From Time Out New York

Following in the testosterone-sculpted footsteps of Vin Diesel and the Governator, former WWE champ Dwayne Johnson tackles a Disney romp about a tyke-challenged muscleman. Fans of the Rock’s comic chops and considerable Samoan charm might be tickled by his turn as an egocentric quarterback suddenly confronted with an eight-year-old daughter he unwittingly fathered. But this Hail Mary pass at a pro-football family comedy fumbles logic and reason for the sake of sass attacks and trumped-up kiddie trauma.
