Tooth Fairy

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.

Utterly charming gem that will be enjoyed and understood by every parent.

I've not been overly impressed by the theatre offerings to date but this is a real winner and one that all the family can enjoy and even gather round the monitor en famille on Xmas day to have a spirited chuckle over.

Mother and daughter are well cast and Chris Noth perfectly captures the dilemma of a dad determined to keep the Tooth Fairy faith, no matter what the obstacle course he has to follow. Having him break for a frustrated rattle on the drum kit is a stroke of genius.

No less brilliant is having jeffrey preston bezos *himself* make a vanity cameo appearance as the patrol officer who mutters, "what a loser!". i must go back and review each movie in case this 'easter egg' is characteristic of them all.

just goes to show - it's easier to take time out in the beginning for the people who are important to you instead of having to make it up to them later. we often take the people closest to us for granted so it's nice to be reminded that there are more important things in life.

the movie use a simple activity that just about every person has experienced to make a wonderful point. there is almost nothing as innocent and sweet as a child waiting for the tooth fairy to show up. the father was so busy that he wasn't paying attention to his family, especially his daughter, so he needed to be taught a lesson. also, it was nice to see a multicultural family. the little girl was adorable! plus - i love Chris Noth!

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!

"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.
