Gridiron Gang star
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson picks up the pigskin once again for this sports-themed
family comedy concerning a football superstar who abandons the gridiron to answer the call of fatherhood.
Joe Kingman (
Johnson) was a star quarterback destined for greatness; not only is the Boston-based team he plays for well on their way to the championships, but he's got all the money and fame that a man could want out of life. A perpetual bachelor whose one brief marriage ended many moons ago,
Kingman is stunned to learn that a long-forgotten youthful fling had more permanent consequences than he ever anticipated. Now, just as his career is set to blow up bigger than ever, this perpetual bachelor learns that he has a seven-year-old daughter named
Peyton (
Madison Pettis). So how does a lifelong jock who's used to partying all night and dropping 20-yard bombs all day adjust to a life of ballet classes, Barbie dolls, and afternoon play dates? Whatever road he chooses to take, it certainly won't be easy, especially since his ruthless, goal-oriented agent,
Stella (
Kyra Sedgwick), would rather see her client scoring touchdowns than cementing familial bonds.
