![]() He has a lot of natural talent he doesn’t need to mug and goof so heavily. Johnson tends to play the part large! Some of that makes sense for a goofy comic fantasy, but I think Johnson overacts too much of the time. Crystal offers a particularly pleasant surprise I’m not a big fan, but he delivers some of the movie’s most amusing bits.Īs for Johnson himself, I think he can be a very good comedic actor, but he goes a bit too far over the top as Derek. All provide pretty fun turns and add verve to simple roles. In addition to Ricky Gervais’s partner Stephen Merchant, we get Julie Andrews as the Fairy Godmother and a cameo from Billy Crystal as a hippie-like fairy outfitter named Jerry. When it entertains, Fairy does so due to a quality cast. Did it surpass those expectations? Yeah, but a little, but not to a tremendous degree. I can’t say that the Clause movies ever did much for me, so I didn’t anticipate a whole lot from the high-concept Fairy. Heck, director Michael Lembeck even sat behind the camera for both the second and third Clause flicks, so definite similarities are to be expected. ![]() Both treat childhood fantasy figures as reality and force disbelievers to embrace those positions. While I wouldn’t call it a carbon copy, it’s not a stretch to view Fairy as a kissing cousin to 1994’s The Santa Clause. Derek learns the tricks of the trade from his trainer Tracy (Stephen Merchant) and goes through awkward rites of Fairydom. It turns out Tooth Fairies are for real, and Derek have to pay for his transgression of disbelief. This lands Derek in the doghouse with Carly – and with a summons to come to Fairyland for punishment. When his girlfriend Carly (Ashley Judd) asks Derek to leave “Tooth Fairy” money under her daughter Tess’s (Destiny Grace Whitlock) pillow, Derek botches the job and nearly tells Tess that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t exist. He portrays hockey player Derek Thompson, a rough enforcer known as “the Tooth Fairy” due to his jaw-rattling hits. I thought he’d permanently gone the Mellencamp route but the actor’s stage name returns for 2010’s Tooth Fairy. Sure, his early billings were just “The Rock”, but since then, he’s used and dropped his wrestling moniker seemingly at random. There’s no apparent rhyme or reason at work. What’s with Dwayne Johnson’s cinematic identity crisis? Known as “The Rock” during his wrestling career, as an actor, he’s been billed as “The Rock”, “Dwayne Johnson”, and “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson”.
