The third installment of the tooth fairy saga appears to take place twenty to twenty five years after part two. Corey is now an adult and has a daughter Sally who will soon be eighteen and off to college. Sally is annoyed because she and her best friend want to go away for the weekend with two boys. Corey will only allow the trip if he and one of the boys mothers chaperone, much to the teens dismay.
The two adults and four teens arrive in Wales and bring their bags into the house. The teens quickly go on a walk to get away from the adults and buy some alcohol. As the two boys get the booze, the girls are approached by a hobo with items for sale. They waive him off until Sally notices a filthy book under his arm and asks to see it. Surprisingly Sally recognizes this book is about black magic and includes the tooth fairy. Even more surprising, the hobo knows it’s dangerous, stopping her from reading the incantation and insisting that she only look at it, but never say it out loud.
The first night, the kids are allowed to stay outside in tents, which begs the question why did the adults bother to chaperone? The teens act as expected, by drinking, fooling around and reading from the black magic book. Sally knows when her father was younger, the tooth fairy sent him over the edge, yet she still allows herself to be pressured into reading the passage to call forth the monster. As expected, this works out poorly for everyone involved.
The scariest thing about this film is that it sets itself up for a sequel. I half heartedly watched this junk thinking I’m completing a crappy trilogy and discover in the last scene that there’s more planned. ARGH!
Here is another movie where someone has a closeup, their mouth moves, yet no words come out. Also vexing is the breakfast scene where they set out five plates for breakfast and only have five croissants. None of them know Toby is missing yet. So where is his breakfast?
Questions abound. Why does Corey use a full glass of mouthwash to gargle after brushing his teeth? Why would Benji go on vacation with a tooth that needed to be pulled? How does the hobo instantly recognize the book in the dumpster as a black magic book? Why would anyone wear platform shoes to walk through a field and into town? Why would anyone ever want to date Toby? Were there no young looking adults who could pass for teens? Why is Benji always grimacing?

| “Why is there a dead animal in the sink?” It’s supposed to be an animal??? |
 |
| It’s not a glass of juice. It’s mouthwash. |
 |
| What time period does this movie take place in? This is 17 years ago and selfies weren’t really a thing 17 years ago |
 |
| I think they are using this book in all their films since it has a leprechaun and mermaid in it |
 |
| The teens - was there no one more age appropriate. |
 |
| Benji grimacing and Toby being creepy, as usual |
 |
| I find this shot interesting |
 |
| He’s playing the teen, but if you did not know that, he could pass for a teens father |
 |
| Actually like the see through eyes and nose |
