Toothless (1997)

I'll repeat what I felt was so true from one of the comments. "The whole of it is better that the sum of it's parts" I only caught the last 3/4 of it (I guess), as it was screened on good Friday in Sydney whilst having a little lunch. I had a good time with it and it did not spoil my sandwiches. Fast paced, no nonsense about its nonsense because it's there purposely, it's simple and everyone do their bit to make it work smoothly. Unpretentious just there to entertain and if you don't mind, to think a little as well. So gross you have to be blind no to see the deliberation in it. Yet as said before it works and judging from the comment The "Yes" take it from the "No" I understand it's not compulsory to make people to like it, but what puzzles me it why on earth some people disliked it so much, presumably watched the whole thing, and even took the trouble to put a comment, but not the trouble to look at Kirstie Alley name to write it correctly. (Not that I am an expert speller and did double check my own spelling for the exercise). If you're not obsessed with reality and don't mind a little dream and fun and light entertainment - go for it. mm

With abominable direction, surreal close ups, nasty camera work that has direct shots of the sun, this is surely a contender for the worst movie ever. So bad its painful, its no excuse that its a Disney film, or a film for kids, even they have some taste.Its a shame that 2 reasonable stars got caught up in this disaster, Lynn Redgrave does her best amid the surreal camera panning, but its still a train wreck.Kirstie Alley seems to bumble through it as best as she can, though she does seem uncomfortable at times.It has to be said, this film is worse than toothache.

It is remarkable that Disney wants to teach American children that dentists will be punished after death for the pain they have inflicted on their patients. Don't they use anesthesia in the U.S.? I think the American Dentists' Association should demand that Disney withdraw this film from the market. It is often shown on TV channels in Europe, where it is all the more grotesque because we do not teach our children silly lies like the tooth fairy.What about surgeons? Or ear doctors? Or the personnel performing colonoscopy? Or the IRS employees? Don't they deserve some punishment after death, too? In addition, the film is charmless and Alley really unsympathetic.

This movie was a great show of Kristy ally's personality. I loved how she played her character. OK so i might let a bit of the story out in this, but i feel that if you want to see it badly enough the bits i give out will just inspire you to view the movie. It is a great Comedy as well as a movie that pulls at the heart strings. It shows how a woman has to come to grips with things she has put aside because of her career and realizes that love is possible. Through the multiple children and the parents she interacts with it shows her the lesson she was meant to learn. I think it was a great movie. I highly recommend this to mothers and daughters to watch, together.
