This hilarious and heartwarming family comedy is even more winning on Disney Blu-ray as one of sports' toughest players ever takes on his biggest challenge yet - fatherhood!

A superstar with an ego bigger than a football field, Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) is getting ready for a run at the big championship game when the 8-year-old daughter he never knew existed shows up at his not-so-family-friendly bachelor pad.

As the big game gets closer, he begins to realise the most meaningful win he can achieve is the heart of the one little fan who counts the most. Prepare to be dazzled in Blu-ray? High Definition!

When it comes to parenting, star footballer turned father in this tale of bachelor who finds himself stuck with the daughter he never knew he had and an all new 'Game Plan' he must make to become the dad he never knew he could be.

Rising child-star Madison Pettis plays Peyton, a seven year old girl with ballet on the brain. When her mother delivers her to Joe's doorstep and informs him she is heading away for a month, Peyton pushes the boundaries, demanding he join her in everything from bedtime stories to ballet lessons with the glamorous 'Without a Trace' star Roselyn Sanchez.

Joe soon finds it a game of skill, as he juggles to balance parenthood with a professional gridiron career, desperately trying not to drop the ball on either. As the Boston Rebels chase a championship on field, off field Joe struggles to keep up with his new life, now filled with dolls, dancing and a daughter.

To the amazement of his hard-hitting mega agent Stella (Kyra Sedgewick), Peyton's presence begins to curb the superstar-quarterback's boyish habits and open his eyes to life beyond fame, fortune and non-stop partying. While showcasing the ups and downs that accompany parenting, 'The Game Plan' is a heart-warming story of how 'fathers are the ones that pick you up and give you the courage to do stuff you never thought you could'.

Join The Rock on the ride from serial-bachelor to caring father, and be charmed as he turns his attention from thousands of adoring fans to one small, very special fan in the must-see family DVD, The Game Plan.

Packed with bonus features including cast interviews, behind the scenes exclusives and photo galleries from the making of the film, The Game Plan will kick a goal with the whole family.

Review: Great family fun movie. A powerful and charming film that turns a self-centred bachelor sports hero into a real life hero . When Joe's (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) daughter arrives on his doorstep and turns his world around, Joe learns quickly that life is about compromise and that his selfish habits have consequences. But as he opens his heart, he also finds an inner strength and a new purpose for his life that is more rewarding.
