Fée malgré lui 2

DAD GUM. This movie is like a live action Cars 2 with newfangled jokes from that Cable the Larry Guy. Definitely a must watch. Probably. Great for the whole family I guess.

Hey! I was told I didn't need to see part 1 before seeing part 2, but part 1 has The Rock, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews (?!) And this one has the single biggest reason Cars 2 is the all-time WORST Pixar movie.

Eh. It's harmless. I'm shocked it was rated PG and not G. This is absolutely meant for the under 5 crowd...which is why I awarded this movie 5/10. It's perfect for that age group.

Not to mention, it's good this WASN'T an adult-version of the fairy tale. It would be A LOT creepier with this enormously hairy and dirty middle-aged man sneaking into kid's rooms at night - not to mention randomly hugging and kissing random kids unrelated to him. Also, there would be SO MANY scenes of homophobia, I would've demanded my rental price back.

Larry the Cable Guy does no cable work here but he does turn into the title character because he inadvertently made a child not believe in the Tooth Fairy. Meanwhile, he's trying to mature to win back his ex from the film's mustache-twirling villain.

Admittedly, I am NOOOO Larry the Cable Guy fan, nor any of his redneck brethren but he did fine here for the material given to him (and again for the age demographic.) I will say, they really needed to avoid any closeups of his disgustingly dirty hands and so much body hair. The rest of the cast is fine, though I really didn't like the character he's wooing. Larry had the chance to win a brand-new car, but to do so may have caused the couple to be a few minutes late to a 1-year-old's birthday party. The kid can wait, for Pete's sake. Also didn't help they had ZERO chemistry.

There are MANY plot holes and inconsistences, granted. Still, it's a toddler movie, so maybe it wouldn't matter to the kids? Actually, I don't agree with that. The script did need just one more re-write and then the parents wouldn't have to explain to their kids why so flaws were obvious.

Again, it's sitcom, Rated-G humor and I'm sure toddlers will find this very amusing. Heck, I even laughed a couple of times. Reminded me so much of the love I had for Ernest P. Worrell and his first four movies when I was a kid.

Final Thoughts: And talk about true love. This movie and its original always flew under the radar for me. Not my type of movies I suppose. But my love asked me to watch this for the message. Now, I'm still trying to find the message... Just kidding! It's about chicken and if you eat enough of it, you'll turn into a fairy. Well, Tooth Fairy, anyways. I think that's the morale. Or dilemma. What did I just watch?

This movie did get good reviews on the Internet, but personally, I have my own feeling about this unusual sequel. I did like the part where he grew those pink wings in his mobile home, though. The movie had okay effects, but they just didn't turn out the way I thought they were going to. I did enjoy the movie, but it just didn't suit me like the first one did. I wonder if they'll make a prequel called Tooth Fairy 3? Who knows what people do these days. I saw the movie in the mall and decided to blow my money on this unusual motion picture. The way I see it, movies don't always turn out the way they should. Sometimes I buy DVDs and Bluray movies on Amazon.com or even eBay, and then I see it and say either Wow, that movie was amazing or that film needs work! I occasionally preorder DVDs Books or CDs that I know will be popular. I do like Daedaulus DVDs, as I like other ordering catalogs, like Oriental Trading, and ordering sites, like Amazon (My Favorite) and eBay (my other favorite). Amazon has amazing prices for their DVDs and great prices when it comes to Preordering. That's how I retold my version of "Motion Pictures"!

I was looking for a funny, undemanding movie; something that would cheer up someone recovering from an illness, for instance. "Tooth Fairy 2" fits the bill. I am not a huge fan of Larry the Cable Guy, but he does a nice job here working as a "temp" tooth fairy. He winds up drenched in pink (not his favorite color) but manages to graduate from a tutu to overalls. The pink baseball cap is a nice touch.

Not only does Larry have a tight deadline to meet with regards to collecting teeth, but he has to win his girlfriend back and convince a kid to believe in the Tooth Fairy again. Does he accomplish all this? Let's just say everything ends happily. This isn't Citizen Kane, but if you're in the mood for it this movie is a lot of fun. Recommended.

Just a comedy film, well acted, well written, good supporting characters, not the best or anything special at all, but fortunately devoid of some Hollywood horrors that this new generation of family- friendly writers cram into everything they can get their hands on;

So, Larry, the "cable guy", is a southern hick, a good guy but not the brightest bulb in the box, and one day he gets transformed into a tooth fairy; simple, non ?

This is a not-serious film (duh), and it's got all the "safe" script choices for a comedy, avoiding the overly-PC but also all the sex jokes, but the result isn't middle-of-the-road in any way, it's funny and enjoyable if you accept the premise and the fact that you decided to watch a silly movie. Acting is also decent (i have seen MUCH worse - the supporting characters in Father of Invention come to mind), decent direction, writing and storyboard (tho the bassoon-heavy soundtrack is really annoying).

Now, i love silly movies, (i love serious ones too) and a little escapism sometimes is needed. And Tooth Fairy 2 has in spades of escapism, so if it's a easy comedy you are looking for, this film is for you.

Yeah you can rent this film safely, it won't be horrible, my word. (mind you, i liked a lot of silly films, like NATM, Awesomest Maximus, Meet the Spartans .. etc )

My final vote - 6/10 and not bad.
