Review:
The movie is supposed about Johnson’s new job, tooth fairies. However, the sequences are flat and we can easily predicted what is going to happened when he do his job.  We can also see a big gap between Johnson and supporting actor like Stephen Merchant and Billy Crystal. Its look likes there are lack of comic chemistry between these actors. However, the movie is only successful when the hero lives in the real world, struggle to bond with his girlfriend son who is talented in music but has no self confidence and wrestling with his own disappointment and frustrated. It’s a good start for Johnson to start acting in this kind of comedy especially when he is surrounding with children. Overall, the story line is less predictable than what we can expect. It’s a good think as we will not easily get bored and keep our curiosity till the end of the movie.
