I first saw this movie on the Disney Channel and was in the mood for something light-hearted and funny.It is a little on the corny side.. but it definitely was fun and enjoyable to watch.Especially seeing Kirstie Alley at the moments she is trying to fly.The end was also very touching.. a typical Disney movie.Highly recommended if you have kids.. I give this movie my 5 stars.

I really was attatched to this movie, because it showes the love of a dead, self thoughtfull dentist, that died getting run over by a car, and was angry about it.

I first saw Dr. Katherine Lewis (Kirstie Alley) as a rude, stuck up, only 1 friend allowed type of person.

Lynn Redgrave (Rogers) did a spectacular job in the movie.

I liked how this movie showed her love for the world changing, and before hating, then loving.

Conclusion:

Buy it! 10 stars (if an option from 0-10 scale)

I bought this movie in 1998 when I had returned to the USA

and was single-parenting to my disabled son. He was a movie

buff, and I needed all the help I could get to keep him

entertained. This movie got a lot of mileage with him, and

I enjoyed it as well.



The story begins with one Dr. Katharine Lewis (Kirstie Alley)

a dentist's daughter who becomes a dentist when she grows up.

Her friend (Melanie Mayron) nags her about how she can't be

happy if she's not in a relationship, but Dr. Lewis pays no

attention to such talk. Then through an accident, Dr. Lewis

finds herself going into the Next World. Panicked by the

prospect that she is actually dead ("I've never been dead

before!"), she eventually meets the one who will be her

overseer in this transitional world that she learns is Limbo,

a rather humorless, pompous officer, Rogers (Lynn Redgrave)

who informs her that she must do community service to earn

her right to enter Heaven or else she will take an express

ride down on the Hellevator -- which the officer greatly

prefers and does not hide the fact. Accidentally, Dr. Lewis

chooses her duty, which turns out to be the Tooth Fairy. She

is told she must collect the teeth of the children each night

while they sleep but must never interact with any humans or

else she will forfeit her right to Heaven.



What Dr. Lewis does not expect is that any child who has not

lost all his baby teeth can still see her. When a child

wakes up and sees her, she finds herself in a jam. Before

long, she finds herself being a counselor and confidante to

the children, and the children start yanking their teeth on

purpose just to meet the Tooth Fairy. This news gets back to

Rogers, who is quick to warn her that it will cost her if she

persists. Of course, Dr. Lewis persists, thinking she can

somehow make a difference -- and ends up meeting a widower

with a child and falls in love. Eventually, she breaks the

ultimate rule and lets adults see her. She is taken back to

Limbo with the intention of sending her to Hell.



She recovers from her accident to learn that she has been

given another chance. She meets with the widower and child,

and sees that Rogers is there to warn her that she is still

being watched.



The movie is Disney entertainment with tons of clever lines

and a happy ending. Kirstie Alley is at her comic best. Lynn

Redgrave's performance as the dour Rogers is priceless. The

soundtrack has hits by the Beach Boys that give the film a

wackiness that works because the film is a comedy-fantasy

of an off-beat nature, not a serious film. For a movie that

is uncomplicated fun, this one is a good bet.

My children loved this movie the first time they saw it, and each time it's on the Disney Channel, they clamour to see it again.They are now 8 and 11, a boy and a girl, and they both laugh and cry like it's the first time.I guess it has achieved a kind of "classic" status in ourhousehold.I know they will watch it repeatedly when we have it, it's areal "Feel Good" movie.It achieves a fine balance of humor andthe resolution of an ethical dilemma in a smooth, tasteful manner (no sex,no violence, a la Disney); a rare feat that stories, either in cinema orthe written word seldom accomplish.The plot is simple enough for youngchildren, entertaining the young with slap-stick humor and predictableshticks, all the while laced with more mature references and the sweetsarcasm for which Kirstie Alley is so well known.

Alley gives awonderfully rich performance as a self-centered dentist who, after beingfatally struck by a car (no blood or gore), finds herself in limbo betweenheaven and "down there."Her life is "played back",and is lacking in the attributes which typically earn one a more directroute to heaven.She is offered a chance to redeem herself but isn't toothrilled about the means through which this redemption is to beaccomplished...until she runs into a boy who not only SEES her, not only onthe physical plain, but sees her morally, sees her "goodness" andpresumes to rely on her for sage advice. In the end, lessons are learnedby all, love reigns supremeI feel good about buying it, and I feel goodabout what liking this movie enough to want to own it says about mychildren.

From the very moment the movie begins--you are swept into this charming and funny story, a twist on the whole Tooth Fairy legend.It's script is smart and clever, completely holding your attention and making you laugh atthe same time you are crying.Kirstie is great as the Tooth Fairy and LynnRedgrave is excellent as the ominous Rogers.The whole family willenjoy--for all ages, not just kids!This one should have been in the movietheaters instead of TV because it's a heck of a lot better than most of thepoopy we pay $8.50 for!Enjoy this--I know you will!
