To me, this movie is perfection.

Great Film overall

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Tooth Fairy is actually an entertaining family film. It's a good movie to watch if you're fed up with the excessive swear words in movies. Tooth Fairy has clean dialogue, okay performances, good directing, and has a positive message.

Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson) is a minor league hockey goon known as 'The Tooth Fairy' for knocking out opponents' tooth. He's dating single mom Carly (Ashley Judd). With his cynicism, he tells kids the brutal 'truth'. After he tells Carly's daughter that there is no real tooth fairy, he receives a Notice of Violation from the Department of Dissemination of Disbelief. Tracy (Stephen Merchant) is his case worker. Head fairy Lily (Julie Andrews) doubles the normal one week sentence.The good news is that The Rock is willing to look silly. That goes a long way but it is not enough. He should be paired up with a nice comedian. Merchant is too mean-spirited which only doubles Thompson's cynicism. It shouldn't be a sarcastic supervisor but rather a super cheery partner who could bring out his optimism. On top that, there is the angry teen and the jerk young gun. There are just a lot of unlikable characters. The jokes don't really work and that's as simple as that. Despite it all, The Rock's natural charisma does come thru.

There's quite a lot to like in this fun comedy, but I'm an adult who usually goes for Tarantino or Fellini. There's also quite a lot that is a bit painful. One liners playing on the word 'tooth' for starters!There's some inspired casting - not just the Rock but Stephen Merchant and Julie Andrews. It was Merchant, all 6'7" (his character has him as 6'9"!) ganglyness of him as Dwayne Johnson's (The Tooth Fairy) fairy probation officer that kept me watching. Andrews, as the Fairy Godmother (the boss of the Tooth service) is a nice touch.Johnson, in bright blue tutu, tights and wings looks ridiculous, of course and sends it up well. Kids will find his miniaturisation and other grotesque special effects funny and engaging.I'm not usually in a habit of watching kid's films (I have none to share it with) but as it was on Sky Movies, thought I'd give it a try. It's generally likable, most kids will enjoy it, but you won't find me buying it on DVD.

Dwayne Johnson proves once again, that he is more than just muscles. And his eyebrow of course. He can jump from action into a kids movie just like that. Something a few stars in the 80s had big problems with (at least commercially speaking).And this movie delivers. It never set out to be, the best movie in the world. It is there to entertain. And entertain it does. The viewing experience get enhanced if you watch it with teenagers or kids. They will just love the movie. And so will you, if you watch it with them.Of course it is very predicable and it has a few other flaws too. But the charisma of Dwayne, the wit of Merchant and the overall good design of the movie, might make you forget about that. Just relax, sit back and enjoy.
