  • Starring: Ashley Judd, Dwayne Johnson, Julie Andrews
  • Summary: Derek Thompson is a hard-charging hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's dreams, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes...doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams. (20th Century Fox)… Expand

    Dwayne Johnson's energetic performance enlivens an otherwise by-the-numbers family comedy.

    British comic Stephen Merchant (Extras), exudes an easier charm as a goofy fairyland caseworker who harbors big dreams of his own.

    The poster’s the funniest thing about the project: Johnson, sporting a pair of fairy wings larger than his forearms, glaring at the camera.

    A pretty rare thing these days- a tasteful,witty and likeable Hollywood kids film! Sure, it's not an all-time classic -there's probably a limit to how good a 'Rock' film' is going to be given his limited acting ability but he's surrounded by a great cast here- Billy Crystal, who should have got more screen time than Stephen Merchant ( who while fine in this -and a better actor than his mate, Ricky Gervase -is probably a bit too acquired a taste for your average child), Julie Andrews and Ashley Judd. It's not without its share of cheesiness but the imaginative fairy-related sequences definitely make this worth seeing for kids and adults with a bit of kid in them still.… Expand
