Description:
Walt Disney Pictures presents action hero Vin Diesel (XXX, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) in a fast-paced comedy smash from the director of BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE! Lt. Shane Wolfe (Diesel) is a tough-as-nails Navy S.E.A.L. who has controlled military operations in every corner of the globe. Now the ultimate test comes when he's assigned to protect the home front ... as in a house loaded with five out-of-control kids! But even when he trades combat gear for diapers and juice boxes, it's not just a babysitting job -- it's an adventure!
Amazon.com:
Vin Diesel is game to soften his tough-guy image in The Pacifier, in which he plays hot-shot Navy S.E.A.L. Shane Wolfe, whose latest mission goes awry when the scientist he's sent to rescue is popped off before he can tell Wolfe where he's hidden some Top Secret software something-or-other. Before you can say Kindergarten Cop, Wolfe is assigned guard duty at the scientist's family home, where he's left with some unruly kids when the widow (Faith Ford) takes off to Switzerland to claim her hubby's safety deposit box under the guidance of Wolfe's superior officer. The trouble with this paint-by-numbers fish-out-of-water kiddie comedy is that Diesel himself is a fish out of water in the movie--he's no comic and is far funnier when he's unintentionally spoofing macho heroics in The Chronicles of Riddick. The film limply throws everything it can at you, including the idea of Wolfe directing a community theater production of The Sound of Music, but is just biding its time until the predictable action climax and hugs-all-around denouement. Vin doesn't look embarrassed, but the supporting cast sure does, especially Everybody Loves Raymond's Brad Garrett as a bombastic vice principal and Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham as Garrett's boss and Diesel's sudden love interest.--Steve Wiecking

Rating:  - An Absolute Delight Could have Been Better
An absolute delight but could have been better. This Film was a delight for all ages and all audiences but there could have been better scenes and the movie itself could have been a little more practical. otherwise i recommend it for everyone and say that its very clean with a little bit of everything. The movie starts out with a tough mean looking navy seal whose assignment is to 'babysit' some children. he must do this because the father holds very important information and he has been kidnapped. ...

Who wouldn't love this movie! It's awesome and the whole family can enjoy it.
Rating: - Vin Diesel is the most EPIC actor of my generation
Pound for Pound, Vin Diesel is the best actor in Hollywood. With such critical acclaim from Fast and Furious, Chronicles of Riddick 1,2, &3...11, Saving Private Ryan (Caparzo, the guy who gets taken out by a sniper. He is without question very EPIC and if you didnt pick up the sarcasm, you probably wont enjoy his finer works in A Man Apart, XXX, and Boiler Room. But if you enjoy Lady in the Water, you'll enjoy Vin's entire catalogue.
Rating: - Good Quality Family Entertainment
In an age when most of what's on television is not worth watching, we've turned to buying DVD's and creating our own television programing. "The Pacifer" was a great addition to our library. It is one film we will definitely watch several times.
Rating:  - Kindergarten Copy
I don't understand Vin Diesel. He starts off as a goofy-looking breakdancer, builds up muscles and a glass-swallowing voice, becomes an action-flick superstar, and then he makes this flaming pile of cow flop. What? He couldn't have made another Riddick movie? Fast and the Furious 12 not looking like a good career move? The Pacifier surely wasn't a better option.
Anyway, much like Arnold Schwarzanegger doing "Kindergarten Cop", Sly Stallone doing "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot", and Pacino ... Read More
