A crass, crude, and overly-familiar comedy.
December 28, 2010 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review… -
Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep.
August 16, 2007 | Full Review… -
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.
September 26, 2005 | Full Review… -
Fails on both an emotional and comedic level.
June 25, 2005 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review… -
Diesel seems to talk at half-speed most of the time, and doesn't exactly have a natural comic sensibility, but he works hard with a cast of great kids.

Abysmal.

Jun 28, 2011I beared this film, laughed a few times, attempted to relate to the characters, and even semi-enjoyed it at one point. Professionally speaking, however, in the game of establishing a family film that shines as a classic in the light of basic walkovers, this film didn't even put a dent in the barrier.Jackson W Super Reviewer
