In this hilarious and heartwarming father-daughter sports fantasy, everything changes when Callie A. Coleman (Marsai Martin) discovers she can magically control her father, Bobby's (Omari Hardwick) performance on the football field. When Callie plays as her dad, a running back for the Atlanta Falcons, in EA SPORTS™' "Madden NFL 23," Bobby is transformed from a fumblitis-plagued journeyman to a star running back bound for superstardom alongside his daughter and wife Keisha (Kelly Rowland). With the NFL Playoffs looming and the pressures of Callie's new commitment to her friends on the robotics team mounting, the two must forge ahead to keep the magic a secret as they juggle the highs and lows of their newfound success, all as they rediscover what it really means to be a family.

Although the film... can be lightly charming, it is mostly perfunctory.

Except for the incessant product placement, this cable-ready concoction is an inoffensive but instantly disposable piece of juvenile football fluff.

By the fourth quarter, it becomes strained and predictable, ultimately fumbling before reaching the goal line.

3/5

This feel-good but predictable comedy features a likable cast that diverts attention away from the story's narrative potholes.

B-

The weirdness of it all isn’t unappealing, just tiring as the effort moves into a labored third act.

Even though I'm a Jaguars/Falcons fan, I like this movie and that movie premiered on Paramount Plus on me and my Twin bro's 13th Birthday/Black Friday. No Wonder why Critics despise this movie. That Tomatometer better rise to about 60% and the Popcorn Meter will go from Hot or Verified Hot ASAP! No Cap?

The main character Callie is a snob mean girl who you do not want to watch neither follow. Plot was promising but she ruined it.

Cute kids film. Marsai is a natural in front of the camera and I loved her chemistry with both Kelly Rowland & Omari Hardwick as her parents. The storyline involving her school friends was predictable and annoying, but that comes with most of these kid fantasy films. Overall, a decent family film and worth a watch with kids.

It's a dumb predictable nickelodeon movie. What else should I have expected? It's not SpongeBob or anything creatively new unfortunately. It's a failed football player whose daughter controls her dads moves on the field through a video game. The concept is cool but the execution is horrible. Nov 26 22
