What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dwayne Johnson brings the full force of his charm (and his appropriately pale chompers) to the title role, but flat direction and a committee-written script render The Tooth Fairy unacceptably dull.

Anna Smith metro.co.uk So, for adults, the best that can be said for Tooth Fairy is that it's funnier than the awful trailer. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard It has a terrible screenplay and you get the feeling that Johnson could be a much better light comedian than this, given a better chance. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2010 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins These films are all about sticking to a generic template, one in which a generally decent guy does a lot of bad things and must then redeem himself. Rated: 4/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com This is one film where families, especially those with small children, should ignore the critics and simply give in to the silliness of it all. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews This is an obvious labor of love for the filmmakers and their collective eye for capturing the beauty, grace and, often, humor of their many dances (with Dom and Fiona) with geometric precision....
