TOOTH
1/10
UK
2004 : Edouard NAMMOUR : 90 mins
And you thought
visiting the dentist was painful? Try sitting through this jaw-droppingly
awful British kids’ movie in which the Tooth Fairy (Yasmin Paige) – a
feisty girl-power moppet - and her human pals team up to save Christmas
(in a February release?) from the dastardly “fairy hunter” Plug
(Harry Enfield). The script, direction and “special” effects are rotten,
criminally wasting a star-studded cast (Richard E Grant, Stephen Fry etc).
Worst of all, the whole thing – though visibly shot in the Home Counties
- is supposed to be taking place in the good ol’ USA, with the half the
cast putting on unconvincing Yank accents. How does rubbish like this
get green-lit, made and released? Anyone inflicting Tooth on their
offspring should be reported to the social services, pronto.
