The Tooth Fairy

When you tell me that a pro wrestler is going to be in a movie where he is going to wear a tutu, my first thought is...this has been done before, remember Hulk Hogan in Mr. Nanny? So my thoughts of The Rock doing, yet another, kid movie to where The Rock is going to be wearing a tutu was pretty bleak. I expected nothing out of this movie, and quite frankly, I was surprised.

After The Scorpion King, The Rundown, The Gameplan, and even Wallkng Tall, The Rock has arrived in this movie. I believe this is his niche'. The days of replacing Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis are gone. The Rock has found himself being the action hero for kids. As long as these movies make money, The Rock will be very successful in this genre. As for his part in The Tooth Fairy, his lines came off a little cheesy for me, but then again, I've seen him cut wrestling promos for almost ten years, so I can expect a little cheesiness. I found him to be entertaining, but it also helped that you had Billy Crystal and Julie Andrews in the movie. This was probably one of the first Ashley Judd movies to where she isn't so "in your face" and honestly, I kinda liked it. After watching Kiss the Girls, Double Jeporady, and A Time to Kill, she appeared to be more laid back in this one. As for the story line, it was smooth, easy to follow, and kids won't be lost in it.

For the type of audience that The Tooth Fairy is trying to reach, this is a plus. I really enjoyed the movie and I think you and your kids will like it too.
