Never one to turn away from the outrageously lucrative realm of family-friendly films, Johnson strapped on a pair of wings (and got to share scenes with Julie Andrews!) in this tale of a hockey player sentenced to magical Tooth Fairy duty as a way of redeeming his character flaws. It’s hardly a memorable movie, but it’s wholesome as hell–and offers early-career proof that the Rock has somehow managed to cleave a path through life devoid of cynicism, which might be his greatest superpower.
