What happens if a hard-charging hockey player is sentenced to work as real tooth fairy? 20th Century Fox has just released the first trailer for "Tooth Fairy" via Yahoo! Movies and offered a look at the difficulties The Rock's Derek Thompson faces when he reluctantly learns his way to be the mythical character.
Derek "The Tooth Fairy" Thompson is a minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. Often discouraging youngsters from their dreams, he is sentenced to hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand.
At first, the meanest man in hockey can't handle the task forced upon him. He finds himself bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes, doing what tooth fairies do. But, not everything is a mess. As he slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.
"Tooth Fairy" is a comedy movie from director Michael Lembeck. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson leads with Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal in supporting roles. Originally scheduled for release on November 13, 2009, it will open wide in theaters across the U.S. on January 22, 2010.
