    With Santa Claus, there's territorial boundaries involved, which preclude the appearance of any potential transgression between the tooth fairy and his client. For starters, Santa is situated in the living room, where he eats the cookies and drinks the milk, then climbs back up the chimney. It's the children who do the spying, not the other way around. Santa doesn't enter bedrooms, unlike the tooth faeries, male(!) tooth faeries, that Lily(Julie Andrews) recruits into her guild: grown men in effeminate ballerina outfits who reach under children's pillows and leave behind a dollar bill, hopefully, for just the tooth. Whereas no background search appears to be needed for Derek(Dwayne Johnson), a journeyman hockey player doing time for a second-rate minor league hockey team(shades of "Bull Durham), Ziggy(Seth McFarland), on the other hand, a colleague who sells Derek black market tooth faerie paraphernalia, seems decidedly less clean-cut, hardly the sort of man any parent would want hovering above their unconscious child. In "Tooth Fairy", a sort of "Men in Baby Blue"(it borrows liberally from the Will Smith vehicle), parents apparently aren't the purveyors of magic, the ones who ante up the buck to facilitate the tooth faerie myth, since magic exists. That's the conceit put forward by one group of writers: the presumption that some stranger will break into homes to provide a service for those parting ways with their baby teeth. Another group of writers, however, ignorant to the movie's most fundamental rule(tooth faeries exist), have it both ways, in an incongruous scene where some father enacts the tooth faerie role, therefore relegating the whole profession back to the world of make-believe, because it's parents all along, who provide their offspring with magic.

    Tooth fairy has some cleaver diologe but it doesnt make up for the ending that a 5 year old could figure out. Tooth fairy is strictly a rental and many people over 14 really wont like this movie.

    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

    This movie is like a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the movie industry. Dwayne Johnson is super bad in this one. He looks weird and ridiculous when he acts in this film. The plot went nowhere in the Sahara Desert. Whoever will watch this film will experience the aftermath of watching this earthquake-like film..................

    The Tooth Fairy is a painful mess. The story is unimaginative and has a few plot holes. Dwayne Johnson didn't provide a good performance, which hurt it even more.

    That Disney touch (which even Disney has trouble replicating) is missing. Even the hockey is unconvincing.
  2. The comedy is so lame that the whole enterprise comes across as depressing.
  3. Focus. Tooth Fairy isn't as bad as you may have feared. It's not all that good, either, but at least it's possible to sit through it and hold down your popcorn.
