Critic Reviews

Los Angeles Times | Kevin ThomasAdd Critic to Favorites

Has sufficient mayhem to please Diesel's action fans while allowing the star to reach out to family audiences.Read the full review

USA Today | Mike ClarkAdd Critic to Favorites

Low on Diesel fuel, though probably amusing enough if you're part of the intended demographic, which appears to be the age group that likes to stick fingers up noses.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Carla MeyerAdd Critic to Favorites

Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, however, Vin Diesel shows no discernible comedic skills.Read the full review

Headlines

  • The Spy Next Door

    01/09/10 It's a sad day for Jackie Chan fans when the action-comedy star is reduced to a vehicle as lame as "The Spy Next Door." As an undercover CIA agent ill equipped to babysit his girlfriend's three kids, Chan struggles gamely to charm, but the pic's cartoonish jokes and misfired gags are likely to elicit more eye rolls than laughs.  |  Variety
  • Relief from Hollywood's January blahs at art house movie theaters around NYC

    01/07/10 We'll reserve judgment on Jackie Chan 's upcoming family flick "The Spy Next Door," despite its evident similarity to Vin Diesel 's "The Pacifier."  |  New York Daily News - New York NY
  • Total Recall: Vin Diesel's Best-Reviewed Movies

    04/02/09 Obviously, Diesel's films haven't always enjoyed the kindest reviews -- his overall Tomatometer is a rather depressing 21 percent -- but as much as we might like to chuckle at critical turkeys like The Pacifier and Babylon A.D. , the truth is that he's always been much more ambitious than some of his script choices might indicate; though there's no getting around the fact that this list is bogged down with questionable fare like 2002's Knockaround Guys , it would be unfair not to give Diesel credit for the positive reviews he's earned while starring in critical duds ( Find Me Guilty ), the unqualified bright spots on his resume ( The Iron Giant ), or the surprisingly long list of behind-the-scenes credits he's amassed.  |  Rotten Tomatoes
