Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is at it again in a another Disney movie, but this time as a washed up former hockey prospect playing in the minors and has the nickname "The Tooth Fairy". The only problem for Dwayne's character is that he doesn't believe in much anymore, he is being ousted by a up and coming superstar (Ryan Sheckler) on his hockey team, and after trying to tell Ashley Judd's (Kiss The Girls) daughter Tess (Destiny Whitlock) that the Tooth Fairy isn't real, he gets a summons from the Tooth Fairies. Derek has to serve for two weeks as a tooth fairy because of his failure to believe in dreams. It's during these two weeks that Derek begins to discover that dreams can come true and he grow more compassionate with help from his tooth fairy caseworker Tracy (Stephen Merchant) and his girlfriend Carly's (Judd) son Randy (Chase Ellison) as he teaches Derek to try again at hockey and not to feel bad for himself. The movie reminds me a lot of the Game Plan that the Rock starred in before and the only difference is that he doesn't have a lost daughter he didn't know about and he plays hockey instead of Football. Both of his character's from each of those movies have the same mindset and they act almost exactly the same. Well, the Rock is returning to action movies and he's stepping away from Disney. So here's to hoping that his luck changes. The movie also stars Billy Crystal (City Slickers), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy), and Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) as the fairy Godmother. I give the movie a C+.
