Dwayne Johnson stars as Derek Thompson, one of the toughest hockey players around — until he’s sentenced to one week’s hard labor as the world’s most unlikely tooth fairy! Even though he must sport frilly wings and learn the magical tricks of the trade from his silver-winged superiors (Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal), Derek’s determined to do the job HIS way and prove he’s got what it takes!
Also includes the Tooth Fairy Training Center–a high-energy boot camp that will get the whole family off the couch and into the fun.Dreams and “what ifs” have no place in the life of hockey player Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson). As a major league player who’s been moved down to the minor leagues following an injury, Derek thrives on negative attention, is ruthlessly pragmatic, and doesn’t think twice about crushing the hopes and dreams of even his youngest fans. His poor attitude spills over into his personal life when he almost convinces his girlfriend’s young daughter Tess (Destiny Whitlock) that the tooth fairy doesn’t exist. As if the potential end to his relationship with girlfriend Carly (Ashley Judd) wasn’t bad enough, Derek’s actions inexplicably result in a nighttime summons from the “Department of Dissemination of Disbelief.” Transformed into a tutu-wearing fairy with wings and whisked away to a fairy world, Derek assumes that his fanciful journey–and his sentencing by the head fairy (Julie Andrews) to a two-week stint as a tooth fairy–is just a bad dream. When his pager starts buzzing and wings sprout from his back at inopportune times, he realizes that his sentence is for real, yet he continues to deny the possibility that dreams and imagination have value. Derek’s disbelief makes him an extremely inept fairy, but with the help of fellow fairy Tracy (Stephen Merchant) and some bonding time spent with Tess and her brother Randy (Chase Ellison), he begins to glimpse the importance of dreams and imagination and even manages to rediscover some of his own dreams in the process. Derek is definitely one crazy fairy, but Dwayne Johnson’s skilled performance drives home the message that it’s OK to dream, believe, and imagine. (Ages 7 and older) –Tami Horiuchi

Everyone said Schwarzenegger was miscast for Kindergarten Cop and yet it is one of the more popular films he made. His comic relief in movies like it and Twins and True Lies showed he had far more talent that he exhibited in movies like Commando [Blu-ray]. I think Dwayne Johnson is showing he is more than an action hero as well. I have enjoyed everything I have seen him in so far, and although I love his action movies, I am entertained by his comedies as well. Another good one for the family here as he plays a mean hockey player that has to learn to respect peoples dreams including his own. Good quality DVD with a standard content. If you enjoyed this catch The Game Plan (Full Screen Edition).

Nearly all of Dwayne Johnson’s movies have been enjoyable, but this is the first time he’s shown talent with acting. I’ve gotta say, he was pretty darn good in Tooth Fairy.
Johnson plays Derek, a professional hockey player with the nickname `The Tooth Fairy’ which he was given for knocking out so many teeth on the ice. It’s more than annoying in movies like this, where we know the character will eventually become the tooth fairy, and for some reason they feel the need to previously deem him with a strictly on the nose nickname; kind of like Tim Allen’s character Scott Calvin having the same initials as Santa Clause, if you will. But I’m not a child, so my point here is irrelevant.
When Derek makes an un-wanted comment to his girlfriend’s daughter about the tooth fairy not being real, he is sentenced to two weeks of `tooth fairy duty’. This sounds a little ridiculous, but we both know this film isn’t aimed at you or me, but at the little ones. So looking at it from their point of view, it’s on level with the plot of a great film like The Godfather or Saving Private Ryan, in comparison.
Derek’s girlfriend is played by Ashley Judd and the harbinger of Derek’s two weeks of doom, is a head fairy of sorts, played by Julie Andrews. There are plenty of humorous shenanigans to be had with Derek trying to cover up the fact that he is a tooth fairy, between his girlfriend and her two kids; which is to be expected.
While in `fairy land’, Derek is met by a kind of Q character from the James Bond Franchise. His name is Jerry and he is played by none other, than the legendary Billy Crystal. Thank God he’s back! Crystal is as enjoyable as ever, while him and Johnson exchange comedic moments back and forth while Derek is being given his fairy `instruments’; dog and cat repellent, magic fairy dust that will shrink you, etc.
Derek is also granted a humorous British side-kick / guardian angel named Tracy (Stephen Merchant). I don’t know that I have ever seen this gentleman before, but I’m sure I haven’t seen the last of him; he was hilarious. Jerry is a fairy who has been denied his wings and is forced to assist those sentenced to `tooth fairy duty.’
No it’s not going to be the best movie of the year; but if you have even a smidgen of a sense of humor, you will at the very least smile.

This movie has a great storyline and is perfect for the whole family. In order to appreciate it, you should not take it seriously, and just enjoy the fun. Dwayne Johnson stars as Derek Thompson, a minor league hockey player who is infamous for knocking players teeth out, earning him the name ‘Tooth Fairy’ When Derek tells his girlfriends daughter that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t exist, he is soon brought to Fairy World and forced to work as a real Tooth Fairy for two weeks. It becomes more stressful when his wings pop up without warning when he tries to spend time with his girlfriend, Carly. Will Derek learn the value of dreams before his sentence is over? I highly recommend TOOTH FAIRY!!!
