Reviews:
” …the image of the fairy, which is revealed early, is not scary at all and looks more like a Halloween costume that someone didn’t know what to do with and ended up in this movie. The Return of the Tooth Fairy is a disaster from start to finish. From the visual aspect to the plot and acting, nothing works in this movie.” 10th Circle
“There’s a nice bit of extension of the Fairy story towards the end, some good uses of the TF’s ability to appear in the guise of others […] Warren is constantly improving as a filmmaker, and one should not forget the meagre resources with which she’s working; Return of the Tooth Fairy is very watchable and, in the first half at least, at times genuinely suspenseful.” Dark Eyes of London
“Whilst there are massive improvements in production in Return of the Tooth Fairy – at least compared to the first film in the series – the movie is ultimately let down by the performances of the majority of the cast. I say majority as, like a lot of Champ Dog Films’ output, they have found a cracking female lead […] in actress Katie McKenna, making her film debut.” Nerdly
“I felt the first film was as bland as they come, here though the directing seemed much better, add a serviceable soundtrack and some half-decent cinematography and you have a better movie. Tooth Fairy 2 is a giant leap up from before, yet to get the most out of it I would say that first film is required viewing.” The Rotting Zombie
“It does get a lot of mileage out of the effective use of sound. But this is film not radio, showing some of the carnage helps. The real problem though is the Tooth Fairy itself. It never looks like anything other than someone in a mask. Probably a plastic one judging by the way it reflects the light. If you’re going to make a monster movie, you should at least get the monster right.” Voices from the Balcony
