Toothless

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

This movie is really not one of the greatest movies around...but it can really grab a hold of ya, has a wonderful lesson that WE ALL can learn from, is very funny...yet at the same time there are some serious moments.

Its enough to bring out anyones inner child! One minute I was laughing hysterically...the next a tear ran down my cheek.

It has a mix of emotions! Ill put it this way...it will have you thinking afterwords.

Language for this movie is pretty good. I would say kids of all ages can watch this movie.

It shouldn't. The plot has huge gaping holes in it. The special effects are definitely substandard. Most of the characters border on caricature. But somehow the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

A dentist (Kirstie Alley) who has never really gotten involved with life dies and goes, not to heaven, but Limbo and there, while awaiting judgment, must perform community service. She inadvertently signs up to be the Tooth Fairy and, oh, what a grumpy fairy she is! However, during her time as the Tooth Fairy she develops a relationship with a young boy mourning the loss of his mother and finds, to her surprise, a capacity to love and sacrifice that she didn't know she had.

Ms. Alley carries the film with her exuberant and funny performance tinged with a bit of sadness that comes through in a few crucial scenes. However, most of it is just wacky fun. Her scene where she chews out the Easter Bunny is a hoot and I laugh out loud every time I watch her histrionics during her judgment.

Don't expect a great film but rather an enjoyable one. (After all some of the "great" films aren't really that much fun to watch)

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..

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.
