Dwayne Johnson shares the screen space with Madison Pettis in this comedy about a successful football player bonding with his daughter.
Joe Kingman is a successful football player and lives the luxury which is rudely interrupted one day when Peyton shows up at his doorstep claiming to be his daughter. After showing the birth certificate, Joe and his manager refrain from doing a paternity test, since that might affect his career. Peyton claims that her mother left her under Joe's care since she had to go on a sudden mission to Africa. Over time, Joe and Peyton start to bond. But Joe catches Peyton red-handed when she blurts out she needs to return before she is found missing. Joe rushes Peyton to the hospital cause of an allergic reaction, just when he finds out from her that his ex-wife had died in a car crash 6 months ago and Peyton had decided to find out about her father herself. Since then, Peyton had been living with her aunt. While Peyton is undergoing treatment, she hears Joe and her aunt arguing about what's best for her and overhears Joe's manager mentioning that Peyton might interfere with Joe's career. Not wanting to disturb Joe's life, Peyton returns with her aunt. Not able to withstand the loss, Joe performs badly in an important match and gets injured. Peyton rushes to the stadium seeing her dad's state on TV. Joe recovers his confidence and wins the game.
An OK movie - there could have had more funny sequences between Peyton and Joe trying to live together. The ending was predictable and 'The Rock' was indeed rock-like and needs to work a bit more on his emotions.
