Really Surprised!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I don't know what's with the poor IMDb score but I found this movie to be super cute. I don't know what people expect. It was humorous and quite adorable. This is a feel good movie that teaches kids to reach for the stars and follow their dreams. Good message. It is a little incongruous that such a strong man would play in a role basically feminine and this adds to the hilarity. I almost didn't recognize Ashley Judd. she looks a little different but maybe it's just cuz she is older. Don't listen to the bad reviews if your expectations are a movie that kids will enjoy. They sure make you write enough just to leave a review. It's definitely worth watching if you have kids.

So this is not a great movie, and it will never be mistaken for one. I'd agree with that assessment. But it is kind of cute and it is very silly, and when you look at it as a movie that's basically there to appeal to kids (because there's really nothing in it for adults) you have to at least concede that cute and silly is not a bad combination for a kids movie. So this may not be great, but it's not really bad, in that it serves its purpose: it's a kid-friendly movie. Nothing wrong with that.Now, from an adult's point of view, the story which revolves around hockey player Derek Thompson - played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - being sentenced to work as a tooth fairy for a couple of weeks as punishment for "disseminating disbelief" is pretty lame and the performances are generally forgettable. I was completely unconvinced of the need for the hockey angle, and frankly it was done badly. The on ice action was poorly portrayed (although the scene in which Thompson takes his revenge on the 18 year old whiz kid - Ryan Sheckler - was pretty funny) and, really, how could Thompson play 9 seasons without a single shot? 9 seasons without a goal maybe, but this guy seemed to get enough ice time, at least as an enforcer and bodyguard for his team's better players, so somewhere along the lines he's going to pick up the odd rebound and get a shot.This is mildly humorous every now and then, and considering how silly it really is it has some surprisingly recognizable faces in the cast - including Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal. I'd give it a 4/10 - but it's not a bad choice to sit down and watch this with your kids.

I got this on DVD as a Christmas present as I love a lot of fantasy movies like Enchanted,Shrek,Aquamarine not to mention the classic Disney movie Beauty & the Beast so I decided to check it out. Tooth Fairy stars ex WWE man The Rock (aka Dwanye Johnson)who plays Derek Thompson a ice hockey player who goes as "The Tooth Fairy". That night he tells his girlfriend's(Ashley Judd)daughter that tooth fairies don't exist but when he gets a cheque saying that he is in bail for 2 weeks he turns into a tooth fairy complete with a tutu(yeah a dude in tutu how hysterical can it get keep reading on). The head of the fairies world is of course played by Julie Andrews who looks fabulous here tells Derek that if he keeps telling kids that tooth fairies don't exist their world will be gone forever.The problem I had with this movie was that there wasn't enough of gags and I felt like watching The Mighty Ducks meets Toothless(you know the one with Kirstie Alley)over and over again. I was disappointed that there wasn't enough of screen time with Billy Crystal(from WHEN HARRY MET SALLY)as he was only in it for like 5 minutes and then its all about Dwanye Johnson shining his gnashers for most of the film. Another was that it was kinda dull in some places.I suggest the movies that I mentioned below are a lot better. But still Tooth Fairy wasn't a bad flick but it wouldn't be my all time favorite as it was kinda lame. This film is definitely suitable for 4 year olds not for a 19 year old girl like me.5/10

'TOOTH FAIRY': One Star (Out of Five) Duayne 'The Rock' Johnson stars as a 'has been' minor league hockey player known as 'The Tooth Fairy', for his violent tooth breaking hockey antics, who is sentenced to serving one week as a real 'tooth fairy' for demoralizing kids. The film is of course ridiculously bad with the exceptions of some small comedic performances from Stephen Merchant and Seth MacFarlane and a few somewhat touching inspirational moments, besides that everything feels forced, by the numbers and completely over the top.The most disappointing thing about the movie is the continuing decay of the once great action star Johnson, who used to make some rather good action films (like 'THE RUNDOWN' and 'WALKING TALL') now he just makes one bad 'sell-out' kids movie after another. Even if his action films weren't as big at the box office as his kids' films that's still no excuse; Van Damme and Seagal are still making several multimillion dollar paychecks on low budget mostly direct to video action films that still make a killer profit. They know how to still do what they do best and make decent money at it without selling out (and some of their films are still just as good if not better than their old ones). 'The Rock' needs to get his head together and return to doing what he does best before it's too late.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95Zjdlcbe0
