About Tooth Fairy

On the ice, Derek Thompson is a rough and tumble minor league hockey player who earns wins by knocking out opponents' teeth. After a disgruntled fan calls him out, he is punished by the league in a surprising way: a week as a real life tooth fairy. Strapped into a tutu and wings, he must perform the duties suited to this magical role and try to help kids with their lost teeth. The assignment forces him to walk in others' shoes and view life from a kinder perspective, nudging him toward rekindling a once forgotten dream from his younger days. He discovers the fairy world has its own rules, and a cheeky mentor helps him navigate this strange new job.

Directed by Michael Lembeck, Tooth Fairy stems from an original concept by Babaloo Mandel, Lowell Ganz and Jennifer Ventimilia. The film pairs live action with family friendly fantasy to appeal to broad audiences, prioritizing light humor and magical set pieces.

With Dwayne Johnson and Julie Andrews among its cast, the film sits in a wave of 2010s family fantasies that mix sports and magic. Andrews brings a warm presence as Lily, the Fairy Queen, adding classic charm. It helped cement the era's trend of turning athletes into fairy tale figures.

Critics viewed it as lightweight, kid friendly fare that trades depth for humor and visual gags, while underscoring themes of responsibility, teamwork and chasing childhood dreams. The tone stays breezy and bright, offering simple lessons about self worth without heavy drama.
