 Game Plan, The
| During what holiday is Joe Kingman having a party early on in the movie? | The Game Plan
|
New Year's Eve. Early on it becomes apparent Joe Kingman doesn't have much of a life after football. His girlfriend, Tatianna leaves early during the party to catch a flight, his teammate, Travis also leaves to go home to his family, and soon all his other teammates and friends leave as well, leaving him alone to watch himself on TV.
| When Joe was a kid, his father didn't allow him to have what? | The Game Plan
|
sugar. Peyton explains she's a kid and kids love sugar, Joe explains his father didn't allow him to have any when he was a kid, to which Peyton replies "Is that why you never smile?"
| Where does Peyton say her mother is going to be for a month? | The Game Plan
|
Africa. Peyton tells Joe and Stella that her arrival was last minute since her mother, Sarah, had to go to Africa to work on a project to make the water safe to drink for the natives. When asked if they can reach her by cellphone or email, Peyton tells them that neither would work where she is.
| Since Joe doesn't have a guest room, Peyton has to sleep on the couch, but does she? | The Game Plan
|
No. When Peyton tells a bedtime story, Joe falls asleep on the couch, so she goes to sleep on his bed. Oddly enough, Joe's custom made orthopedic bed cost him $10,000, whereas his couch, which is ugly as sin, and absolutely impossible to sleep comfortably on, cost four times as much. After a couple of horrible nights on the couch, Joe fixes up a room for Peyton.
Ballet. When Joe first takes Peyton to ballet school, he comments that ballet isn't a real sport and football is. Peyton's teacher, Roselyn Sanchez puts Joe through a few lessons in ballet, which prove to be harder work on him than football practice. Roselyn explains that ballerinas can jump just as high as football players, but when ballerinas come down, they come down in plies, and then stand pointe for hours and hours. She concludes that ballet isn't easy and if it were, it would be called football.
Nuts. After eating some cookies which cause him to speak like Snagglepuss, Joe finds out Peyton put cinnamon in them and tells her he's allergic to it. Peyton responds that she's allergic to nuts, an allergy which will put her in the hospital later in the movie.
Peyton Bedazzles it. The morning after Peyton shows up on Joe's doorstep, he trips and finds her Bedazzler which she uses on her doll's clothes. Later in the movie Joe takes out his football and finds it covered in Bedazzle jewels.
| What does Joe say you need to be to handle parenting? | The Game Plan

A mother. Roselyn replies that while it's true mothers are smarter, kinder and better at most everything, fathers are the ones who pick you up and give you the courage to do things you didn't think you could do before. She explains that her father took her to her first ballet lesson, and both she and Joe are glad he did.
| Who comes to take Peyton away from Joe and back home? | The Game Plan
|
Karen Kelly. Early on after Peyton's arrival, she says that she lives with her mother Sarah, and that her aunt Karen is dead. After Peyton is hospitalized, Karen shows up, demanding to know what Joe is doing. He asks if Sarah is still alive, to which Karen explains that Sarah died in a car accident six months ago.
| After Peyton leaves, what does Joe find in the room he put together for her? | The Game Plan
|
All of these (Her bag, A letter from Sarah, Her notebook). Spike whines and goes into Peyton's room and pulls out her bag from under the bed. Joe finds in it a picture of him, a newspaper clipping of his and Sarah's wedding and Peyton's notebook where she wrote down questions to ask him. There is a letter from Sarah explaining they have a daughter who is a lot like him, but she is afraid he won't want anything to do with them.
Elvis Presley . Joe has Elvis posters, an Elvis guitar, and a red sequined jumpsuit in his home. Most of what he sings and dances to are all songs by Elvis Presley.
| During the movie, Peyton asks Joe a lot of questions, most of which he answers. What is the one question he keeps avoiding giving her a clear answer on? | The Game Plan
|
What's the best thing that ever happened to you?. Near the end of the movie, during the big game and right before Joe steps back into play, he tells Peyton that no matter what happens after the game, she is the best thing that happened to him.
Boston. Boston is in Massachusetts. Boston is the home to 2004 and 2007 World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox. Boston is also the capital of Massachusetts. The Boston Bruins also play in Boston.
Boston Rebels. The Boston Rebels is led by all-star Joe Kingman. He is the "King Without No
Ring" as mentioned in the special documentary of Joe Kingman on Sportscenter later into the movie.
Peyton. We find Peyton when she knocks on Joe's door and Joe thinks she is selling Girl Scout cookies. Peyton is played by Madison Pettis. Madison Pettis also stars in "Cory in the House" on Disney Channel. Peyton has run away from her guardian because she wants to be with her dad. We find out that Peyton is allergic to peanuts.
Stupid. One of the teammates figures this out when they first see Peyton. At the end of the movie in the final game, the opponent says the word "stupid" and he says, "Stupid is a mean word."
Quarterback. Joe Kingman considers himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He single handedly carries the Rebels to the championship game. When a game is on the line and there is a man wide open, he will run the ball for a touchdown. Quarterback is the position in football behind the center on the offensive side of the ball. Some famous quarterbacks are, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath and Joe Montana.
Elvis. All around Joe's house we see Elvis pictures. He even has a mannequin wearing an Elvis suit. He has movie posters that Elvis starred in on his wall. He can even sound like him when he sings.
Yes. Before the game, the legal guardian of Peyton takes Peyton back home. Joe loses all of his momentum going into the game. In the beginning of the game he is horrible. He gets sacked and ruins his shoulder. When Joe is resting, Peyton comes in and wakes Joe up, saying that he has to get back out there. He goes back out there and wins the game by throwing a touchdown to a wide open receiver.
| In the first game we see Joe stiff-arm a defender and spin around him for the score. The announcers have a name for this. What do they call it? | The Game Plan
|
The Kingman Swing. He must do this a lot, considering the announcers manage to find a suitable name for the move. It seems as though Joe trusts his legs more than his arm, or his legs more than his receivers.
| After the first game we see, what is the occasion for Joe's party? | The Game Plan
|
New Year's Eve. Joe says "Happy New Year" quite a few times, not only during the party, but the next day as well. He wishes Peyton a Happy New Year when he goes to write her an autograph. New Year's Eve falls around the start of the NFL playoffs.
| When Joe first sees Peyton at his door, he figures she is selling Girl Scout cookies. Joe tells Peyton he doesn't eat Girl Scout cookies. Which kind does he mention? | The Game Plan
|
Peanut Butter Packets. Assuming she is there to sell Girl Scout cookies, Joe tells Peyton he doesn't get the abs he has eating Peanut Butter Packets. He then tells her to punch him, and she does! Of course, she isn't even there to sell cookies.
| When Joe is reading the note and birth certificate, what reason does he have for not believing the note? | The Game Plan
|
Anybody could have written it.. When Joe reads the note from Peyton's mom, Sara, telling him that Peyton is his daughter, he doesn't believe it. Finding his name on Peyton's birth certificate is a bit easier for Joe to believe. It turns out he is correct, anybody could have written the note. In fact Peyton wrote it.
| Which character is NOT included in Joe's bedtime story? | The Game Plan
|
Little Red Riding Hood. He mixes together all of the stories, and somehow has "the Big Bad Wolf blow down the Grammy's (Red's Grandma) house and eat the Goldilocks." Joe isn't the best story teller. Peyton mentions that a bed time story is supposed to make you feel peaceful and does a great job with her story, causing Joe to fall asleep on the couch.
| Joe takes off from his restaurant opening without Peyton. What song is playing in his car that helps him remember her? | The Game Plan
|
My Girl. While Joe is singing to the song, he notices his helmet in the passenger seat. This almost clues him in, but it doesn't do the trick. Eventually, singing the words "My Girl" long enough helps him to remember Peyton.
Cindy. Joe mentions her name just after Peyton convinces Stella to fire her, and just before she gets fired. Peyton wants to spend time with her father, not with a nanny. Besides, Cindy gets a bit scary when showing her excitement at being picked by Joe to be the nanny. Blondie is what Stella calls her when Joe picks her, Edna is the British nanny that Stella thinks Joe meant, and Camille is Peyton's doll.
| What is the name of the ballet school Peyton goes to? | The Game Plan
|
School of the Boston Ballet. Peyton makes it into the school on pure talent. She missed the auditions by a month, but the teacher decides to see how she does in the class. Peyton does very well and makes it into the school.
Bo. After Joe leaves Peyton at the school for over two hours, Monique brings Peyton to him. Joe is getting a massage and when it is interrupted by Monique and Peyton, Joe thanks the masseur by name.
| The central story of the plot revolves around football star Joe Kingman and Peyton, the daughter he never knew he had. What is Peyton's last name? | The Game Plan
|
Kelly. Although her father is Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) Peyton's last name is that of her mother, Sara Kelly. Peyton is played by Madison Petiss.
Camille. Peyton's doll is named Camille and she seems to go everywhere with Peyton. When Peyton gets Joe to take her shopping she mentions that Camille has her own line of nail polish, and in the next scene we see Joe with nicely painted fingernails.
| Joe enrolls Peyton in a ballet class and gets roped into being in the ballet as well. He finds it more difficult than he imagines and the ballet teacher tells him, "If ballet were easy they would call it _____" What word is missing? | The Game Plan
|
football. Peyton is enrolled in a very prestigious dance school (whose students are played in the movie by actual ballerinas from the Boston Ballet). Her teacher Monique (Roselyn Sanchez) gets angry that Joe feels ballet isn't as difficult as football and gets him to take a part in the school's ballet as an enchanted tree.
