Unfortunately for Derek, it's just started. As soon as his assigned kid falls asleep, he can't help the wings sprouting and costume changing, even if it's during the middle of a date or worse, the middle of a hockey match, making his real life very hard to cope with! But as Derek starts to learn, sometimes when you give a little, you get so much more! It's quite possible that becoming the Tooth Fairy could be the greatest thing ever to happen to him and his life, if he can pull it off. His trials are the funniest thing I've ever seen!
The Rock does a really good job playing the big jock that's clueless about real life at the start of the movie and by the end, he's learned how to be a good guy. He's played it in several movies before, but I think this is the funniest one yet. The humor is appropriate for all ages, so you can watch it with your entire family. I highly recommend actually watching the credits as well because the animations in them are hilarious.
There are a few special features as well. The Tooth Fairy Training Center is actually an exercise video geared towards kids. It does seem like everything now is trying to get kids more active, but it's cute to see how they customize the training to make you into a Tooth Fairy. During the movie, you heard "fairyoke" mentioned once. Well, in the special features, you can see Tracy and Derek sing "Wind Beneath My Wings" together. Fair warning, they're not professional singers for sure! Everything else in the extras are just sneak peeks at other movies.
As you might have noticed, I tend to review horror and sci-fi movies more than anything else. But when I saw the preview for Tooth Fairy on the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel DVD, it just looked so funny that I wanted to see it, and I wasn't let down. It's a very good, family-friendly comedy that will leave you all laughing. I recommend everyone watch Tooth Fairy!
