Preview: The Game Plan (2007)

• Poster: C-

Review:

Clutter seems to be the name of the game with comedy posters. Trying to tickle the viewer's funny bone before getting them stuck in their seats, studios put a little too much into some posters trying to seem both hip and humorous.

• Trailer: B

Review:

It's hard to admit that a film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (obvious enough that he's trying to live his reputation down and start earning a name for himself without the wrestling moniker?) could be interesting and there is enough cliché in the preview to suggest it won't be that good, but there are a few funny moments that might make the film worth catching.

Oscar Prospects:

The film isn't likely to play the Oscar game this year.

Release Date:

• September 28, 2007
