Critic Reviews

  • David Jenkins, Time Out

    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.

  • A.O. Scott, At the Movies

    Is there anything else to say except skip it?

  • Aaron Hillis, Time Out New York

    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.

  • Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

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

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

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

    I thought THE GAME PLAN was absolutely, with no doubt the worst Dwayne Johnson movie targeted at little ones. I almost fainted when I saw this because of how wrong I was. You know how they always say, "This is the movie you definitely don't want to miss"? Well,… More

    'Feeling good' kind of movie with some heart-breaking scenes that encourage us to not stop dreaming and believing. They are good! Dwayne Johnson is marvelous in this funny movie. A movie that should be watch by anyone who stop believing in dreams.

  • Jason O


    There's one reason I had much interest in seeing this to begin with: The Rock is in it, and I'd thoroughly enjoyed every movie I'd seen him in. I still had to think about it, because the trailers made it seem so childish and silly, from what I remembered. As I often do… More
