Diesel seems to talk at half-speed most of the time, and doesn't exactly have a natural comic sensibility, but he works hard with a cast of great kids.

Genre: Childrens
Synopsis: Vin Diesel is great as a navy seal turned babysitter in this kid-friendly action comedy. A botched rescue mission (brimming with stunts) results in the death of a scientist and the hospitalization... [More]

Reviews for The Pacifier
Jamais pensei que diria algo assim, mas confesso que, pela primeira vez na vida, senti saudades de Hulk Hogan. Pelo menos ele tem um bigode engraçado.

Sheer boredom, unless you're under the age of 7.

Come and enjoy Vin Diesel as you have never seen him before.

Diesel has fun puncturing his movie persona in The Pacifier. If only this film weren’t so dopey.

Rarely are films produced without an ounce of motivation or purpose, yet The Pacifier was green-lit by one of the world’s largest corporations apparently without anyone realizing that nothing in it makes a lick of sense.

Oh, Vin Diesel, whither your career?

As new kids movie star Ice Cube takes over Vin Diesel's XXX role, the once promising star of the Riddick franchise here descends into a horrific holding pattern.

A shrewd attempt to humanize Vin Diesel, who has been floundering in bloated action blockbusters.

...as an adult I really need more than a few "poopie diaper" jokes to keep me in my theater seat and generate big laughs.

There is no pleasure, guilty or otherwise, to be found in The Pacifier.
03/10/05
It piles on gags about dirty diapers and other ill-timed bodily functions.
03/10/05
Silly as it is, the Disney formula remains viable because it still works
03/10/05
Diesel seems more comfortable barking orders than maneuvering through the nuances of funny business.
03/10/05
Tommy Lee Jones and five cheerleaders; Vin Diesel and five toddlers. What’s next? Harrison Ford and five crazy out of control nursing home patients?
03/09/05
[An] unintentional fascist satire.
03/09/05
A yawn-by-numbers romper-room dud that is nevertheless shrewd enough to tweak its star, Vin Diesel, for becoming a joke in less time than it took him to become an action hero.
03/09/05
The Pacifier marks Vin Diesel's official descent into oblivion.
