-
Educational Value
none
Meant to entertain, not inform.
-
Positive Messages
some
Encourages belief in childhood traditions. It also suggests that the best memories are those that involve people you love and sharing good times, rather than the achievement of material success or awards. It's important for adults to behave responsibly and be considerate of other people.
-
Positive Role Models
a little
When the movie opens, the hero is immature, ignorant, and selfish; he's a study in bad manners and even worse grammar. But as the story continues, he begins to understand the importance of giving to others, appreciating the people who matter, and treating them well. Wealthy people are portrayed as snooty and self-important throughout.
-
Violence & Scariness
very little
A few comical pratfalls -- someone slips on nachos and falls to the floor; one contemptible character is hit by a golf ball and in a later scene falls onto a table. One suspenseful moment when it seems as though an unidentified but vicious dog may be chasing the film's hero.

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this direct-to-video sequel to 2010's Tooth Fairy retains no characters from the original. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been replaced by Larry the Cable Guy, and the only story element that returns is "grown man looks funny in a tutu as he attempts to retrieve recently lost teeth." Tooth Fairy 2's few farcical pratfalls are harmless; the movie's one suspenseful scene has an unseen dog chasing the hero. There's no offensive language, though a lengthy farting sequence is included specifically to elicit laughs if all else fails. Lots of products show up, some of which (Camaro, Wing Shack) are featured as story elements. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails.
What's the Story?
Larry (Larry the Cable Guy) isn't much of a boyfriend. He loses Brooke (Erin Buete), the girl of his dreams, when he opts for a bowling contest instead of an event he knows means a lot to her. A year later, when she's engaged to a rich know-it-all, Larry decides to get Brooke back. But he hasn't quite reformed. In fact, he blows it again at the children's center she runs when he dashes a little boy's belief in the tooth fairy. His sentence, delivered by the magical fairy Nex (Brady Reiter): Larry has to become the tooth fairy's apprentice. He must collect 10 teeth in 10 days and convince five kids to believe in the tooth fairy again or, horror of horrors, the fairy will punish him by taking away his very best memory. It's a tall order, but Larry is game to try.

What is the benefit of fantasies? Do you watch movies to see real life on screen or to see fantasies come to life?
Why is it funny to see a tough guy like The Rock or Larry the Cable Guy wearing a pink tutu? Would it be funny to see a feminine woman wearing "manly" clothes?
