'Nother lazy night. Julie Andrews is supposedly here to talk about the apparently atrocious "Tooth Fairy." Among the reviews:
Another excruciating film about an unlikable hero who is somehow considered a badass despite making jokes like, "You can’t handle the tooth." ~ Matt Pais, Metromix Chicage
Nearly every recent film made by Dwayne (Still Known As The Rock Despite His Best Efforts To Move On) Johnson can be summed up as follows: The script is lousy, the direction weak, and the star so charismatic that he pulls it all off anyway.
Well, "Tooth Fairy's" script — which was written by five people — is lousy, and the direction, by Michael Lembeck, is weak. ~ Elizabeth Weitzman, NY Daily News
I’ve decided to stop bemoaning the wasted potential of The Rock who should, by all rights, have by now firmly entrenched himself as America’s number one action star. Instead he’s willingly become a family-friendly buffoon. Good luck to him, I've moved on. At least he’s good at it. Instead I’ve decided to be depressed about the current state of Julie Andrews who, apparently, has been reduced to reciting a series of bad fairy-related puns. ~ Josh Tyler, Cinemablend
