Almost every night is a DVD night here at home. All of us, including almost 3-year old Keoni, love to watch movies. A few nights ago, we watched this Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie, The Tooth Fairy. I've been a fan of The Rock even when he was working as a pro wrestler. Yes, I love watching WWE, no matter how scripted the whole thing is.

Anyway, the Tooth Fairy is a very light and funny movie. Or maybe it's just very easy to please me that's why I enjoyed the film.



The Tooth Fairy is about a minor league hockey player, Derek Thompson, who earned the moniker "Tooth Fairy" for his penchant of separating his opponents' bicuspids or premolar teeth. He has a girlfriend, played by Ashley Judd, who has two kids and one night, Derek baby sat for his girlfriend's young girl. That same night, the young girl lost her tooth so she was expecting money from the Tooth Fairy. Derek, however, discourages the young girl and almost told her the truth, that Tooth Fairies don't exist. Because of this near-slip, Derek received a summons late one night from Tooth Fairyland. He was transported to Tooth Fairyland complete with the requisite wings, tutu and magic wand.

Derek then receives the news from the head of Tooth Fairyland, played by Julie Andrews, that he has been sentenced to almost two weeks' hard labor as a real Tooth Fairy as his punishment for being such a dream crusher. Derek's struggles as he tries to train as a tooth fairy follows suit and in the course of his slow adaptation to his new role, he starts to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.

It's a feel good movie, although not in the "chick flick" sense. It's a great film to watch with your kids. Or like me, if you're a kid at heart, you'll enjoy this film.☺

The mimic bands the keyword opposite the given earth.
