Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

This overused cliche is appropriate for this film, which recycles cliches over the entire course of the movie. I don't need to give a plot summary of this movie, because it's a plot you've seen many times over. A confident and successful single dad becomes a fish out of water when the child he never knew he had shows up at his doorstep. Over the course of the movie, he bonds with his daughter, and she with him, and both discover things about themselves they never knew existed.

What makes these kinds of movies work, though, is not the plot, not the writing, but the chemistry of the cast. And chemistry is one area where this movie does not disappoint. Dwayne Johnson, in what he insists will be his last movie where he is billed as "The Rock", delivers his role flawlessly. This is a good, fun, family friendly movie that doesn't disappoint. True, it is an all too familiar storyline, but sometimes familiarity is not a bad thing.

I give it four stars out of five. It loses a point for originality, but is in all other ways a great film.
