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....October 21, 2010
To call Tooth Fairy a bad film is like calling star Dwayne Johnson a big guy. Both statements are accurate, but neither actually conveys the degree to which they are true.January 23, 2010
CGI fairy dust, dippy tooth puns and a semi-amusing Billy Crystal cameo can't disguise the fact that this sugary distraction is as hollow as a cavity.June 03, 2010
This comedy is essentially a goofy premise with some nutty dialog and set pieces pasted onto it. But it's watchably entertaining, even though the filmmakers miss almost every opportunity for sublime absurdity.January 22, 2010
Like most family films nowadays, the movie squanders a lot of energy righteously huffing and puffing its message: let kids dream.February 01, 2010
Is there anything else to say except skip it?January 22, 2010
As dental experiences go, Tooth Fairy doesn't hurt as much as you might think.January 22, 2010
Tooth Fairy makes the mistake of having too many anxious hockey players remain on the ice after their shift has ended.March 21, 2011

Feels like a relic from the Seventies, but it does have funny moments.May 25, 2010
The one element that lifts this above utter tedium is the presence of Stephen Merchant as tooth-fairy administrator Tracy. That he manages to come away with his dignity intact is testament to his skill as a comedian.June 03, 2010
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.
