Tooth is the worst fairy movie I have seen. It is such a shame because they had a strong storyline to work with and had all the right parts to develop into a great movie. Too bad they lost the story in the production. The result is a movie that should appeal to the entire family, but will only hold the interest of the youngest of children.

I found it painful to watch Fairyland being dragged through the mud, gutter and sewer. It was a repulsive route to take with the fairies!

The main plot: Mrs. Claus has taken away all the fairies' magic. Everything that used to be done by magic is now done by machine. Christmas gifts are now bought, instead of being made by elves.

Tolly's parents are in grave financial trouble, so when she loses a tooth, she asks the tooth fairy for a qazillion dollars. Tooth, an unhappy rebel, decides to grant this one wish just to rock the boat and shake things up.

Crisis: The money that Tooth gave away was for buying Christmas presents for the kids and must be returned or there will be no Christmas.

Complication: The Easter Bunny has accidentally brought Tolly's parents to Fairyland and must figure out how to deal with them.

Other complication: Mr. Plug of Plug Security writes for a tabloid and is determined to prove that fairies exist. He will go to any extreme to capture one alive. He is an ever-present danger for all fairies and he manages to complicate everything they do with his attempts to capture them.

See, the story was right, and there's plenty there to build upon. How can anyone turn that kind of storyline into worthless crap? Tooth did exactly that.

There have only been a few times that I felt like my purchase of a movie was an absolute waste. Often I have been disappointed with movies, but if I don't like them, I will donate them to a local library and hope that someone will get some enjoyment out of them -- you know, that "different strokes for different folks" thing. But this movie is so bad that I would not even donate it to the library because I do not want children to watch it and have their image of fairies ruined. Likewise, I have not identified one actor from this movie. They might not be ashamed of their involvement with the film, but that's okay because I am likely ashamed enough for all of them. They should have had enough compassion for the world of folklore to have declined these roles.

If you are looking for a fairy movie for your family, get Dazzle. It's at the polar extreme from this mess.
