Tooth Fairy is a 2010 family comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and directed by Michael Lembeck. Derek Thompson (Johnson), a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their teeth. When he discourages a youngster's hopes, steals a dollar from his girlfriend Carly's (Ashley Judd) six-year-old daughter Tess (Destiny Whitlock) that had been left for her lost tooth, and nearly tells her the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, he is kicked out and sent home. That night, Derek receives a magical summons under his pillow. He grows wings and is transported to the realm of tooth fairies. He meets his caseworker, Tracy (Stephen Merchant) and the head fairy, Lily (Julie Andrews), and he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth", bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes, doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams. | |

Training Montage: Probably the one good thing about this movie, this is done as an amazing threefer, with Derek training Carly's son Randy in electric blues guitar, interspersed with Derek training Tracy in tooth fairy field work, to Derek himself training to be a hockey forward again. | |

Bad Mood as an Excuse: When Carly rightfully chastises Derek for yelling at her son so admonishingly, he defends himself by saying that he had a bad day. She does not find that to be a good excuse for his behavior and breaks up with him out of disappointment. She's right, that's no excuse to take it out on someone else and shatter their dreams. | |

Masquerade: The tooth fairies do whatever they can to hide traces of their existence. However, apparently the tooth fairies need people to believe in them if they want to keep on existing, so it makes one wonder why they don't reveal themselves to the world. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: The entire plot stems from Derek callously informing a young fan that he has no chance of becoming a professional athlete. While he may have had a point, he was needlessly cruel about it. A disappointed Carly calls Derek out when he vents his frustration from costing his team an important hockey match by brutally destroying Randy's dreams of becoming a famous rockstar one day. The kid is fourteen years old and is reduced to tears from Derek's words. In the process, Carly ends her relationship with him, not before saying that his biggest flaws are his inability to be optimistic and that he can't say "What If". Tracy gives a minor one to Derek after he lost everything, saying that he hurts himself more than others with his reputation of shattering people's dreams. In response, Derek orders him to get out of his house. | |
