyz n the Hood.
I give this movie a rating of 13 of 50. Not too hot.
- Character Development, 5 of 10, I guess that this was a movie about character development, but I don't buy is.
- Screenplay, 2 of 10. Get the kids the popcorn and let them enjoy.
- Acting, 2 of 10, a chance for Johnson to play the nice guy and show off his body.
- Photography, 2 of 10.
- Plot, 2 of 10, its a kid's movie.
My favorite part of the movie was during the credits, when the cast and staff dance and sing along with Elvis's "Burning Love".
