There's always been a place in movies for lunkheads, especially those who come from wrestling, a form of comedy as tightly scripted as most movies. Who can forget Andre the Giant in The Princess Bride or Jesse Ventura in Predator (before he became governor of Minnesota)? There was also the beloved bald-headed Tor Johnson, the Swedish scrapper who turned zombie for Ed Wood in Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Dwayne Johnson comes from two other proud lines of canvas men. His father was Afro-Canadian wrestler Rocky Johnson. His maternal grandfather was the legendary ''High Chief'' Peter Fanene Maivia of Samoa, who wrestled professionally in New Zealand and the US from 1964 to 1981.
As ''The Rock'', Dwayne Johnson became a hugely successful performer in the ring, after his professional football career went sour. He now largely plays sporting heroes in movies. Doubtless, a term as governor somewhere is in his future. A career as an actor might be too much to hope for.
Johnson is blessed with extraordinary looks - the body of a Transformer, the simplified face of a cartoon superhero and a dazzling smile that must have kept several orthodontists in work for years. He's likeable enough on film, in a limited sort of way. The more he plays himself - and there is little choice - the more natural his humour; the more he tries to play a role, the stiffer and hammier he gets. His first few movies as a leading man, such as The Game Plan, have been gormless and sentimental. Tooth Fairy follows in the same vein with more humour.
It is a ''family comedy'', but an odd mixture of mawkish sentiment and sporting violence, suggesting that it's trying to please everybody: bone-crunching ice hockey for the boys, sweetness and emotion for the girls.
The film is supposed to reinforce American Christian values. It's another joint venture from the coalition of conservatism that brought us the Narnia films and Bridge to Terabithia. Walden Media is the movie arm of the billionaire born-again Christian Philip Anschutz. They linked up in 2006 with 20th Century Fox, which is of course owned by another committed Christian, Rupert Murdoch.
The hilarious thing about Tooth Fairy is that it is a genuinely camp comedy. In the hands of director Michael Lembeck, who made Connie and Carla, Johnson frocks up in a tutu and Julie Andrews plays a fairy godmother in a Chanel suit. What someone the calibre of Ashley Judd is doing in the film is a mystery but I'm not complaining. And isn't that Billy Crystal dressed like a smart-mouthed, ageing leprechaun?
The big guy plays ice-hockey enforcer Derek ''Tooth Fairy'' Thompson, who's famous for knocking out his opponents' teeth. He's nearing the end of his sporting career and his cynicism shows when he tells a hopeful kid that he'll never be a hockey star. Babysitting for his girlfriend (Judd), he almost tells her six-year-old daughter that the tooth fairy doesn't exist.
That night, in a dream, he is summonsed to the kingdom of the fairies, where a very tall English fairy (Stephen Merchant) explains that he is to be punished. Andrews descends from the sky as a fragrant winged duchess who dislikes being interrupted - a bit like an ageing Mary Poppins with attitude. She sentences him to two weeks as a real tooth fairy, and Crystal kits him out with a tooth fairy's tool kit: a paste to make himself invisible, a wand and powder to erase people's memories. He's eventually dressed in blue satin, after a mix-up in magic that kits him out in a pink tutu.
The movie is funnier than I expected and still not funny enough. The playfulness in the script may have come from Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz - two seasoned pros - although I can't tell if it was their idea. They have long-standing ties to Crystal and Judd, which might explain their casting, but Mandel and Ganz are also well-known script doctors, and there are three other credited scribes.
Whichever, the film bubbles along nicely for the first few reels, as the Samoan Rock gets into a series of pickles while sneaking into children's bedrooms (to put a dollar under their pillows). Johnson feigns indignation at having to be a fairy; Andrews camps it up as his boss, behind gauzed lenses; Judd tries to look like she'd fancy this egotistical mountain of meat.
Ideology then takes over and the film becomes a boring lecture about the need to believe in fairies and dreams. Cynicism is routed etc.
It is only faint praise to say that this is a better comedy than The Game Plan. Johnson isn't aiming high anyway - and he's achieving it.

The Godmother $6.99 Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's The Godmother puts a new twist in contemporary fantasy with the assertion that fairy godmothers exist here-and-now and they have magical power that allow them to intervene in real-world problems. So, what if someone wished for a fairy godmother to help the entire city of Seattle? An overworked, overstressed social worker named Rose Samson does just that when she makes an idle wish on a mustard seed. Felicity Fortune of Godmothers Anonymous shows up to help. Rose Samson is neither fashion-model beautiful nor a twit and she happily joins forces with Felicity Fortune, a "Godmother" who demonstrates that Grimm's fairy tales are still relevant in our humdrum modern world. What nobody in the fairytales ever says directly, though, is that fairy godmothers are on a magical budget so every possible way they can get human beings or animals to assist each other they will try rather than using up their magical means. Still, Felicity encounters many strangely familiar situations. A pretty stablehand named Cindy Ellis is mistreated by her cruel stepsisters. A rock star's daughter, scared of the super model she married, runs away from home and encounters seven Vietnam veterans at an encounter session and retreat. One of them might be a big bad wolf, who knows? The hardest case is that of two children whose parents have become so alienated and stressed out that they ignore the needs of the kids. The children are offered help by a man who builds a gingerbread house at the mall every Christmas. He is the modern day equivalent of a wicked witch or Bluebeard (which is considered a fairytale). He is the scariest of all criminals among us--a child molester and murderer. The good news is, this is a story so we are going to spoil it for you enough to tell you that the kids get away and the wicked man gets what's coming to him. The story is grounded by being set in and around a social-services agency in Seattle and by having a central character who is sympathetic and realisticbut the author still manages to have a lot of fun with the idea. In all their encounters, Rose and Felicity try to blend their magical aid with realistic human initiative and social responsibility. Scarborough's fully-realized settings and the humor built into the mix of magical solutions and grim reality make this work an entertaining and compelling read. |

Godmother $9.99 Lil is an old woman who spends her days shelving rare books in a tiny Manhattan bookstore and lonely nights at home in her apartment. But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked and bound behind her back are white feathery wings–the only key to who she once was: the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with her Prince Charming. But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world. But then one day she meets Veronica–a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with the wrong men–and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she’s been given a chance at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may right her wrong and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for. . . . From the Trade Paperback edition. |
