Movie Reviews of Tooth Fairy
Movie Review: A lesson in transforming cold-heartedness into sensible mindedness.
Summary: 5 Stars
The previews of the movie were quite discouraging. Dwayne Johnson's conversion from wrestling in the WWF to cinema never appealed to me. Since the era of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve Reeves, muscle mass alone does not confer an edge on an actor lacking attractive facial appearance, strong personality, and believable expression. Johnson lacked those all. However, the theme of the movie fitted his lack of appeal and meager talent as an actor. I even doubt that Johnson was a good match to a Hockey player. He is tall and disproportionate for a sport that requires short stature and strong legs. In real life, Johnson would have been long gone had he played Hockey.
By the moment, the movie started gaining appeal as its main theme became clear. You could easily relate many people to the lack of appreciation of the essential role of nurturing fantasy in the development of children. The cold-hearted Hockey player led a dry life, where training and competition required objective and realistic planning. Fantasy has no place in the routine life of an athlete. Transforming his personal experience as a professional athlete into fitting in a family of two kids and single mom presented a challenge to his rigid and objective mind set.
He was nicknamed the "tooth fairy" after busting the teeth of another Hockey player. In the family setup, the professional player could not relate to the children fantasy of hiding the tooth under the pillow, expecting the tooth fairy to sneak under the vial of the night to replace the tooth with money. The nicknamed "tooth fairy", instead, stole the money from under the pillow of the kid of his girlfriend unaware of its symbolic relevance to a child.
In order to break the cold heartedness of a materialistic, rigid adult, he was enlisted, in his dreams, into the boot camp of the school of tooth fairies. His dreams fused with his consciousness. He must work his way to develop sensibility and understanding of the role of fantasy in raising kids. The tooth fairy school was run by a seasoned Lady Chief tooth fairy. The cold-hearted Hockey player must learn how to fly with wings, vanish by swallowing paste, shrink by spraying magic powder, and turn people amnesic by aerosol sprayer.
Every act of arrogant rigidity is penalized by further tooth-picking tasks that require flying, shrinking, vanishing, and altering the minds of others.
The movie is a rich lesson in the psychoanalysis of learning how to appreciate the opposite and different views of different generations of human development.
