Zahnfee auf Bewährung

This is a cute film. I enjoyed it. I think it did what it was supposed to do, it made me laugh and was easy to watch. One of the few bad things I have to say about it is that it's formulaic, a little long and you know what the outcome will be before it gets there. Regardless of that, Dwayne, Julie, Billy and the English fellow do their part to make the film worth while, while Ms. Judd and the child actors make the story come together. There's a fair amount of whimsy and reality which makes it great for children and adults who are children at heart, the little cameo by Seth Macfarlane doesn't hurt either. All it in all it's not the best, but it's not the worst.

I enjoyed watching "The Rock's" new movie. It is a kids' movie and for what it strives to be it fully delivers.

Dwayne Johnson plays a veteran hockey player, that was denied his chance with the pro's due to a shoulder injury. This seems to mark his life and makes him shatter dreams. This reason brings him to be judged by faeries and sentenced to tooth fairy duty. The problems and lessons that occur from now on will make him rethink his way of life and put it in order.

Great film for the kids, good film to watch if you are an adult. Recommend it if you want to sit down for a few moments and have a few good laughs.

Looking at the low rating and the reviews, I saw Tooth Fairy expecting very little. I actually got a movie that was better than expected. Sure it has got flaws, the story is thin and formulaic, some of the script while having some nice laughs in it is rather silly at times and some scenes are a little rushed, the ending especially could've had more time to breathe. However, the film does look very nice, the scenery and cinematography are quite striking and while not award-worthy the effects don't do much to harm the film. The soundtrack also has a magical sensation to it, the film is cute and has some nice messaging and morals without feeling too forced or sugary sweet and the cast including Dwayne Johnson(surprisingly good), Ashley Judd and my favourite Julie Andrews give it their all. In conclusion, a decent little movie that doesn't try to be any more than it is. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I got this on DVD as a Christmas present as I love a lot of fantasy movies like Enchanted,Shrek,Aquamarine not to mention the classic Disney movie Beauty & the Beast so I decided to check it out. Tooth Fairy stars ex WWE man The Rock (aka Dwanye Johnson)who plays Derek Thompson a ice hockey player who goes as "The Tooth Fairy". That night he tells his girlfriend's(Ashley Judd)daughter that tooth fairies don't exist but when he gets a cheque saying that he is in bail for 2 weeks he turns into a tooth fairy complete with a tutu(yeah a dude in tutu how hysterical can it get keep reading on). The head of the fairies world is of course played by Julie Andrews who looks fabulous here tells Derek that if he keeps telling kids that tooth fairies don't exist their world will be gone forever.

The problem I had with this movie was that there wasn't enough of gags and I felt like watching The Mighty Ducks meets Toothless(you know the one with Kirstie Alley)over and over again. I was disappointed that there wasn't enough of screen time with Billy Crystal(from WHEN HARRY MET SALLY)as he was only in it for like 5 minutes and then its all about Dwanye Johnson shining his gnashers for most of the film. Another was that it was kinda dull in some places.I suggest the movies that I mentioned below are a lot better. But still Tooth Fairy wasn't a bad flick but it wouldn't be my all time favorite as it was kinda lame. This film is definitely suitable for 4 year olds not for a 19 year old girl like me.

5/10

This was another silly time filler I decided to spend time watching with my movie theatre working friend. It stars Dwayne Johnson as a hockey player who gets the title nickname because of the teeth he knocks out when he scores. But when he nearly tells the daughter of a woman he's dating (Ashley Judd) what he thinks of that fairy tale, he gets summoned by a caseworker named Tracy (Stephen Merchant) to the head of Tooth Fairyland (Julie Andrews) for a two week penance of becoming one. Billy Crystal shows up as someone who provides all the material to become the tooth fairy. I'll stop there and just say there's some funny moments between Crystal and Johnson and quite a few with the former Rock and this Tracy person. And Andrews brings some stern yet gentle authority to her role. And there are some good lessons for the kiddies in the audience. So in summation, no great shakes, but Tooth Fairy is okay filler for 90 or so minutes...
