The Game Plan is a 2007 family comedy film directed by Andy Fickman and starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Joe Kingman, a successful and egotistical NFL quarterback who lives a bachelor lifestyle. His life is turned upside down when he discovers that he has a daughter named Peyton (Madison Pettis) from a previous relationship with his ex-wife, who he hasn't seen in years.
Peyton, a smart and independent 8-year-old girl, shows up at Joe's doorstep one day and he initially struggles to adjust to being a father. He hires a ballet instructor named Monique (Roselyn Sánchez) to take care of Peyton while he focuses on his football career, but soon learns that being a dad is more important than his career.
As Joe starts to bond with Peyton and become more involved in her life, including attending her ballet classes and school events, he discovers that he has been missing out on an important part of life. Meanwhile, his team's chances of making it to the championship game are jeopardized by his newfound responsibilities, but he finds a way to balance both his family and football life.
The film received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, grossing over $147 million worldwide. It was praised for Johnson's performance and its heartwarming message about the importance of family.
