This is not a movie that I would have rented, but my sister brought it over for my kids to see when they were young. I think it was right after my little one had lost a tooth, so it was an exciting day. I was very surprised how much we liked it. Kirstie Alley made it so enjoyable and entertaining with her comedy and timing. Love the little tune and the funny characters, too. In fact, we bought a copy of the movie for ourselves and watched it nearly every time one of the kids lost a tooth. There is a good moral to this story and we can all relate to it.Ah, yes ... very good memories of this for years to come!
This movie is really not one of the greatest movies around...but it can really grab a hold of ya, has a wonderful lesson that WE ALL can learn from, is very funny...yet at the same time there are some serious moments. Its enough to bring out anyones inner child! One minute I was laughing hysterically...the next a tear ran down my cheek.It has a mix of emotions! Ill put it this way...it will have you thinking afterwords.Language for this movie is pretty good. I would say kids of all ages can watch this movie.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! Kirstie Alley does a great job portraying the role of a tooth fairy. It is a great movie reminding everyone that you are never too old to believe in the unbelievable. It is one of those movies that could be a tear-dripper towards the end, but is still good. One of my favorite parts in the move (probably my favorite part) was when Katherine is put into the Hellevator and shows flashbacks of her life, then she wakes up in the street. I also love the part where she re-unites with Bobby at the end. It is sad she pulls his last baby tooth before she can finish thanking him and he forgets everything. I believe anyone should see this movie. It is very good, I just wish there would of been a Toothless 2!
It shouldn't. The plot has huge gaping holes in it. The special effects are definitely substandard. Most of the characters border on caricature. But somehow the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A dentist (Kirstie Alley) who has never really gotten involved with life dies and goes, not to heaven, but Limbo and there, while awaiting judgment, must perform community service. She inadvertently signs up to be the Tooth Fairy and, oh, what a grumpy fairy she is! However, during her time as the Tooth Fairy she develops a relationship with a young boy mourning the loss of his mother and finds, to her surprise, a capacity to love and sacrifice that she didn't know she had.Ms. Alley carries the film with her exuberant and funny performance tinged with a bit of sadness that comes through in a few crucial scenes. However, most of it is just wacky fun. Her scene where she chews out the Easter Bunny is a hoot and I laugh out loud every time I watch her histrionics during her judgment.Don't expect a great film but rather an enjoyable one. (After all some of the "great" films aren't really that much fun to watch)
