Reviews for The Pacifier
The Pacifier provides passable, albeit predictable, family fare sure to please the kids without forcing their adult counterparts to whine like babies.

Blah comedy.
03/04/05
The easily entertained may be mollified by this unimaginative variation on Kindergarten Cop, but anyone expecting more than formulaic pabulum will feel a temper tantrum coming on long before the film makes its way to the predictably happy ending.
03/04/05
As stinky as the diapers star Vin Diesel constantly keeps sticking his hands in.
03/04/05
Fails on both an emotional and comedic level.
06/25/05
I realize this is The Pacifier and not Vera Drake, but how this film strains credulity smacks of contempt for a paying audience
07/04/05
Pacifiers are made to appease toddlers, but for the movie version, even that may be a stretch.
03/04/05
Top CriticPacifying, not exciting, is this movie's unalterable mission.
03/04/05
Will sate teens and younger audiences and at least not shame their accompanying guardians.
03/03/05
Maybe it’s a good thing the film is nearly a complete wreck, because it does provide a strong reminder just how much care and effort went into Kindergarten Cop.
03/03/05
The good news is that the film accelerates just when Vin Diesel’s acting ability starts to wane.
06/07/05
A formulaic Disney comedy.
03/04/05
Top CriticVin Diesel has a lot of charm and he's not worried about looking foolish (which is a good thing because he looks foolish a lot).
03/08/05
You can see the fingerprints of lots of other projects on The Pacifier, so the surprise is that the movie is as sweet and endearing as it is.
03/03/05
Vin Diesel makes a shaky foray into kiddie films with The Pacifier
03/05/05
The Pacifier isn't going to redefine kids' films, but it's far less painful than what it could have been.
03/04/05
As new kids movie star Ice Cube takes over Vin Diesel's XXX role, the once promising star of the Riddick franchise here descends into a horrific holding pattern.
03/11/05
The film doesn't succeed on any level.
