Oct 2 2009'Tooth Fairy' Trailer: Dwayne Johnson Gobbles Up Vin Diesel's Leavings
It's hard to put into words exactly how unfortunately bad Disney's Tooth Fairy looks from this trailer, so I'm just going to try laying out the major plot points, and maybe enough of the awfulness will ooze through to prepare you for what you're about to see.
1. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a hockey player so good at knocking out teeth that he gets to sit in a customized, ice-side recliner during penalties.
2. The new young, hotshot hockey player thinks Rock is old.
3. The Rock informs a young fan that being a professional hockey player is a very high aspiration.
4. It is revealed the Rock does not believe in the tooth fairy.
5. The Rock becomes a tooth fairy.
6. The Rock undergoes a fairy boot camp (allowing opportunities for him being hit in the balls).
7. Miracle Max gives Rock magic things.
8. The Rock decides to forgo the magic things, instead dressing up in hockey pads for some reason.
9. The Rock uses his invisibility spray to haunt the young hotshot player.
10. Somehow all this teaches Rock a lesson
Even Tim Allen wouldn't do this movie, and he's essentially done this movie several times:
In fairness, it's pretty impressive how the trailer's tooth-loss theme reiterates itself when you realize how hard you're grinding your teeth.

That caused me physical pain.
Definitely a paycheck movie... wait, it streams into Saw 6 right after that trailer? Are you kidding me? Why... why would it do that?

So wait. Someone is a complete dick, knocks out a lot of teeth, and shows signs of malignant narcissism.... so he's given the ability to turn invisible, make people forget things, shrink in order to gain access to places... Apparently the tooth fairy justice system is poorly constructed, and a transition into Saw 6 actually makes sense.

The ONLY thing that made me even crack a smile was what seems to be the apperance of Stephen Merchant.

I'm gonna have to see it. Stephen Merchant's in it. Gotta give the man props, even if the movie sucks.

It looks cute. Period. It is intended to be family-friendly, and we love Dwayne for that. Also for his abs.

so are they gonna cover up his ill-advised upper body tattoo with long sleeves in this family friendly movie. Mommy - why does the tooth fairy have that giant scary tattoo on his chest and arm?

I was trying hard not to grind my teeth, until I realised the hotshot player was ryan sheckler..
I guess being good at kickflip indys somehow make you a good actor playing a hockey player?

Okay, it doesn't look good but it doesn't look any worse than Paul Blart Mall Cop. Besides, judging from the trailer DJ really elevates the material. I wish him continued success.

It's a sign of how formulaic it feels that you'd think it's a Disney Movie (it's right up the Pacifier alley), but if you watch the trailer, the first image is of the 20th Century Fox logo.

I'd watch this instead of Indiana Jones and Kingdom the Crystal Skull.

Cute film for parents and kids. What the fu@k is wrong with that?

looks funny. It's a family movie and obviously you're not the family movie type. Looks better than the other crap coming out. I mean it's no district 9 but it looks better than crap like dragonball evolution.

Why's Dwayne doing all these family movies now? I keep hoping for a new action film from him. I want to see another Rundown, or Standing Tall.

This looks incredibly awful. Also, you forgot point
0. The opening shot shows a big arena via blimp-cam, but the shot immediately after that "inside" the arena is a tiny rink that has seating for maybe 2,000 people.
