Anche i dentisti vanno in paradiso

Catherine (Kirstie Alley) was born to follow in her dentist-father's footsteps. She does become a dentist and establishes a successful practice. However, she only has a few close friends and does not pursue the men who might glance her way. Catherine is more likely to spend an evening watching videos and eating popcorn than on a date. One day, she becomes the victim in a serious auto accident and ends up "in limbo", that is in a halfway station between heaven and hell! She is given the job of Tooth Fairy in order for heaven's authorities to make a further determination about which direction she should go. As Tooth Fairy, she not only learns to do a good job but also begins to realize what she missed out on in life. What will be her final destination? This is a darling family film. Alley is one fine comic performer and a lovely one at that. She looks beautiful in her fairy outfit and dances her way through the heavens to find her young charges. The plot is fun and the supporting actors, especially child-actor Ross M., are very fine. If you want to sit your family down to a film that will entertain both children and adults, in grand fashion, this is an outstanding choice. It has humor and good messages, with bite, that will put every viewer in a good, good mood indefinitely.

I have not seen this movie since it came out. It was a movie that has been stuck in my mind for six years. I am going to buy this one for my kids on Christmas. (bump,bump,badada,bump,bump) Kristy Alley was the best toothfairy yet. And you cant forget about the easter bunny and cupid either. It is a great movie to boost imaginations. And will be in my family for a long time..

a great concept, the acting of the characters is very well done. kristie alley is especially lovable in this role, as we all know someone exactly like her, usually ourselves. this film will allow the viewer to divert himself from whatever ails him at the time. excellent film, well done.

This film is really uplifting and a great kids film. The little tune that the tooth fairy sings sticks in your head for ours after you watch it. Dah Dah, Dah da da da, Dah Dah. She has been sent to limbo to be the tooth fairy and in the usual Kirsty Allie Style, adds zest and humor to the job. I give it 8/10 generally and for a kids film, 9.5/10. Go rent it now!!!

Pretty good movie in which a self-absorbed dentist(Kirstie Alley)who ends up in Limbo after being hit by a car. While waiting in Limbo, she has to work as The Tooth Fairy. She hates her job at first, but ends up getting involved in the lives of the kids. This is a big no-no, because it's against the rules to meddle, and her boss (Played wickedly by Lynn Redgrave)is just itching to have her punished. The Punishment? A one way trip to Hell (In a Hellivator, I guess). In the end, Alley learns to care for others and to allow herself to love. This was actually better than I thought it would be and is fun for all ages. Worth a rental or to add to your collection. Great performances by pretty much everyone and a great directing job by Melanie Mayron.
