Tooth Fairy (4/10)

Probably The Rock's worst acting gig. Every time he smiled, I cringed. His fake, sweet smiles were just too obvious.But the movie has a few big names to support it, including Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews. Well, OK, who am I kidding? Both can probably be labeled as has-beens. But even so, they are definitely better than this movie.One of the biggest issue suffered by the movie was the lack of continuity in a lot of places, making a lot of events unrealistic, even for a fantasy story. Especially the last act (spoiler alert but really now, who would consider this a spoiler?): How was everyone already in bed when Dwayne Johnson's fairy visited the house and yet they still made it to the talent show in time? A kid's talent show organised by the school would probably end at 9 or 10pm latest, so that means the whole family was in bed at 8 or 9pm? No, it's unacceptable.The writers were not to be blamed completely; the editing, especially all that closeups on the weird looking Stephen Merchant, were irritating and distracting. The direction by Michael Lembeck too felt like he just came out of Directing 101.The best thing about the movie was Billy Crystal's five minutes or less appearance. He has been out of the screen for years but he still got it. The worst thing about the movie was having Crystal in just that five minutes. It was almost a crime. I saw a glimpse of him in the outtake of the movie while the credits rolled but Seri Kiulap Cineplex has a knack for cutting off the credits and they did it again. Irritating and not to mention rude. We payed for the whole reel, didn't we?
