    Good fun movie. My daughter laughed a lot and had a blast. the Rock has quietly put himself into a stereotype roll now. This a fun feel good movie made for the younger generation.

    Im starting to think that if Dwayne Johnson wants to be taken seriously as a hollywood actor that he should probably stay away from these kid movies.
    Yes this is a cute and amsusing movie as was The Game Plan but they truly are children movies.
    Good cast,slightly amusing but its ... read morenot that great!

    I thought THE GAME PLAN was absolutely, with no doubt the worst Dwayne Johnson movie targeted at little ones. I almost fainted when I saw this because of how wrong I was. You know how they always say, "This is the movie you definitely don't want to miss"? Well, here's somethin... read moreg for you: This is the movie you definitely don't want to see. It's the lamest, stupidest family "comedy" (?), and it won't even get so much as a simple "ha" out of you.

    'Feeling good' kind of movie with some heart-breaking scenes that encourage us to not stop dreaming and believing. They are good! Dwayne Johnson is marvelous in this funny movie. A movie that should be watch by anyone who stop believing in dreams.

    There's one reason I had much interest in seeing this to begin with: The Rock is in it, and I'd thoroughly enjoyed every movie I'd seen him in. I still had to think about it, because the trailers made it seem so childish and silly, from what I remembered. As I often do with films... read more (and other things in life in general), I found out I was wrong. This movie has several parts that'll make you laugh, and it has what most films of this type also have: good moral lessons to be reminded of, and inspiring parts (like when The Rock makes up with the family and when he scores his first goal in 9 seasons). So it's really nothing new, but I'm a fool for feel-good movies and drama films that work, which this one does. The streak of Dwayne Johnson films I like continues...and don't judge the film or make assumptions of what you'd think of it before you see it!

    There are bad movies and good movies, this is way worse than bad movies, this doesn't belong in a family household.
  • March 6, 2011
    The idea of Rock wearing a tutu was just... weird (not funny). And seeing it? Don't ask. They tried too hard to make it funny. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it seemed stupid. The movie does have some messages to learn from. But I think most of the people will back away. A... read morend I also think that Rock could do much better than this. He's funny. But not this type please.

    With witty humor, a cheesy plot, and laughable dialogue, I never thought I would ever say this, but The Tooth Fairy is actually good. I enjoyed every bit of it even though it was full of moments that will have you role your eyes. Dwayne Johnson has never been quirkier, but to be ... read morehonest, that is a very good thing. I was able to see past any and every little hint of dissatisfaction, and create the fairy world that the filmmakers tried to bring to life. The Tooth Fairy actually has a few great emotional moments and an ending that will make anyone smile, which is why I say not to hesitate to watch this, but go into it with a childs mind. If you follow this step, you will definitely enjoy this harmless kids film!
  • June 3, 2010
    Silly, minor comedy with an unnecessary mean streak running through it. Dwayne Johnson has a lot of charisma but he's wasting it in a string of asisine films like this one and The Game Plan. Julie Andrews effortlessly adds some much needed class to the production but the less sai... read mored about Billy Crystal's overplayed cameo the better.

    Do I really have to tell you about this movie? Do I really? It's The Rock in a tu-tu. Remember when Hulk Hogan did that twenty years ago with Mr. Jefferson? Yeah, it's the same sort of premise. Big, burly guy goes way out of his element, but ends up shining. That's all I'm going ... read moreto say besides kids will like it. I can't really go on. Sorry.

Tooth Fairy makes the mistake of having too many anxious hockey players remain on the ice after their shift has ended. Full Review

Like most family films nowadays, the movie squanders a lot of energy righteously huffing and puffing its message: let kids dream. Full Review

As dental experiences go, Tooth Fairy doesn't hurt as much as you might think. Full Review

The marvelously handsome wrestler-turned-actor -- proving once again better than the material he takes -- dons tights and a baby-blue satin tunic in the slight family comedy Tooth Fairy. Full Review

The problem is, Derek is not redeemable. Even after he's been to magic fairy land, he continues to behave like a jerk, because that is the natural state of his being. Full Review

One of the film's charms is the way it carries childhood mythology to its logical, if absurd extreme. Full Review

Basically, if you've seen the ads, you've seen the only joke in this one-joke movie, although there are also endless groan-worthy gags about wings and teeth. Full Review

Kids won't mind any of The Tooth Fairy's flaws and will find the sight of burly Johnson in a pink tutu hilarious. Parents get a couple of clever gags that will make them forgive the filmmakers. And if... Full Review

Dwayne Johnson in shiny tights. Dwayne Johnson throwing around magic pixie dust. Dwayne Johnson flying around like a clumsy Tinkerbell. Wait. You're still not laughing? Full Review
