Tooth Fairy 2

Tooth Fairy 2 is a direct-to-video family comedy and a standalone sequel to the 2010 film Tooth Fairy. While the first film starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and found modest success with its blend of humor and fantasy, the sequel replaces him with Larry the Cable Guy in the lead role. Unfortunately, the change in cast and tone results in a film that struggles to recapture the charm of its predecessor.

Larry the Cable Guy plays Larry Guthrie, a fun-loving but immature man who is trying to win back his ex-girlfriend, Brooke. After accidentally telling a young child that the Tooth Fairy isn’t real, Larry is magically sentenced to serve as a real Tooth Fairy. Suddenly, he finds himself wearing wings and a pink tutu, tasked with collecting ten teeth in ten days or risk losing his most cherished memory. With the help of a strict but quirky fairy named Nyx, Larry embarks on a series of silly, chaotic missions to complete his tooth-collecting duties.

Along the way, he tries to prove to Brooke that he has changed for the better. He volunteers at the after-school program she manages, bonds with children, and slowly regains her trust. Despite frequent setbacks and clumsy blunders, Larry eventually learns to be responsible and caring—not only completing his fairy mission but also mending his relationship with Brooke. In the end, they reunite, get married, and even have a child together. The film closes with Larry being called back for more Tooth Fairy duty, suggesting his magical work is not over yet.

Tooth Fairy 2 (2012) - Taste

The movie aims for family-friendly humor and positive messages about believing in magic and second chances. However, many viewers and critics found it lacking. The jokes often fall flat, and the film’s low-budget production values are noticeable. The fantasy elements feel recycled, and the plot is overly predictable. Larry’s comedic style, while familiar to some, doesn’t quite suit the whimsical tone required for this type of story.

Overall, Tooth Fairy 2 may entertain very young audiences with its goofy costumes and slapstick humor, but older viewers and fans of the original film are likely to find it underwhelming. It’s a harmless, feel-good movie—but one that lacks the sparkle and heart needed to stand out in the family comedy genre.
