This kind of kids film should be left to Hollywood. They know how to do them properly, and are willing to cough up an adequate budget.
Tooth has been made on a shoestring and it shows. Its been shot on what appears to be an abandoned airfield in Essex using whatever was left lying around as props; and while its quite clearly set in England, the cast of British actors are forced to adopt feeble American accents and pretend the whole farrago's taking place in some nameless US city.
I assume the producers imagine this will make it saleable to the Americans.
The story's about a Tooth Fairy called Tooth and her quest to bring back the magic that the fairies have lost, but the writers clearly aren't convinced that's a strong enough storyline because they've chucked Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny into the mix to create a confusing, patchwork plot that's neither rewarding nor entertaining.
Harry Enfield's the star of this mess, and he's about as funny as Steve Martin is these days.
I thought kids films of this quality vanished with Screen Test and The Childrens Film Foundation - clearly I was wrong.
