The secret of The Tooth Fairy is that it doesn't suck.
Here's 3 reasons why.
1) Dwayne Johnson remains a likable cross of Guy Smiley and Godzilla. Also he has the whitest teeth on Earth. Like a thousand suns. My God Man, drink some coffee, smoke a cigar, turn those things down.
2) Billy Crystal wanders on for a 5 minute cameo as the tooth fairy stock room guy, and he's actually funny. It's fun, fast and even a little naughty. Makes me wistful for when Billy Crystal movies were worth watching.
3) Stephen Merchant. If you don't know him, he's the tall skinny guy f
rom the British The Office. He plays Tracy, a fairy administrator with "wing envy." Stephen can actually stand up to the former wrestler, he isn't easily intimidated and has a great time sniping the big buffoon.

Stephen can actually stand up to the former wrestler, he isn't easily intimidated and has a great time sniping the big buffoon. Great stuff, too bad he's almost invisible in the trailer. But trust me, if you end up taking the kids to this one, Stephen is the one who makes it worth sitting through.
Also in other news I liked Creation and The Last Station. Check out my podcast for more info. And if some reason you'd like to actually see me, there's now a video version on the CBC site. Keep an eye on my twitter feed for links.
See ya in the dark!
