Summary: It's confirmed...
Review: ...there is no God. If there is, he is a sadistic, evil God for allowing this movie to be made.
I am shocked - nay, DISGUSTED - that it has four and a half stars at Amazon. From one reviewer to another: what is wrong with you people!? This had to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen! Every video guide - even ones I disagree with - hate it. Every one I know who has seen this movie hates it. I have officially lost all real faith in Amazon's grading system. What does it say when Amazon's reviewers give "Toothless" a higher rating than they did "Citizen Kane"?
Now you're probably asking yourself, "Just why do you hate this movie with such esteemed passion?" Well, that's easy to answer. One major reason is that this has to be some of the worst filmmaking I have ever seen in my life. Somebody find Melanie Mayron and give her a restraining order for fifty miles within any given movie set. Some scenes looked like they were directed with inspiration from crime dramas like "The Shield" or "Homocide: Life on the Street" - you know, the camera is handheld, gets in the faces of the actors, moves around at an annoying rate. This does not work for a direct-to-video family comedy about the tooth fairy...heck it doesn't even work for things like putting the remote down on the table. (seriously, did we need to suddenly go into "Shield" mode for that part?)
And how about all the glaring plotholes? For example, Kirstie Alley is told to pass over to Heaven you need to show true, unconditional love. Problem here: in the beginning of the movie we really didn't see Alley's character as anything evil, in fact we're told she grew up with a single father and they both got along well. Isn't that love? Alley's character even points it out. What is the movie's response? "Dad's don't count!" Thanks movie you just dissed every respectable father in the world. And did they really expect us to believe that every kid in the world was going to try and see the tooth fairy because one dopey kid said he saw it?
A movie with horrible directing, an atrocious script, and a hero that lets a school bully two feet shorter in height boss him around is NOT supposed to get four and a half stars. I declare a glitch in the Matrix, and ask the staff at Amazon to dispatch their agents to isolate this area and eliminate the problem.

Summary: This movie's funny, heart-warming and full of Disney magic
Review: From the very moment the movie begins--you are swept into this charming and funny story, a twist on the whole Tooth Fairy legend. It's script is smart and clever, completely holding your attention and making you laugh at the same time you are crying. Kirstie is great as the Tooth Fairy and Lynn Redgrave is excellent as the ominous Rogers. The whole family will enjoy--for all ages, not just kids! This one should have been in the movie theaters instead of TV because it's a heck of a lot better than most of the poopy we pay $8.50 for! Enjoy this--I know you will!

Summary: Enjoyable, Fun, Funny, and Entertaining
Review: I bought this movie in 1998 when I had returned to the USA
and was single-parenting to my disabled son. He was a movie
buff, and I needed all the help I could get to keep him
entertained. This movie got a lot of mileage with him, and
I enjoyed it as well.
The story begins with one Dr. Katharine Lewis (Kirstie Alley)
a dentist's daughter who becomes a dentist when she grows up.
Her friend (Melanie Mayron) nags her about how she can't be
happy if she's not in a relationship, but Dr. Lewis pays no
attention to such talk. Then through an accident, Dr. Lewis
finds herself going into the Next World. Panicked by the
prospect that she is actually dead ("I've never been dead
before!"), she eventually meets the one who will be her
overseer in this transitional world that she learns is Limbo,
a rather humorless officer, Rogers (Lynn Redgrave) who informs
her that she must do community service to earn her right to
enter Heaven or else she will take an express ride down on
the Hellevator -- which the officer greatly prefers and does
not hide the fact. Accidentally, Dr. Lewis chooses her duty,
which turns out to be the Tooth Fairy. She is told she must
collect the teeth of the children each night while they
sleep but must never interact with any humans or else she
will forfeit her right to Heaven.
What Dr. Lewis does not expect is that any child who has not
lost all his baby teeth can still see her. When a child
wakes up and sees her, she finds herself in a jam. Before
long, she finds herself being a counselor and confidante to
the children, and the children start yanking their teeth on
purpose just to meet the Tooth Fairy. This news gets back to
Rogers, who is quick to warn her that it will cost her if she
persists. Of course, Dr. Lewis persists, thinking she can
somehow make a difference -- and ends up meeting a widower
with a child and falls in love. Eventually, she breaks the
ultimate rule and lets adults see her. She is taken back to
Limbo with the intention of sending her to Hell.
She recovers from her accident to learn that she has been
given another chance. She meets with the widower and child,
and sees that Rogers is there to warn her that she is still
being watched.
The movie is classic Disney entertainment with tons of clever lines and a happy ending. Kirstie Alley is at her comic best, with Lynn Redgrave playing a perfect foil in the role of the dour Rogers. For a movie that is uncomplicated fun, this one is a good bet.

Summary: Disney has done it again!
Review: I caught Toothless on the Disney Channel late one night and watched the entire show! My kids adored it and we've watched it each time it's played. It's a wonderful delightful show. It touches hearts of adults and keeps the magic alive for kids. You won't be disappointed that's for sure.

Summary: Had To Have It
Review: My children loved this movie the first time they saw it, and each time it's on the Disney Channel, they clamour to see it again. They are now 8 and 11, a boy and a girl, and they both laugh and cry like it's the first time. I guess it has achieved a kind of "classic" status in our household. I know they will watch it repeatedly when we have it, it's a real "Feel Good" movie. It achieves a fine balance of humor and the resolution of an ethical dilemma in a smooth, tasteful manner (no sex, no violence, a la Disney); a rare feat that stories, either in cinema or the written word seldom accomplish. The plot is simple enough for young children, entertaining the young with slap-stick humor and predictable shticks, all the while laced with more mature references and the sweet sarcasm for which Kirstie Alley is so well known.Alley gives a wonderfully rich performance as a self-centered dentist who, after being fatally struck by a car (no blood or gore), finds herself in limbo between heaven and "down there." Her life is "played back", and is lacking in the attributes which typically earn one a more direct route to heaven. She is offered a chance to redeem herself but isn't too thrilled about the means through which this redemption is to be accomplished...until she runs into a boy who not only SEES her, not only on the physical plain, but sees her morally, sees her "goodness" and presumes to rely on her for sage advice. In the end, lessons are learned by all, love reigns supremeI feel good about buying it, and I feel good about what liking this movie enough to want to own it says about my children.
