The Game Plan (2007)

Joe Kingman is a huge football star. He's got women, money, and a good career. Everything is perfect for him. Then one day an 8-year-old girl named Peyton shows up at his door and says that she's his daughter from a previous relationship. Once he has proof that she is telling the truth, he tries but fails miserably at "parenting". From problems such as his super speedy car with no back seat, to leaving her at a bar at 3am, he's got a lot to deal with. Eventually though, she gets him, (and his football team) wrapped around her finger. When she has a near-death experience and Joe finds out that her mother, Susan, died early that year, he wants her to move in with him. But her Aunt Stella disagrees and takes her home. Joe has to play the game of his life and when he's injured and things don't look good for him, Peyton comes out and gets him right back on the field.—Courtney S.
