I would like to issue a little warning: beware of the positive remarks about this "film" (for lack of a better word) on the user comments page.. they all seem to have come from either the same source or from someone who has never submitted a review before, thus proving my theory that they all come from some non-too-subtle publicist. And that goes for the message board too. Tooth is flopping quite nicely at the UK box office due to it's appalling acting, cheapo special effects and gut-wrenching sentimental moments, and I'd hate to see even one person fooled into going because of one sad person's efforts (Who probably hasn't even sat through this pig-sty of a movie). Thank you. That is all.
i went to see Tooth with 5 of my mates and we thought it was great. The characters are so lovable. You get into the christmas spirit as soon as you watch it. I thought that the storyline was really good, as i do not know any other films that are based on the Tooth Fairy. There are loads of jokes in it. especially form Harry Enfield (Plug).
i thought that Tooth was amazing as well as Tom and Tolly. This is some of the best children acting i have seen. As you can tell that they all are having a great time, and have bags of energy.
I loved the rabbit. Jim Broadbent does an amazing job as the rabbits voice. i also loved the quad bike races.
Tooth has many lovely scenes. i can not wait till it is out on dvd. And the last line of the film is one of my favourite.
"Magic is deep inside us all... ... Like a Kidney"

This kind of kids film should be left to Hollywood. They know how to do them properly, and are willing to cough up an adequate budget.
Tooth has been made on a shoestring and it shows. Its been shot on what appears to be an abandoned airfield in Essex using whatever was left lying around as props; and while its quite clearly set in England, the cast of British actors are forced to adopt feeble American accents and pretend the whole farrago's taking place in some nameless US city.
I assume the producers imagine this will make it saleable to the Americans.
The story's about a Tooth Fairy called Tooth and her quest to bring back the magic that the fairies have lost, but the writers clearly aren't convinced that's a strong enough storyline because they've chucked Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny into the mix to create a confusing, patchwork plot that's neither rewarding nor entertaining.
Harry Enfield's the star of this mess, and he's about as funny as Steve Martin is these days.
I thought kids films of this quality vanished with Screen Test and The Childrens Film Foundation - clearly I was wrong.

The real question about this film, is how it ever got to be made. The narrative line is disjointed and confusing, after all, why is a talking rabbit driving a white van, why does the mum, Sally Philips, have an American accent, albeit as bad an American accent as Dick Van Dyke's cockney one, yet the husband is clearly English, though for no good reason, a spaced out wide boy/failed pop star. As for the kids - it's not quite clear where they were brought up, except possibly somewhere in the mid-Atlantic. Then what is the strange animal in the cage and why is Harry Enfield even in the film. There's Richard E.Grant, once again compensating for an apparent lack of direction by extravagantly overplaying an otherwise formless character - and Jerry Hall, barely acting any more than she did as Lady Jagger - the pair apparently delivering a formidable fusillade of the golf balls with machine gun rapidity and accuracy - thus confounding the villains for all of two minutes. And what about Vinny Jones, as the tooth fury - one moment like the villain who screwed Gazza's nuts, and the next a mewling soft touch for the none too cute juvenile leads.
This dreadful farrago must have cost millions of pounds to make - I don't recall it making any impression on initial release, let alone making it out on to general release - and it should not have been hard to ascertain the total lack of potential at the script stage and saved everyone a lot of money, and spared the rest of us an excruciatingly awful film.

Yesterday I went to see this film, mainly because last year I had started writing a children's book about a tooth fairy world and wondered how it could have turned out. I am a 23 year old, but enjoy children's films too, and after seeing Harry Enfield on This Morning suggesting that it had a lot of gags for adults too, I was looking forward to it.
How wrong could I be! It had a good cast, but had no real story, appeared to be dull and dreary, couldn't decided which country it was set in (US Dollars and British pennies apparently making up the currency), couldn't decide which decade it was shot in and had no likable characters whatsoever.
Please do go and make up your own mind, I want other people to see it just to know how much you wish it was over.
I am going to leave it at that before my blood pressure shoots up again!
