Larry the Cable guy is great as stand-up, but when it comes to live acting movies, they're some of the worst ever, which may not be saying much. And I highly doubt many children actually know who Larry The Cable Guy comedian but the thing is the makers had to use him since they can't get anyone else. He stars as Larry who gets sent up to 'tooth heaven' to bring in 10 pieces of children's teeth otherwise his most cherished memory is going to be deleted from his head and out of his memory. And at the same time Larry's also fighting for the affection of a girl he's attracted to a much younger gentleman who's running for mayor. Intended for the simple minded and 8 year olds who love everything whatever is put on. Bomb.
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.
Ten teeth in ten days sounds impossible for a brand new tooth fairy helper, right? Well Larry Guithery, played by Larry the Cable Guy, makes it possible. He is on a mission but not just any mission, a mission to restore faith in the tooth fairy and to keep his best memory. This is an enjoyable movie. There isn't a dull moment or a moment when I did not laugh.
The main characters in this film include Larry Guithery (Larry the Cable Guy; Cars 1 and Cars 2). Other main characters are Beauregard "Bo" Billings (David Mackey), Brook (Erin Beute), and the adorable tooth fairy, Nyx (Bradley Reiter). All of the tooth fairy costumes are out of this world. When I saw Larry Guithery (Larry the Cable Guy) in a pink tutu and tights , I started to laugh my head off! This is one of my favorite costumes and scenes.
I recommend this movie for ages 5-12. If parents watch this movie with their kids, they will find it to be funny and a good story. These ages would like this film because of the jokes and comedy. Tooth Fairy 2 ranges from physical and exaggerated comedy to romance and love. There are things like "fart" jokes and funny dancing that even made my mom and I laugh. I knew from the moment I saw Larry the Cable Guy that this movie would be hilarious and I was right.
Even though some of the silly jokes do not fully grab my attention this movie makes me laugh out loud. I give Tooth Fairy 2 , four stars. This film comes out in DVD on March 6, 2012. So if you are in the mood for some comedy or if you are a fan of Larry the Cable Guy, mark your calendar for the premiere of Tooth Fairy 2.
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?
