Rough-and-tumble hockey player Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson) is a terror on the ice, earning the nickname "Tooth Fairy" by separating opposing players from their choppers. When Derek dashes the dreams of a young fan, he is quickly sentenced to serve time as a real tooth fairy, complete with wings and magic wand. Though he can't "handle the tooth" at first, Derek's new job helps him to slowly rediscover the dreams that he gave up long ago.

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.

Tooth Fairy is an amazing movie. Tooth Fairy is a very funny comedy, and I LOVE comedy. Also the Tooth Fairy is very interesting. But what puzzles me about this movie is how this movie got a 17% for critics and a 41% for audience. Tooth Fairy might be very silly, but it is really fun and funny. I think Tooth Fairy is an amazing movie, it really doesn't deserve bad reviews. Tooth Fairy needs higher reviews for critics and audience. What a good movie.

This sports comedy was pretty good. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, Stephen Merchant, Chase Ellison, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's about realizing that dreams are good and you should never give up on them. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you may enjoy it. It wasn't as bad as most people say it was. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie got. Those people have terrible tastes in movies.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!! this movie had an amazing plot and it was hilarious, the jokes were making me knee slap. Dwayne is just so funny. The movie has really good editing as well. If i could give this more than 5 starts i would. Also Dwayne looked really cute in his little pink dress. However, terry, the really tall fairy, did scare me.

So, for adults, the best that can be said for Tooth Fairy is that it's funnier than the awful trailer.

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

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

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

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....
