This sounds bad? No, no, not at all. Not until you've heard the plot of Tooth Fairy, next summer's Dwayne Johnson high-concept fantasy family comedy.
Does an Owen Wilson buddy vampire comedy sound bad now?
* - IMDb plot synopsis says that apparently he tells a six-year-old the tooth fairy isn't real. Kids these days.
The film centers on Derek Thompson (Johnson), a minor-league hockey player whose nickname is the Tooth Fairy because of his ability to knock out opposing players' teeth. When he discourages a youngster's hope*, Derek is ordered to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with wings, magic wand and frilly tutu. Along the way, he rediscovers his forgotten dreams.

Shall this become Rocky's "The Nanny"?
More and more it seems like he's going down the Hogan road in Hollywood, and he's way too good to end up there.

In fairness to all these movies, there are a lot of good movies that have horrible sounding plots:
Those are all pretty well liked movies.
Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.
Five Vermont state troopers, avid pranksters with a knack for screwing up, try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime.
Three middle aged friends try to relive thier college glory days by starting a fraternity.

It's an Owen Wilson vampire comedy from the production company that brought us The Love Guru, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, 27 Dresses, Evan Almighty, The Pacifier, and Shanghai Nights. What's not to bash? Take a look Spyglass Entertainment's production history - other than The Sixth Sense, The Insider, and Sea Biscuit, that's a pretty extensive list of dreck.

But come on, the one about the tooth fairy, nothing good can come from that.
