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

| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2012

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

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

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

| 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

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 25, 2010

Is there anything else to say except skip it?

Full Review | Feb 1, 2010

The feeling upon walking out of Tooth Fairy closely resembles the notion one often has upon leaving the dentist -- that wasn't nearly as bad as expected.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 30, 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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 23, 2010

Tooth Fairy makes the mistake of having too many anxious hockey players remain on the ice after their shift has ended.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Jan 22, 2010

Like most family films nowadays, the movie squanders a lot of energy righteously huffing and puffing its message: let kids dream.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 22, 2010

As dental experiences go, Tooth Fairy doesn't hurt as much as you might think.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 22, 2010

The marvelously handsome wrestler-turned-actor -- proving once again better than the material he takes -- dons tights and a baby-blue satin tunic in the slight family comedy Tooth Fairy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 22, 2010

It's one thing to make a disappointingly unfunny family film but it's quite another to make one that's simply this unenjoyable.

| Jan 22, 2010

One of the film's charms is the way it carries childhood mythology to its logical, if absurd extreme.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 22, 2010

Basically, if you've seen the ads, you've seen the only joke in this one-joke movie, although there are also endless groan-worthy gags about wings and teeth.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 22, 2010

Kids won't mind any of The Tooth Fairy's flaws and will find the sight of burly Johnson in a pink tutu hilarious. Parents get a couple of clever gags that will make them forgive the filmmakers. And if we all remember to floss, everybody wins.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 22, 2010

Once again, the fun is seeing Johnson playing an arrogant jock who is schooled by just about everyone.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 22, 2010

The motivation for this scenario, obviously, is that someone thought it would be hilarious to see The Rock wearing wings and a tutu. Not that I dispute this, but it's hardly enough to hang a movie on.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 21, 2010
