The Review

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is truly a global star. Guys want to be like him, kids adore him, while the ladies finds him sexy.

Despite being largely popular, The Rock has somehow either stuck in a stereotype cliche roles, or made terrible choices in agreeing to appear in lame-ass movies.

Tooth Fairy is just an attempt to bankroll his popularity with such a childish movie.

Yes the movie is adorable, somewhat funny, although slow in some parts, it’s an entertaining watch.

I just wish one day he would take a risk, get out of that tough-guy mold, stop flashing that pearly whites and take upon serious roles.

The Good

• Clever verbal humor
• Kids will love this movie

The Bad

• Predictable outcome
• Confusing Ice Hockey connotations
