It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Vin Diesel stars as a Navy SEAL who had failed to protect the life of a government scientist who had developed a secret device, and now he must watch over his widow and children-and find the secret device, which is located somewhere in the house. Complicating things is the fact that there are enemy agents also looking for same device. But not merely does Diesel watch over and live with the family, he has to play surrogate father to the younger and adolescent children. He also has to deal with an obnoxious school principal, even going so far as to arrange a wrestling match with him at the high school where the teenage son attends.Yes, it's gimmicky all around, and perhaps Vin Diesel was in it on a lark or because he needed money, and he parodies his macho image by doing a Panda dance for a little girl and there are jokes about his male "boobs". Still basically good as silly family entertainment.

After failing to protect a government scientist Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) is given arguably his toughest task yet - looking after the children of the now deceased government scientist. Wolfe is not only tasked with looking after the children but he must also try to locate their father's top secret experiment whilst also trying to protect the children and his experiment from unscrupulous individuals who are trying to get their hands on this document. Could this be Wolfe's toughest assignment yet? Let's face it if you're looking for a film with a good story or if you're looking for anything remotely original then this film is probably going to be a little bit disappointing. It's evident very early on that the story is not really important in this film - even when the film ended I was convinced it only existed to set the film up and end it as it was given barely any focus at any other time. Normally this would bother me slightly but I have to admit that I was so caught up in the zany antics on offer here that I actually stopped caring about the story (which is probably one reason why I enjoyed it so much).When I looked at the premise The Pacifier looked to me like it would be similar to Kindergarten Cop and in a sense it is (albeit crossed slightly with Three Men and a Baby perhaps) - Vin Diesel is essentially in a similar 'fish-out-of water' scenario whereby his toughest assignment is to look after a bunch of unruly kids. I think what makes this film work better than it has any right to is that it doesn't take itself seriously and adopts a very tongue-in-cheek approach. You get to see silly things like Vin Diesel chasing a bus whilst riding a little girl's bike and doing a Panda dance. It's very hard not to laugh when seeing these sorts of things and a lot of the funny stuff here is actually cute rather than being vulgar. Running with the 'not taking itself seriously' theme I was pleasantly surprised that a macho type like Vin Diesel was also prepared to have himself sent up - the scene where the little girl asks him if he's got boobs was brilliant. It's clear that the writers have a good idea of how to make clean gags that work and it's also great that Vin Diesel was a good sport by allowing the p*** to be taken out of him. It's always a bit worrying when you see a macho guy try to do comedy, but like Arnie Vin Diesel clearly has the ability to pull it off and like I say the results are nowhere near as horrendous as you may think.Although The Pacifier is a lightweight and enjoyable romp there are some notable weaknesses; as I've mentioned the main story is quite thin with very little actually driving it forward (it's practically forgotten about for much of it's running time). It's a little clichéd at times and it's also not the most original of films.Whilst it's far from perfect The Pacifier is reasonably funny and it works surprising well due to the fact that it simply doesn't take itself seriously. I cannot guarantee that it will be everyone's cup of tea but I for one quite liked it and think it's a little bit underrated.

After an elite team of S.E.A.L.s fail to rescue a scientist who developed a top secret device, the leader, Wolfe, is assigned to guard the man's children while searching for information on where the device may be hidden inside the house. Along the way, he must cope with rebellious teens, child care, an overbearing school official and foreign spies also looking for the device....Arnie did it with Junior, Hulk Hogan did it with Mr Nanny, Stallone did it with Stop! Or my mom will shoot, now its Diesels turn to make a family friendly film because his star power is slightly waning.And its what you'd expect, he hates them all at first, they hate him, but soon they all learn life lessons from each other, and I do believe that the eldest son even comes out of the closet (but you really have to read between the lines).With these sorts of films, there is always a military style subplot, this one involving a machine called ghost, which causes Diesel to do some action scenes every now and again.Its not funny, predictable, and surprisingly very violent for such a light hearted film.But my daughter loved it, and that's all that matters, but I'm sure anyone over 10 will loathe it....

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.
