Tooth Fairy

Rating: 6.4/10
Genre: Comedy
Overall value for time and money: 6.0/10

Rather entertaining movie about an egoistic hockey player who was nicknamed toothfairy because he would always ram his opponents till their tooth came out. Other than that, he hasn't taken a shot for ages and is threatened when an arrogant but skilful new kid on the team is taken under his wing. After almost shattering the dream of his girlfriend's little girl who believes that the tooth fairy will come and claim her fallen tooth that night, he was "abducted" to tooth fairy land where he would "serve" time as a tooth fairy.

Though having a ridiculous plot, the idea was simple and straight to the point. What was refreshing was seeing Ashley Judd back to the big screens and that Dwayne Johnson was as entertaining as ever when it came to such movies. Kinda reminded me of Race to Witch Mountain. I sure hope he gets a serious role in future where his potential can further be released because in the meantime, I think he's stuck with no brainer kid flicks (no offence to kids).

Did tickle me a couple of times with the lame jokes and I thought it was pretty heartfelt at the end, though the buildup was there. At least after watching this movie, you'll get to believe in tooth fairies and that fairies are indeed living amongst us in the real world... or not.
