Rough-and-tumble hockey player Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson) is a terror on the ice, earning the nickname "Tooth Fairy" by separating opposing players from their choppers. When Derek dashes the dreams of a young fan, he is quickly sentenced to serve time as a real tooth fairy, complete with wings and magic wand. Though he can't "handle the tooth" at first, Derek's new job helps him to slowly rediscover the dreams that he gave up long ago.

Critics Consensus

Dwayne Johnson brings the full force of his charm (and his appropriately pale chompers) to the title role, but flat direction and a committee-written script render The Tooth Fairy unacceptably dull.

So, for adults, the best that can be said for Tooth Fairy is that it's funnier than the awful trailer.

It has a terrible screenplay and you get the feeling that Johnson could be a much better light comedian than this, given a better chance.

4/10

These films are all about sticking to a generic template, one in which a generally decent guy does a lot of bad things and must then redeem himself.

2.0/4.0

This is one film where families, especially those with small children, should ignore the critics and simply give in to the silliness of it all.

This is an obvious labor of love for the filmmakers and their collective eye for capturing the beauty, grace and, often, humor of their many dances (with Dom and Fiona) with geometric precision....
