Tooth Fairy

In a bright‑hearted suburban setting where the ordinary collides with the impossible, a celebrated ice‑hockey defender finds his swagger challenged by a whimsical decree from an unseen realm. The film’s tone blends slapstick comedy with a warm, family‑friendly wonder, inviting viewers to glimpse a world where tattered tutus and glittering wings are as legitimate as a locker‑room chant. The bustling streets of the town pulse with the everyday hustle of games and schoolyards, while a hidden Department of Dissemination of Disbelief monitors the fragile balance between belief and doubt.

Derek Thompson is a star on the rink, known for his hard‑hitting defensive play and a nickname that haunts him like a bitter joke—“The Tooth Fairy.” Off the ice he is a self‑styled realist, dismissing bedtime myths as childish nonsense. His partner, Carly, a caring mother, nurtures her two young children’s imagination, especially the little girl who clutches a freshly fallen tooth and anticipates a magical exchange. Derek’s cynicism puts him at odds with the tender optimism that surrounds the household, creating a tension between his hardened public persona and the softer, more vulnerable side he keeps hidden.

When an enigmatic summons arrives from the realm that guards children’s wonder, Derek is thrust into an unexpected role: he must assume the duties of the very fairy he once scoffed at, complete with a sparkling costume and a short‑term contract that threatens longer consequences if he fails. The premise teases a comedic clash of worlds—hockey toughness meets ethereal mischief—while hinting at a journey that could rekindle a long‑lost sense of awe. As he reluctantly steps onto rooftops and slides down chimneys, the film promises a playful exploration of belief, responsibility, and the transformative power of a single week spent in another’s shoes.
