I realize Walt Disney Pictures markets for the family, but is necessary to dumb down the story this much?

The Pacifier -- cute and cuddly, mind-numbing, cotton candy guaranteed to pacify everyone in the family.

| Nov 14, 2019

A crass, crude, and overly-familiar comedy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Though it does have a talented cast with occasionally charming moments, it's still bad, and brainless.

| Apr 29, 2009

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.

| Oct 18, 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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep.

| Aug 16, 2007

It's almost as if the writers got carried away with brainstorming all the funny things they could do with Vin Diesel's character.

full review in Greek

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2006

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.

a nice, safe family film

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2005

Frankly, to call The Pacifier a "cookie cutter" movie is an insult to the folks who actually make cookie cutters.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 9, 2005

The film doesn't succeed on any level.

| Original Score: 30/100 | Jul 5, 2005

I realize this is The Pacifier and not Vera Drake, but how this film strains credulity smacks of contempt for a paying audience

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jul 4, 2005

Children under the age of 12 and teenagers who never set foot in a library might get some cheap thrills out of this refuse.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 28, 2005

Fails on both an emotional and comedic level.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 25, 2005

The Pacifier is typically Disney: non-offensive to the point of banality.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 23, 2005

...perfect for less-discriminating viewers, and those who just want a 98-minute respite from using their brain.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2005

The good news is that the film accelerates just when Vin Diesel's acting ability starts to wane.

| Original Score: C | Jun 7, 2005

Just funny enough to recommend and it has a lot of heart.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 2, 2005
