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 WieckingCustomer Review: 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. the mother must go away for a few days and so Mr. Shane Wolfe (vin Diesel) is stuck with a babysitting job. and of course after a few days Shane gets used to handling the teens and diapers and toddlers in the household.... This is a fun filled adventure good for the whole family!
