Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Vin Diesel is game to soften his tough-guy image in iThe Pacifier/i, 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 iKindergarten Cop/i, 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 iThe Chronicles of Riddick/i. The film limply throws everything it can at you, including the idea of Wolfe directing a community theater production of iThe Sound of Music/i, 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 iEverybody Loves Raymond/i's Brad Garrett as a bombastic vice principal and iGilmore Girls'/i Lauren Graham as Garrett's boss and Diesel's sudden love interest.i--Steve Wiecking, Amazon.com/i

That was the difference. We talked quite a lot about it both immediately after the movie, that we saw at the local multiplex, and some six months afterwards. The film certainly made a deep impression on MY kids, that is for sure. br / br /Vin Diesel is actually perfect for the title role, and in fact his very clumsiness that has been observed here, far from being ineptitude, is in fact carrying the whole point. This is far from being a "cute" movie. It deals with terrible events in the life of a family; again, the loss of a parent (a common theme these days, "Land before time", etc), and Vin Diesel's best intentioned and often tremendously slapstick take on the whole thing works well at the kind of level that joyously takes you away from the pain. I think the guy in the role of marine becoming hard and love-at-any-cost parent is a wonderful thing, and as finely done as I have ever seen. br / br /But the undercurrent of the film - not obvious perhaps until you leave the cinema and it hits you some time later - is that Diesel's character in a way is hosting the Dad who we hardly see. He has been invisibly present throughout the film, and the family's love and coherence is a testimony to the integrity of this man, who has gone. The little dance for the small boy is the perfect vehicle for this rememberance. At this point I realised that this film was nothing more than a sincere and moving homage to fatherhood itself. br / br /You might well miss this; but the cinema was dead quiet at that point. And like "Uncle Buck", if you have the eyes to see it, this film holds a tremendous and warm message; a love letter addressed to anyone who is a daddy; very remarkable. br / br /I thoroughly recommend it. br / br / WHAT A FANTASTIC FILM September 11, 2005 I. MRS Furlong (UK) 12 out of 16 found this review helpful I TOOK MY 2 KIDS TO SEE THIS FILM (THE PACIFIER) AND WE DIDNT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT ALL DAY, THIS FILM IS BRILLIANT, AND IS A GREAT FAMILY FILM, LOTS OF FUNNY MOMENTS, AND A REALLY GREAT STORY, THIS IS A TOP CLASS FILM AND WELL DESERVES THE 5 STARS, ORDER THIS AND YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED Fun Movie April 8, 2009 Kelly (Suffolk) I find this film a great watch, it has lots of laughs, some good action scenes and a good storyline. Its a great film for all the family. i would recommend it if you havent seen it and you'll see Vin Diesel in a whole different light. pacifier October 30, 2009 Mr. A. C. Chapman (wales) bought for my 12 year old daughter who'd seen it before.it's a funny film especially with vin diesel playing a "babysitter".great movie for the whole family.. IF YOU NEED A GOOD BABYSITTER CALL VIN DIESEL!! December 31, 2007 Jason Thorne (England / Oxford) There was nothing else on so I thought I would sit and watch Mr Diesel in this comedy about babysitting 5 children. The only difference with this to all the others this was very funny and it worked really well. Everything about the film was watchable and I have to say Vin Diesel was brillant in this film it was nice to see him in a different role. If you are looking for a good family movie then buy this you won't regret it. Showing reviews 1-5 of 11 1 2 3 Next »
