Oct 1 2007 - 6:30am In a surprising turn of events — even for people behind the movie itself —
The Game Plan, a PG-rated family-friendly flick starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, came in at
No. 1 at the box office this weekend. The Disney movie far outpaced the action-war film
The Kingdom, which took in $17.7 million and the No. 2 spot.

I'll probably never go see "The Kingdom" for the simple fact that I would never support anything Jamie Foxx does. He just disgusts me, from his comments backing Michael Vick to his diva-like behavior, he just totally turns me off.
1Hmm, I guess I just don't think like that. To me, that's like never watching football again because of Michael Vicks. So many OTHER people worked together to make The Kingdom, from headliners Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman (both of whom I love) to the gaffers and makeup artists and production assistants that you never hear about. And granted, those unsung contributors will probably get about half a cent of what I paid for my ticket, but if I don't go because of Jamie Foxx, then Jamie Foxx has already won.
Incidentally, I did go. I think the lukewarm critical response is a little harsh (53% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes last time I checked but not totally undeserved. I enjoyed it, but it was a little heavy-handed at times.
2*Sigh* I always get depressed when I find out that a stupid-looking movie like this wins at the box office. Then again, it doesn't look like there was much competition. Good Luck Chuck? Resident Evil?
3I really want to see this. I love Rock and Pettis. They're a cute team.
4this is definitely a surprise. but i love kyra sedgwick so YAY! for her
