As a football player at the University of Miami, The Rock dreamed of making it to the NFL. Before he broke into action movies, he yearned to do comedy. So it wasn't as big of a stretch as it might seem to cast him in this movie about a superstar quarterback whose bachelor lifestyle is flipped upside down by a 7-year-old girl (Madison Pettis) claiming to be his daughter. Johnson's own 6-year-old approves. ''None of what I did was remotely interesting to her until I did a Disney movie,'' he says. ''Now, Daddy's really cool.''
