it hink that this movie is more fore 5-11 14+
like i think this is a movie to leave your "tweens"at home for :P
they like to think that theyre older by saying childrens movies suck but me and my friends who range from 16-19 all saw this and laughed while the tweens in the theatre just roled theyre eyes and swore at the screen
sometimes trying to act more mature only makes you look you look foolish
Overall I thought it was pretty harmless and it actually re-dedicated my 9 year old girl to the belief that the tooth fairy exists. I really thought it would become obvious to her, but she seemed even more convinced! A good message of not giving up and believing in yourself and others. Would own the DVD.
I really liked it! FUNNY...much better than I thought it was going to be. My 8 year old son loved it and got the message on how to be a nice guy and shoot for the stars. My 6 year old son liked it but got a little sleepy towards the end. My 4 year old slept through it....
I would say more boys would enjoy it than girls....but that is a boy mom talking! As for telling kids there is no toothfairy....they came VERY close and I think older kids would be able to read between the lines and figure it out...but then he became a tooth fairy so the adults were wrong, there IS a toothfairy. I am thinking my 8 year old will have questions next time he looses a tooth.....we shall see
Perfect family movie, jokes are greared just right for little ones to understand!
I brought my 7 year old to see this yesterday and we loved it!! What a great family movie! There just aren't enough movies like that nowadays. Movies that you can take little ones too that the jokes don't go over their heads or make parents cringe because of adult themes. I read/heard many other parents say it was boring or lame...ok, well if you're looking for a serious movie for adults then yes, it's probably a little lame. But if you're looking for a decent family flick that you can just sit back, relax and enjoy then this is it. The jokes were 'slow' sure, but c'mon, with all the movies out there for older kids and adults, it was nice to have a movie that I could bring my little one that he enjoyed and understood the jokes (rather than going way over his head). I wish they made more family movies like this!
Cute movie with a positive message (believe in yourself and your dreams, you can't do it if you never try). Good physical comedy gags. My 10 year old loved it. My 5 year old loved the physical bits and all the fairy tricks. She was a little bored by the end, but she tends to get that way if the movie is live action rather than animated.
Not amazing cinema but great cast & family friendly comedy
This was a very sweet movie that appealed to our entire family. The plot was a little hokey at times but the messages of friendship, hope, and the importance of dreams were good.
The Rock was hilarious and the language was squeaky clean. No fart or poo jokes and the siblings aren't rude, crude or sassy. Although I wish Hollywood would occasionally make a movie with a functional, intact nuclear family, the dating relationship between the mom & the lead character was also squeaky clean; even the few kisses shown were chaste.
Although The Rock's character was mean at times, he suffered consequences for these actions and had to make amends to repair his relationships. By the end of the movie, his character has grown on many different levels.
This may be too cutesy and silly for older kids, but my two kids, ages 7 and 10, loved this movie. They laughed and laughed, and I enjoyed it too. The acting isn't exactly Oscar quality, but my kids thought the case worker assigned to train Dwayne Johnson to be a tooth fairy was hilarious. There is a kiss or two between the two adults, but nothing serious. Some mild violence during the hockey scenes. The plot is fairly predictable, but the whole point of a kids movie is to be entertaining to kids. Judging from the reaction of mine, I'd say they've succeeded. A good, clean, funny movie with a good message.
This movie might give you a tooth ache. The physical comedy and positive messages make it harmless as far as a parent is concerned. Could have been made more appealing to older kids and parents, but in the end, it does its job.
Just saw it - wished I hadn't. Really, gag me. My kids loved it, though (ages 6 & 8). Honestly, there is nothing in it objectionable (except maybe the previews). There is a nice message in there somewhere -- about being positive and believing in dreams, blah bah blah. It was totally lost on my kids, but they liked the movie anyway -- a big guy with wings is funny, I guess. If I were you, I'd wait for it to come out on DVD!!
It was just right, very predictable though. Love the ideas of fantasy. Not violent other that the hockey scenes( that's just sports!) I took both of my children to see it and it was okay for them(ages 4 and 11)
Missed the target... the opportunity for lots laughs. I can't say I recommend even as a rental. Children around me wanted to go home early on. (Age 4-5.)
Much better than I expected. A fun movie with a good message
My kids really wanted to see this. I, on the other hand wasn't so sure. It looked pretty stupid to me, But I took them.
To my surprise, I left the movie feeling entertained.
There is also a good overall message in the movie regarding values.
the tooth fairy is a good family movie for your younger kids but parents the tooth fairy has some mild Hockey violence but overall the movie is good also the movie does have a good message about dreams that are important and that kids must be allowed to have fantasies and believe in magic and possibility and the role model is that Derek is an anti-role model always squashing people's dreams, acting surly, and complaining about his bad luck But by the end, of course, he's redeemed himself and learned the value of truly believing in something and how having dreams can lead to bettering yourself.
horrible...literally had to force myself to finish the movie....I can not believe Julie Andrews and Ashley Judd aloud themselves to be involved in this film, if this can even be categorized as a "film".
cute, but perpetuates lies parents tell to their children!
I liked the movie, and it was kind of cute and peppered with some funny humor, although the acting wasn't the greatest. However, I find it disturbing that people would want their kids to believe in the tooth fairy instead of just telling them the truth! I don't think that we should be lying to our children. That's why I had a talk with my daughter and let her know that some mommies and daddies tell their children about the tooth fairy, but the tooth fairy isn't real and that the kids get money under their pillows because their parents put it there.
Disappointing for a family movie, seemed slow in the middle and I was vested in the characters. Too much Dwayne, not enough Ashley, and Julie and who is the guy who played the "case worker"?
It was a nice, light movie. My 6 year old and his friends who are 5 and 8 loved it. I liked the reality of the family but the character of the mother was not too deep or believable. Good for the young kids though so worth it for them.
