I really wish for several realities to hit the people with power in the movie world. 1) Professional wrestlers are not a viable acting work force, 2) Adults have to sit through the movies that are aimed at the "family", and 3) PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS ARE NOT A VIABLE ACTING WORK FORCE. For the love of all that is good and holy in this world, stop making tripe like Tooth Fairy. Yes, I understand that the juxtaposition of a huge, rough and tumble athlete forced into a humiliating, emasculating, and just plain ridiculous situation can be humorous. These situations are very few and far between, and RARELY are they actually funny for more than several seconds, let alone an entire hour and forty minutes. A bruising minor league hockey player, through his own misfortune is "sentenced" to a week of actual Tooth Fairy duty. I lost interest right there. Don't even get me started on the hockey side of this wreck.
Dwayne Johnson plays the unfortunate "hockey player," Derek Thompson. Johnson has shown glimmers of acting talent in the past, but not here. How the producers blackmailed Billy Crystal, Julie Andrews (JULIE ANDREWS, for God's sake!!!!!!!!), Seth Macfarlane, Stephen Merchant, and Ashley Judd into this is beyond any comprehension I may possess.
How this travesty ever got green-lit for production is one of those mysteries that may never be solved. I actually think that Jimmy Hoffa will be found before that question is answered. This movie sucked badly and i wouldn't want you to waste even one minute contemplating the decision to see it. Consider this your intervention. STOP NOW AND PICK ANOTHER MOVIE!! 1/10, but just based on the star power.
See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
