the leading man is my tpye

Overrated

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This movie isn't actually that bad. Dwayne Johnson plays a former ice hockey player who tells kids not to go for their dreams in life because they'll never make it and will end up disappointed, that mindset blurs the lines between realism and pessimism.By the end of the movie it becomes apparent that Dwayne Johnson's character has a change of heart thanks to the kid of the lady he is dating. The message of this movie is clearly to go for your dreams and goals in life regardless of how unrealistic they may seem.The actors performances are okay, the dialogue was fine, Overall a watchable film.

This basically serves as a vehicle for Dwayne Johnson and a formula family film-it succeeds reasonably in both areas. Johnson plays an aging minor league hockey player who ruins a lady's kid's fantasies of the tooth fairy and gets sentenced to a week's sentence as-you guessed it-a tooth fairy! He also takes a hockey phenom under his wings on the hockey rink.As a family film, it basically succeeds. I liked the scenes of "The Rock" with Ashley Judd and the kids-those were cute. I also loved the scenes of him in "tooth fairy land"-those were hilarious! So were the scenes of him interacting with his "case worker." Julie Andrews was good as the "head tooth fairy," and I liked Billy Crystal in it. This was mostly aimed at kids.**1/2 out of ****

The plot is interesting and engaging for both children and light-hearted adults. Dwayne Johnson plays the lead part with passion. He is convincing as both the dream killer and the believer. Billy Crystal is hilarious as always. Start to end he is a side-splitter. Stephen Merchant is a Joy as he keeps pace with The Rock in physical banter. The kids are cute and well casted. All throughout the plot there are comical references and situations to keep the adults amused while the kids are glued to their seats with a story they care about. In the end we are inspired to believe in second chances and to try our best. Comedy and meaning are woven into a story worth putting in your home collection.

Looking at the low rating and the reviews, I saw Tooth Fairy expecting very little. I actually got a movie that was better than expected. Sure it has got flaws, the story is thin and formulaic, some of the script while having some nice laughs in it is rather silly at times and some scenes are a little rushed, the ending especially could've had more time to breathe. However, the film does look very nice, the scenery and cinematography are quite striking and while not award-worthy the effects don't do much to harm the film. The soundtrack also has a magical sensation to it, the film is cute and has some nice messaging and morals without feeling too forced or sugary sweet and the cast including Dwayne Johnson(surprisingly good), Ashley Judd and my favourite Julie Andrews give it their all. In conclusion, a decent little movie that doesn't try to be any more than it is. 7/10 Bethany Cox
