Why so much hype?

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Let this serve as an example for an actor who does not have to do anything in this kind of roles. I was really surprised to see Vin Diesel trying to bring this movie to a good end, and I still do not understand why it was Vin who ventured into this project, maybe they offered him a lot of money or what I know, but this is Definitely a setback in his career. If in "XXX" Vin Diesel promised something interesting because of his physique, here, it really is a flop.The discourse here is to entertain with the gap between a main character with certain physical characteristics and the environment in which he lives. Then we find the variants that point directly to all situations embodied in the tape are funny by the mere fact of seeing a lord of voluptuous physical surrounded and charged with watching over children and adolescents. Undoubtedly this proposal was seen and too similar in another film that had as protagonist Arnold Schwarzenegger ("Kindergarten Cop", 1990). But beyond that, the film is not overwhelming from any point of view from the humorous aspect, nor from mere entertainment. Of course we should not look for messages or morals to this series of nonsenses that constitutes "The Pacifier".A film with forced plot, which highlights a military education as a narrative methodology, which has nothing to do with the childhood pastime that in definitive constitutes this failed proposal.

Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) fails to rescue security designer Howard Plummer (Tate Donovan). The secret program GHOST is still missing and Shane is assigned to watch over Plummer's children possibly find GHOST in the house. Captain Fawcett (Chris Potter) escorts the widow Julie (Faith Ford) to Zurich to open a recently discovered safety deposit box. This leaves Shane in charge of five kids, the nanny Helga (Carol Kane), and a guard duck. The oldest Seth (Max Thieriot) is in trouble with Vice Principal Dwayne Murney (Brad Garrett). Zoe (Brittany Snow) is the popular cheerleader but she has problems of her own. Principal Claire Fletcher (Lauren Graham) is much nicer.The movie starts with a weak version of a 007 action scene. I don't think it's necessary especially if this movie wants to be a fun family broad comedy. Vin Diesel is fun to make fun of. That's where the movie works best and where the movie should exist. He could actually be quite a fun straight man in a comedy parodying his tough guy image. This is not that movie. Vin Diesel being annoyed with the five kids and the duck is the essence of what this movie should have been.

The Pacifier is a 2005 film from Walt Disney Pictures and stars Vin Diesel from Fast & The Furious franchise,Morgan York from Cheaper By The Dozen,Brittany Snow from John Tucker Must Die,Laura Graham from Gilmore Girls.Brad Garret from Night & The Museum and Tangled.Its about this Navy Seal marine called Shane Wolfe(Diesel)who rescues a man(played by Tate Donovan who voiced Hercules in the same name as the film)who is a family man who gets killed by these bad guys. So Wolfe is sent to take care of the deceased man's family (The Plummers) to protect them from the bad guys who are after a device called The Ghost(which is a chip).But who are the bad guys and will Wolfe be able to protect The Plummers from harm?Overall it was a nice film for the whole family to enjoy and even though I'm a single 20 something year old who loves watching family movies but hey I love Disney movies and it was nice to see Vin Diesel star in a movie that wasn't an action packed flick with blown up cars;even though this movie had A lot of action packed sequences too. My final verdict is this ignore the critics and just either rent it out or buy it(or if its on TV record it like me as it was on TV this morning and I recorded it on VHS as it is very hard to get this on DVD anywhere where I'm from) so yeah watch it and see what you think of it.7 out of 10.

You can't always listen to critics. Sometime's you have to see for yourself. The Pacifier is a delightful family film and quite funny too. Don't get me wrong it's far from perfect. But at least it's decent enough to kill some time with your family.Before watching this movie i knew for a fact it wasn't going to be perfect, or even brilliant. I though it would be a typical family movie with one or two laughs every now and then. Was i right? Not really. If your watching this on your own, good luck. You may find some pacific scenes quite original and cool but you may be a bit let down. But if your watching this with kid's it will be more enjoyable. Because your kid's will be happy with it and then you would too.The casting was OK. nothing brilliant but decent. Vin Diesel obviously stand's out here. And yes his role as a navy marine coming to take care of some kid's with a unknown mystery of a tape going on in the house. Suit's him perfectly. So don't listen to people that say's it the role wasn't for him. In fact if it wasn't for him, many of you people here would'nt be reading this or attempting to see this film. He was the main cause to the pacifier success.Even though some bit's were quite lame and weird. The Pacifier is an amazing family film full with laughs,action and a twist. Go see it with your kid's!
