Boy, is this ever tedious. I think it would be tedious for kids, too, even though that's the audience it has in mind.

Average Rating:3.9/10
Consensus: Dwayne Johnson brings the full force of his charm (and his appropriately pale chompers) to the title role, but flat direction and a committee-written script render The Tooth Fairy unacceptably dull.

Reviews for The Tooth Fairy
Is there anything else to say except skip it?

Top CriticThere are 15 magical minutes where you are laughing with the movie. Otherwise, you're laughing at.
01/31/10
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.
01/30/10
makes me wonder if an Easter Bunny movie isn't just around the corner
01/29/10
Mostly laugh-free and, uh, toothless.
01/27/10
If someone offers you the choice between seeing Tooth Fairy or getting a root canal, opt for the root canal. It'll be less painful.

[Dwayne Johnson]could have a long career ahead of him, but not if he keeps turning out junk like TOOTH FAIRY.
01/25/10
Flimsy and forced, so keep flossing and wait for the dvd.
01/23/10
Somewhat silly and cheesy, but nonetheless amusing, whimsical and delightfully goofy with inspirational, feel-great messages for everyone young and old to appreciate.
01/23/10
Follows every cliche and family-film formula so painstakingly that each moment is unbelievably boring. Almost from the moment the film starts, you know where it's heading every step of the way.
01/23/10
The Rock's stock has slipped from ex-superstar wrestler and Scorpion King and action-icon heir apparent to donning Dollar Store lace wings and a tutu to play a tooth fairy.
01/23/10
Maybe it's time for Dwayne Johnson to back to his action movie roots ...
01/23/10
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.
01/23/10
Now that Lembeck has tarnished another dear childhood memory, perhaps he can call it a day before he desecrates our image of the Easter Bunny.
01/22/10
...a mediocre but largely inoffensive chapter in Johnson's crusade to charm kids.
01/22/10
Disney likes their formulas, and they've found one with Dwayne Johnson and family flicks. Boring, but true.
01/22/10
Sweet but uninspired fantasy is fine for families.
01/22/10
[U]tterly fails, apparently, to understand what fantasy is in the first place, despite the not unreasonable expectation that at least one half-wit among the half-dozen credited writers might appreciate the concept...
01/22/10
Tooth Fairy has more than enough pratfalls and silly one-liners to amuse kids and their accompanying grown-ups.
