There is a lot of people who view this film and try to dumb it down and say how awful the Rock is. Let me say this; a film about morals and dreams is far from dumb. It is fun, light-hearted and has a clear message behind it.Dwayne Johnson is known for his brooding physical prowess and many action style formatted films. Here he portrays Derek Johnson a minor league hockey player known as "The Tooth Fairy" for his heavy hits. Due to an injury he has been remanded to this level. Ashley Judd portrays his girlfriend Carly with 2 kids one who adores him and one who does not. Along the way Derek smashes one of the kids ideas of dreams and fantasy by saying they are not real. As a result he is summoned to Fairyland and has to be remanded to being the REAL tooth fairy until he realizes what he has done.The humor is fun and the light hearted style of the film is brought to life by Johnson and his performance. It's a kids film but with family value. I found it entertaining and well done and give it a well deserved 7 out of 10

... View MoreThis movie isn't actually that bad. Dwayne Johnson plays a former ice hockey player who tells kids not to go for their dreams in life because they'll never make it and will end up disappointed, that mindset blurs the lines between realism and pessimism.By the end of the movie it becomes apparent that Dwayne Johnson's character has a change of heart thanks to the kid of the lady he is dating. The message of this movie is clearly to go for your dreams and goals in life regardless of how unrealistic they may seem.The actors performances are okay, the dialogue was fine, Overall a watchable film.
... View MoreOkay, Dwayne Johnson cannot act. He looked tense, uncomfortable, and cannot deliver humour with any sense of timing. Thank goodness for Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews who can act and deliver their lines with some sense of being involved, especially the latter who could be in any pantomime and make it work. The kids do well too especially Chase Ellison.The film's redeeming feature is its story, about what happens when you stop believing and tell the rest of the world to stop too. Perhaps this attempted fable is a bit too hard on the accelerator when it comes to the "what if" punchline, but it does have a charm if you enter the spirit of it. The outcomes are entirely over the top but consistent with pantomime tales, which tend to pan out that way too.What spoils the film is its apparent confusion as to target audience which may be why the casting of the main lead was a pretty poor choice. So not a film to go out of your way to see or pay out good money to rent or own.
