Great movie to watch with my 9 year old son. Loved the Sound of Music tie-in, Vin Diesel is entertaining and has great "boobies". My son loved the poop humor and the Fireflies using taekwondo against the bullies. Lauren Graham is always lovely, the mom too and the brother from Everyone Loves Raymond! (Sorry I'm terrible with names!) fun family film. Highly recommend it.

I won't go into the somewhat incredible plot line here, but will say that this movie is an underrated gem. Vin Diesel plays his role to perfection and all the kids are solid in their roles as well. For adults the movie is sort of silly, and anyone who knows anything about Navy SEALS isn't going to believe he was assigned to babysitting duty, but for kids this movie is a classic. My daughter must have seen it, oh, a few dozen times and therefore, for sheer entertainment value alone, it was worth buying the DVD. The truly great thing about the film is how it shows that children & teens are capable of doing things they don't believe they can and that with adult support and guidance they can achieve whatever they want to achieve. Notice I said, 'adult,' not parental. Vin Diesel is acting as a parental substitute but he's also every martial arts teacher, play director and driving instructor who ever lived. He also shows that you can be firm yet not abusive in raising kids, and that respect and discipline of one's self is paramount, which coming from Vin Diesel's persona is a powerful message.Aside from the affirmation of adults as teachers and role models, and the "You Can Do It!" shout out to kids, there's also the indelible vision of Vin Diesel doing this Peter Panda song and dance routine. But even that is proof that if you love someone, you'll do all sorts of crazy things for their happiness - and sometimes the payoff will be greater than you ever imagine.

I honestly don't understand any of the positive reviews. I like Vin Diesel, but the Kindergarten Cop he's trying to be neither seems badass enough nor comical enough. It's just flat. In a movie like this if it ditches realism than it has to be funny enough to make up for it. But what it delivers is plain ridiculous with both the "special-op" side being unreal and the family side being unfunny. I genuinely think Big Mama's House (the first one) was MUCH funnier than this. And I'm not even black mind you. Even thou the covert-op in that movie was unrealistic, the family situations and some suggestive grownup humor were actually funny. In comparison The Pacifier is nothing but slap- stick.

The Pacifier is a great family film that is filled with action and adventure. When i saw the bad reviews and comments, i thought it was gonna be terrible but it wasn't that bad. Some parts had its flaws but it was mostly entertaining and fun. Vin Diesel as the lead role was pretty good. A funny part in the movie is when Shane was wrestling with the vice-principal. It was also cool when the robbers broke into the children's house then Vin Diesel (Shane Wolfe) started fighting them and using cool techniques. The fight scenes were cool. I also like the part near the end when Shane had to do that panda dance to unlock the code to get that device. That was pretty sick. It was one of the better scenes in the movie This movie is worth checking out and is surprising at times
