Scores a goal for kids and adults alike. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Dwayne Johnson's energetic performance enlivens an otherwise by-the-numbers family comedy. - 50
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The comedy is so lame that the whole enterprise comes across as depressing. - 50
Arizona Republic
Focus. Tooth Fairy isn't as bad as you may have feared. It's not all that good, either, but at least it's possible to sit through it and hold down your popcorn. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
There's no way I can recommend this movie to anyone much beyond the Tooth Fairy Believement Age, but I must testify it's pleasant and inoffensive, although the violence in the hockey games seems out of place. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
That Disney touch (which even Disney has trouble replicating) is missing. Even the hockey is unconvincing. - 38
Chicago Tribune
The poster’s the funniest thing about the project: Johnson, sporting a pair of fairy wings larger than his forearms, glaring at the camera. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
Michael Lembeck directs with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, pounding every joke and cliche until they are flat, flat, flat.
