Watch The Tooth Hurts
“You can’t handle the tooth” was the slogan for The Tooth Fairy, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. (The Game Plan and Get Smart)
And they were correct. Viewers can not handle the tooth.
This movie, directed by Michael Lembeck (Santa Clause 2 and 3), premiered January 22, 2010 and should have skipped theatres and went straight to DVD. Whoever would like to waste ten dollars could easily do so by buying a ticket to this cheesy film.
Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a minor league hockey player for the Lansing Ice Wolves, who has lost all faith that he will make it back to the NHL after suffering shoulder problems.
He is known to many as a “dream killer” and constantly tells kids who have dreams for themselves that there is always something bigger out there standing in the way of their success.
The main plot lacked any substance, making the movie drag on for what seemed like much longer than the nearly two hour running time.
Johnson’s girlfriend has two kids, one of which has just lost a tooth. After almost spilling the secret to this young girl and telling her that the Tooth Fairy isn’t real, the Queen of Tooth Fairy Land, Julie Andrews (Sound of Music and Princess Diaries) demanded that Derek Thompson experience one week of his life collecting teeth and facing obstacles that get in the way of him and the pillow.
One scene that stood out was with Billy Crystal (Monsters Inc.), who starred as an older fairy who is preparing Thompson for the challenges he will face.
It’s fair to say that Johnson should have stuck with his wrestling career because this movie isn’t assisting his profession.
The supporting cast was much stronger than Johnson who didn’t quite capture the role he was given. Actors like Adam Sandler could have accomplished this role much better, resulting in a funnier movie.
Ryan Sheckler, a professional skate boarder who was casted in the film, only saying about seven lines throughout the movie, had better acting abilities than Johnson himself.
Along with the plot, creativity was also lacking. Movies like this have been done before; take for example Toothless starring Kirstie Alley in 1997.
