Anche i dentisti vanno in paradiso

I'll repeat what I felt was so true from one of the comments. "The whole of it is better that the sum of it's parts" I only caught the last 3/4 of it (I guess), as it was screened on good Friday in Sydney whilst having a little lunch. I had a good time with it and it did not spoil my sandwiches. Fast paced, no nonsense about its nonsense because it's there purposely, it's simple and everyone do their bit to make it work smoothly. Unpretentious just there to entertain and if you don't mind, to think a little as well. So gross you have to be blind no to see the deliberation in it. Yet as said before it works and judging from the comment The "Yes" take it from the "No" I understand it's not compulsory to make people to like it, but what puzzles me it why on earth some people disliked it so much, presumably watched the whole thing, and even took the trouble to put a comment, but not the trouble to look at Kirstie Alley name to write it correctly. (Not that I am an expert speller and did double check my own spelling for the exercise). If you're not obsessed with reality and don't mind a little dream and fun and light entertainment - go for it. mm

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.

This movie was a great show of Kristy ally's personality. I loved how she played her character. OK so i might let a bit of the story out in this, but i feel that if you want to see it badly enough the bits i give out will just inspire you to view the movie. It is a great Comedy as well as a movie that pulls at the heart strings. It shows how a woman has to come to grips with things she has put aside because of her career and realizes that love is possible. Through the multiple children and the parents she interacts with it shows her the lesson she was meant to learn. I think it was a great movie. I highly recommend this to mothers and daughters to watch, together.

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.

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!!!
