Trivia
Dwayne Johnson said he came up with the idea for his character to be such a huge Elvis Presley fan, and suggested the idea to the writers, who loved it and added it to the script. Johnson later said that when they asked how he came up with the idea, Johnson responded that he is Elvis' biggest fan, and much of the Elvis memorabilia his character owns actually belongs to Johnson.

Goofs
The scene where the camera pans the stadium about 3/4 of the way through the film looks like a scale model with a fake background.

Quotes
Joe Kingman: I have an answer to your question, P. Win or lose today, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Cute and entertaining

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays a professional football player who's a selfish, self-centered macho man that changes his ways when he finds out he's a father.

Dwayne Johnson isn't the greatest actor, but let that pass and instead enjoy Madison Pettis who acts very well. The story works, and the way it plays out works. This is a family movie and does what it's supposed to do; entertain the whole family.

I'd say you basically get what you expect, nothing more nothing less. It's a cute movie, predictable and sentimental, but sometimes that's perfectly OK!
