Originally posted in April 2012, this was the belated conclusion to Wrestlemonthia, which had been delayed because I was filming To Boldly Flee. It's also the final something else: this was the last episode to be filmed on my miniDV camcorder before I traded it for the HD camera I use today. As per usual, this is a re-edited version that tightens up the pacing and cuts down the film clips, running 1m 2s shorter than the original. I've recently upgraded my editing software, which includes the ability to upscale footage, which I have applied to this, to present the video in upscaled HD for the first time, let me know what you think of the results (which will look better on episodes filmed with the later camera). As you can guess, this ties into Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. I've always really liked this one, and I hope you do too!

Tooth Fairy: truly the manliest of hockey nicknames.

A fun tidbit I didn't see in there - Dwayne Johnson had stated he took roles in Kids Films for that period so his daughter could watch him in something at that age, it's why he stopped doing kids movies too, as she'd got older.

I'm of the belief that children's entertainment should be held to the same standards as entertainment for any other audience, so I don't buy into the "it's for kids" defense against criticism.

"We need people to believe" /gives them amnesia

The wings in this movie look so cheap for a big budget, Hollywood blockbuster.

As I always say, if anything, children's entertainment should be held to a *higher* standard, because children GROW UP

2:35 Wow that's the cleanest tooth I've ever seen no blood at all

"Mommy, Derek's the tooth fairy!" "You rented a fairy costume to make it up to Tess!" "What? Mommy, I'm right here. Derek's not the tooth fairy? Is there a tooth fairy? Why would you both lie to me, Mommy? Do you lie when you say you love me Mommy?"

1:49 And they were both in movies that had in-name-only sequels starring Larry the Cable Guy. What a coincidence!

Overall, this is The Rock's version of Jingle All The Way

2:34 he hits them so hard, he knocks their CGi teeth out.

2:07 So basically, Arnold was in talks to what amounts to a Jürgen Von Strangle origin movie? Not gonna lie, I’d totally watch that

When I was younger, I tried to come up with a story where both Santa Claus exists, and parents still wrap presents, completely unaware of his existence. After watching this video a few years ago, I realized why no one’s ever done it before. If I saw this movie when it came out (I kept seeing commercials for it, but never saw it), not only would I be complaining about certain problems with the film, but I would’ve thought that _that_ was a saving grace.

About the Tooth Fairies being kept secret thing, at least in The Fairly OddParents, you can make the excuse that they wanted to prevent adults from using their magic for evil, which happened multiple times on the show, especially with Crocker. But with this movie, what’s the point? Relatable, my ass! If you want fantasy elements in your kids movie, then go all out with it! Kids love to be entertained and they hate being bored (kind of like most adults). It’s the “how do you do, fellow kids,” meme all over again!

2:45 And then Dwayne and Merchant would then collaborate for Fighting With My Family, interestingly enough.

Ugh. Those wings look hideous. The props department couldn't have made butterfly wings for the SFX team to garnish with CGI? They had to make those furry monstrosities?

"What kind of teenager goes to bed at 7?" One who's sad because he recently had his dreams crushed and is missing an event he was looking forward to. This bit is fine.

11:23-11:32 Even as a kid, I found it very upsetting when something horrible happens in a kids movie and it never gets mentioned again (and I’m not talking about moments that even as a kid I found legitimately funny like in the Spongebob episode “The Bully,” where the townspeople beat up an innocent old man twice).

I will admit the tooth faries from Hellboy 2 were pretty scary. Cute, but scary.

matthew buck... TEETH heh heh tooth joke

Boy, remember when Dwayne Johnson was box office poison? Now he's franchise refresher.

Never mind Arnie as the Tooth Fairy, I want to see him in that detective comedy also listed where he plays Sigmund Freud to Woody Allen's Carl Jung! Also looks like Arnie could have been in It Could Happen To You (1994),before Nicolas Cage took the part.

18:11 that is literally what the Rock said everyday of filming.

Two things: 1) You know your protagonist sucks when not even an actor's collective charisma can't save him. And 2) Julie Andrews, what are you doing? First Princess Diaries 2, now this? You're far too good to be slummin' it like that!

Rise of the Guardians did a better job of explaining that tooth fairies and other such characters need children believing in them to give them the power to do their jobs. It didn't explain where adults fit in, but I have my own idea for that. See, if adults knew these creatures were real, they would try to control them. For example, the world's governments would ban Santa Claus from entering people's houses because they don't trust him, while trying to steal and replicate his sleigh technology for military purposes. Adults are horrible. They don't deserve magic.

If the amnesia dust only erases a few seconds of memory then how does it erase years worth of memories?

Its movies like this that makes me wish Dwayne Johnson was in better films.

This movie makes me ashamed to have teeth

they should wear mouth guards

I love that you're uploading all these old bmb's because I haven't seen alot of them and KZfaq have taken a few of them down so please keep it up. Thank you.

Notice how they call it “Tooth Fairy Land?” Yeah, that doesn’t sound like “Fairy World,” from the Fairly OddParents at all!

This isn't the first time they've gotten a wrestler into a tutu. Has everyone forgot about Mr. Nanny?

I like Terry Pratchett's version (the Hogfather) better. And he actually told us what the Tooth Fairy needed the teeth for.

I remembered seeing this in Netflix...Fairly Oddparents has a better premise than this.

Well today, the Rock pretty much has become Arnold 2.0

This film made me wish Kane would set him on fire.

Can you imagine Deadpool as a Tooth Fairy? It will be hilarious! He'll take kids teeth, made the parents falled asleep then stole their cash and a few beers before drawings silly things on every walls. Just imagining it made ma chuckle X) Also, the story will be a lot funnier if he was the main character. Vanessa could visit the Fairy World with Colossus, NegaSonic and Yukio; exploring the magic place while Wade is training. It could be a fun scene! Julie Andrews is better as the Queen in Princess Diary 1 than in this abomination. Her character is strict for no reasons and she is useless! Oh and her wings are disgusting! She's more elegant with her Mary Poppins dress than them.

I remember seeing this on a bus trip in 8th grade with a bunch of 11-12 year olds. I guess that seeing The Rock in a pink tutu was all they needed to be entertained. Also, the "it's just for kids" excuse is a very dismissive and condescending attitude to have towards kids. Assuming that kids will accept anything you show them just because they are less judgmental than adults is a gross underestimation of their intelligence.

Eli J. Martinez: you got to be f*cking kidding me! 5:34

At least The Rock has now found his niche of being in "so bad they're good" B action movies like Rampage :P

The kind of kid where the parents tell em what time to go to bed. Trust me I had a friend in school who went to bed at 7 all the way through high school

17:16 I'm surprised and saddened that this didn't become a running gag in Bad Movie Beatdown because it works so well with all the terrible comedies you review.

It's funny to look back at the Rock's poor movie choices, now that he's the biggest movie star in the world.

18:28 How ironic. *Laughs in Other Guys*

Telling the kid to lower his expectations might be a little rude, but it's still a good lesson.

6:53-7:00 Not only that, but it feels like it’s a rule that in live-action (though it _is_ overdone in animation as well, *cough* Emoji Movie *cough* ), the fantasy element _has_ to be something that the world doesn’t know about, possibly in an attempt to make it “relatable!” ...UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I can _definitely_ tell you that this wasn’t what I wanted to see as a kid. I had much better ideas for talking animal movies than the idiots at Hollywood kept disappointed me with as a kid, especially since they were all basically the _exact same fucking movie_ (Seriously, same soundtrack, same comedy, same effects, same cliches, same storylines, same camera work, VARIETY PLEASE!?)! The ideas that I had and have are basically over the top, fun schlock that knows it’s schlock (like Maximum Overdrive and Planet Terror but without all the sex and gore). I even recently thought of an interesting take on this for the adult demographic. The idea is a mockumentary which portrays a fictional world where animals are intelligent and capable of human speech, with the documentary showing the history of the prejudice humans had against talking animals compared to their relationships in the present day, making tons of parallels and allegories to racism and homophobia. Since it would also have fake interviews, it has an excuse for the animals to stay completely still while their mouths are CGI-ied. Sorry for sounding bitter, I’m very passionate about this. I hate it when people use the “it’s for kids,” excuse as a justification for bad writing, as if every kid on the entire planet is homogenous.

Honestly, I didn't find Race to Witch Mountain that bad. Welcome to the Jungle was also a fun movie in my opinion.

"It's magic, bitches!"

In some guitar stores in America you are allowed to take guitars of the shelf’s

I hated the first movie, but the sequel managed to be so bad that while watching it, I started to remember the first Tooth Fairy almost fondly… and then while the credits were rolling, I suddenly remembered how awful the first one was. It’s almost impressive how the Tooth Fairy movies managed to start at the bottom of the barrel and yet descend so much further into Hell.

John Cena was right when he said, "You left us hanging high and dry to play a fairy with a tooth?"

19:39 wow does that shot make Merchant look evil!

Another of my favorite reviews!

2:08 So 'it could happen to you' [called 'The $2 million tip' here] was going to star Arnie at one stage before Nicholas Cage was cast...you learn something new every day!

At least it wasn’t as bad as the sequel with Larry The Cable Guy.

"...Not like that you sickos!" Like what? *whistles innocently*

What's next? Tooth Fairy 3 life bites?

I was at a Star Trek convention when they announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be playing the tooth fairy. It's amazing that the idea stuck around long enough for them to actually make it with the Rock.

actually a lot of music stores let you play the guitars in the store. the one in my town has a space set up with amps and chairs and such. so it wouldn't be entirely unrealistic. i mean this entire movie is unrealistic but...... alright this is a 5 year old review and no one on earth cares.

I love Twins. Kindergarten Cop is pretty funny. Junior sucked.

On a positive note, director Michael Lembeck did a lot of television work. Working on according to Jim, Greek, Californication, hot in cleveland and baby daddy.

Awesome! Keep rocking and thanks for the laughs:)

I bet Ricky gervais made a bet to Stephen Merchant to be in this movie.

Mmmmm the whole ‘children need to believe’ yet magic dust amnesia is used is paradoxical 😶 And now thinking about is that SERIOUSLY why that character is called TRACY?!🤦‍♀️ yes I have actually WATCHED this movie 😶yeah….😅 I probably only saw it because MARY POPPINS is in this and I love her too much Saw originally in 2017

Wheatley and Dwayne Johnson... you're both more talented than this. What are you doing here?

I agree this movie should have showed the power of tooth fairies, heck, I do think the female background fairies look beautiful. I was also thinking of another Tooth Fairy movie with a female as the protagonist.

2:40 Same face 😂

Another thing that this movie and the Santa Clause movies have in common is their inconsistent world building. Like why were the parents putting the money under the pillow even though in this world, Tooth Fairies do exist and do they ever question that? And the parents never question the belief of Santa Claus, so whya re there more gifts under the tree that no one is questioning?... Holy shit, this film is literally the original Santa Clause but also directed by the guy who directed the sequels. This is where the world would explode lol

Lol. You knock out The Rock's teeth and he'll proceed to smack your whole jaw out. With half his pinky. Using minimal force.

What did you think? Friend: well... Rock: it doesn't matter what you think of my films!

This is the Rock's worst film. Great to see you give it the scalding it deserves.

Dwayne's tooth fairy vs the one from Darkness Falls.

Thank you for the laughs

Do more of these.

Fun Fact : The rock wasnt acting here, thats just how he is.

Would you consider reviewing “Brazil” someday? Directed by Terry Gilliam, staring Jonathan Pryce, Katherine Helmond and Robert De Niro (I’m sure you knew all that I just wanted to be as clear as possible) Been a big fan of that movie and would really appreciate it :)

why in the hell did jully andrews star in this.

Matthew, this was clearly written by the same numbnuts who wrote son of the mask. This whole film is secretly horrifying.

Review the sequel with Larry the cable guy.

The dentist is Awesome. As long as you take care of your teeth, of course.

Pffft, if you want a kid-friendly Rock movie, watch Moana or Transformers Prime

All i hate the nerolizer from men in black.

What is with the Rock's voice in this thing? It sounds too high pitched. Did they screw something up in the ADR but then get too lazy to bloody fix it?

in the santa clause movie its beacuse each parents think they give the kids the presents

When will film brain make another bad movie beat down and not just upload old ones .... we will never know

is... is Dwayne dubbed?

Btw what's an ensizer

The Rock and Ashley Judd... strange couple

why is his camera still in Potato vision?

The rock bounced back

The thing I took away from this movie... Stephen Merchant is taller than Dwayne Johnston.... can he stand next to Shaq now?

Do you blank at all

25:12- Mat, a joke doesn't work when you explain it.

Please review Tooth Fairy 2, it's so much worse, budget alone

Ending ou

Seth Macfarlane is in this movie!? ...I don’t get it.

Bad Movie Beatdown Suggestion: The Dumb and Dumber Movies

12:31-12:47 Even worse, we’re losing to some random author named... Cane.

I think this is Stephen Merchant's best work, but that's just me.
