Tooth Fairy

"Tooth Fairy" was an adorable short film. I was surprised how easily I was pulled into the film. The children were adorable and it was fantastic to see a family that looks just like mine doing exactly the same sort of things that we do! It was really fun to see the "museum quality pieces" everywhere.

I have to admit that even though I'm the mother, it would have been me who had been caught "disposing of" the special gifts. The film gave me a great idea for displaying it. (Admit it, how many times have your children caught you disposing of something "valuable"?) Chris Noth is fabulous in everything he does. I really miss seeing him regularly. I didn't even realize the film was about product placement until I finished viewing it. I told my husband (who is a terrible tooth fairy) that he HAS to watch it.

Well, the Amazon movies have steadily decreased in overall goodness. Seriously, this short film isn't good at all. What's going on? The dad is busy, and somewhat mean, and he finds his daughter's tooth? What was the point of that other than having Chris Noth crawl around a house and show off Amazon's products for the home. Oh wait, that was the point! At least Portrait had a moral. I liked the characters and it was hilarious. Even Agent Orange had a nice ending. What's not to say that this dad, exhausted from his night long search, won't just get up and forget about everything the next day. Heres my question: Why didn't the wife just do it? The dad was already up fixing the sink, and now he's got to deal with this? Stop being lazy! Maybe I'm reading to much into this, but I just think that this is the worst one yet.

OK...not haute cinema but I did like it. Chris Noth did a excellent job as "the Dad". There were many nice little touches. The supporting cast was good, truly supporting and not intrusive. The product placement was nearly invisible. Thankfully, they do not hit you over the head with it. Amazon.com's series of "artful commericals" is quite appealing to me. It is fresh and different. It is catching my eye.

I especially enjoyed the theme of what to do with your child's artwork, trash compactor or frame each and every "piece".

This short was quick, clever and amusing. The things that I look for in a short film.

Well done.

I think Chris Noth did a wonderful job in portraying the lengths a loving father would go to make sure his daughter can continue to believe in the magic of the tooth fairy. It was also nice to see an inter-racial couple as this aspect of American life is too often ignored in the entertainment field. The hiding places were clever, especially the fish tank and "under something blue" - things a small child would think of. The music was perfect - childlike but fit the actions the actor was taking - and the house looked like a real house - not a set. All parents have played a variation of this game at some point with their kids - it brought a smile to my lips - thanks!

I really liked this short film. 4 stars out of 5 (for 5 stars I would need to see a feature length television movie). Chris Noth is great as a dad who tries his best to please his kids. The rest of the cast/family are a perfect addition to this short flick and the show is a realistic portrayal of how one's family may react in this particular situation. The daughter and son are perfect examples of modern day children, in a modern day suburb, and the mother/wife compliments the portrayal of a dad who sometimes really needs to get a clue. Mother was wonderful, but hooray for Dad. He did his best!
