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.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2018

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....

| Original Score: B | Apr 12, 2012

| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2012

For what it is, Tooth Fairy is probably a success; it's not particularly smart or original but it doesn't care to be. That doesn't offer much hope to anyone else.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 21, 2011

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 21, 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 3, 2010

Feels like a relic from the Seventies, but it does have funny moments.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 1, 2010

While Johnson's as fun as ever to watch, he struggles with a weak storyline, lame gags and enough syrup to melt your fillings.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 28, 2010

Although the film gets over the preposterousness of its own premise early enough, the tooth/truth puns are exhausted to a fault, assumedly aimed at giving adults something to titter at.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 28, 2010

Family-friendly schmaltz-by-numbers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 28, 2010

It has the plastic, disinfected aroma of something straight off the assembly line.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 27, 2010

Formulaic family entertainment starring a wrestler-turned-actor as a hockey-player-turned-tooth fairy. Visual gags and wackiness ensue.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 27, 2010

It's Johnson's committed central performance -- in a movie with a lot of shortcomings -- that only underlines the fact that he's got an awful lot of charisma and screen presence and hasn't yet had a truly great vehicle to channel that talent into.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 27, 2010

Truth is, Tooth Fairy is a very decent family film -- cute but never sickly, funny but never smug -- that's an ideal half-term afternoon-killer.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 27, 2010

Johnson is an eminently likeable lead and the impressive supporting cast, including Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal, makes up for Johnson's lack of acting finesse.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 27, 2010

The plot is as predictable as they come but it's the gentle playing that elevates this from formulaic kids' fare to a genuinely enjoyable family yarn.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 27, 2010

There isn't a kid alive who could possibly buy into the soulless treacle that serves as sentiment here. Forgettable mush.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 27, 2010
