Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The one element that lifts this above utter tedium is the presence of Stephen Merchant as tooth-fairy administrator Tracy. That he manages to come away with his dignity intact is testament to his skill as a comedian.

CGI fairy dust, dippy tooth puns and a semi-amusing Billy Crystal cameo can't disguise the fact that this sugary distraction is as hollow as a cavity.

Tooth Fairy makes the mistake of having too many anxious hockey players remain on the ice after their shift has ended.

Like most family films nowadays, the movie squanders a lot of energy righteously huffing and puffing its message: let kids dream.
