A yawn-by-numbers romper-room dud that is nevertheless shrewd enough to tweak its star, Vin Diesel, for becoming a joke in less time than it took him to become an action hero.August 16, 2007
Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep.April 29, 2009
Though it does have a talented cast with occasionally charming moments, it's still bad, and brainless.March 10, 2005
There is no pleasure, guilty or otherwise, to be found in The Pacifier.October 18, 2008
It might have been a good career move for Diesel, who cut his teeth on high-octane action, but the script needs a lift and the direction feels lackluster.March 07, 2005
It's so awful. This reminds me, every once in a while on television they'll show failed sitcom pilots that never got picked up by the networks, and this has the feel of something like that.August 07, 2008
Diesel has amply shown his star presence already, and he may even have a flair for comedy (if Hulk Hogan did, why shouldn't he?), but he gets no chance to prove it here.March 09, 2005
[An] unintentional fascist satire.November 01, 2006
It's almost as if the writers got carried away with brainstorming all the funny things they could do with Vin Diesel's character.December 28, 2010
A crass, crude, and overly-familiar comedy.September 26, 2005
At one point, Diesel literally wades into a rancid sewer and emerges covered in feces, an image that sadly doubles as a metaphor for his career.
