Editorial Review:
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!
Description of The Pacifier (Widescreen Edition):
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
The Pacifier (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
The Pacifier 
2009-10-21 - I received the DVD in great condition, great time, and I really enjoyed watching the movie, I never knew Vin Diesel could be funny, I always thought of him as a tough guy... :]
Family action adventure and comedy.
2009-09-27 - Our family enjoyed this movie. It was kid friendly but the adults enjoyed it also. Great movie for kids ages 7 and up.
Entertaining for the kids
2009-07-21 - This movie is totally different from the rest of the film Vin Diesel usually plays. It was very good! The story is funny to watch and there are many situations children will find entertaining!! Really good for those who would like a good funny story with a twist at the end! Like also Lauren Graham in this movie (playing also a different part from that of the Gilmore Girls!)
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's AWESOME
2009-04-18 - I can't say enough how much I enjoy this movie! Vin Diesel is utterly irresistible as his tough guy act seems to play like just that- an act. His strength, warmth, and genuine chemistry with the child actors really shines through. A way too small turn by Lauren Graham is just icing on this family friendly comedy cake. Brad Garret is type-cast annoying in (one of the) villian roles. The beginning of the movie was rather startling as I hoped the father might show up in the end. The fun and sweetness of the many babysitting perils is pure joy. One of the few movies where you can get a good look at Diesel shirtless. Love Vin Diesel, love (most of) the cast, love this movie!!!
