Dubious filler
The Rock discovers his comedy talent. Not that this is a great film, Johnson isn't even the funniest guy on screen, but it is the type of film that would turn him into one of Hollywood's biggest stars. And if you don't care too much about the deplorable morality, Tooth Fairy certainly isn't the worst US comedy either. Derek is a hockey player in the final stages of his career. Dreaming big has cost him dearly, and so he tries to be honest to the people around him. For crushing their dreams, he is summoned to come work as a tooth fairy. Derek isn't too happy with his new job, but he slowly warms up to it. Seeing Stephen Merchant was a happy surprised, it also made the film more bearable. Johnson himself isn't terrible either, but it's clear he still had some way to go before he would be able to reach his current potential. The film is predictable and the CG hasn't aged too well, but at least it was short and well-paced.Read all
