Wonderful character development!

Overrated and overhyped

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is not a movie that I would have rented, but my sister brought it over for my kids to see when they were young. I think it was right after my little one had lost a tooth, so it was an exciting day. I was very surprised how much we liked it. Kirstie Alley made it so enjoyable and entertaining with her comedy and timing. Love the little tune and the funny characters, too. In fact, we bought a copy of the movie for ourselves and watched it nearly every time one of the kids lost a tooth. There is a good moral to this story and we can all relate to it.Ah, yes ... very good memories of this for years to come!

Catherine (Kirstie Alley) was born to follow in her dentist-father's footsteps. She does become a dentist and establishes a successful practice. However, she only has a few close friends and does not pursue the men who might glance her way. Catherine is more likely to spend an evening watching videos and eating popcorn than on a date. One day, she becomes the victim in a serious auto accident and ends up "in limbo", that is in a halfway station between heaven and hell! She is given the job of Tooth Fairy in order for heaven's authorities to make a further determination about which direction she should go. As Tooth Fairy, she not only learns to do a good job but also begins to realize what she missed out on in life. What will be her final destination? This is a darling family film. Alley is one fine comic performer and a lovely one at that. She looks beautiful in her fairy outfit and dances her way through the heavens to find her young charges. The plot is fun and the supporting actors, especially child-actor Ross M., are very fine. If you want to sit your family down to a film that will entertain both children and adults, in grand fashion, this is an outstanding choice. It has humor and good messages, with bite, that will put every viewer in a good, good mood indefinitely.

It shouldn't. The plot has huge gaping holes in it. The special effects are definitely substandard. Most of the characters border on caricature. But somehow the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A dentist (Kirstie Alley) who has never really gotten involved with life dies and goes, not to heaven, but Limbo and there, while awaiting judgment, must perform community service. She inadvertently signs up to be the Tooth Fairy and, oh, what a grumpy fairy she is! However, during her time as the Tooth Fairy she develops a relationship with a young boy mourning the loss of his mother and finds, to her surprise, a capacity to love and sacrifice that she didn't know she had.Ms. Alley carries the film with her exuberant and funny performance tinged with a bit of sadness that comes through in a few crucial scenes. However, most of it is just wacky fun. Her scene where she chews out the Easter Bunny is a hoot and I laugh out loud every time I watch her histrionics during her judgment.Don't expect a great film but rather an enjoyable one. (After all some of the "great" films aren't really that much fun to watch)

This movie is what you would expect from a a Disney movie. Toothless was a good movie if you like Kirstie Alley. The end sort of was a tear jerker. It was a good movie to watch with kids.
