This afternoon my hubby and I decided to take in a movie before going grocery shopping. Living in a very small town you can make that decision ten minutes before a movie starts and still get there on time. That is one of the advantages of small ...

Pros: A couple of cool fight scenes
Cons: The son turns into a gay Nazi!

In the opening sequence of The Pacifier, Vin Diesel is leading a group of Navy Seals on a rescue mission for a kidnapped scientist. The scientist (Tate Donovan – "That guy from SpaceCamp") has created some kind of secret military ...

Pros: Cute, funny, nice action sequences, touching in parts
Cons: Mean school staff, son's role not for the squeamish

You had to know this was coming. Anytime one of Vin Diesel's previous roles demanded a sensitive moment, he ate it right up. Or so I gathered, anyway. If you have a tough time imagining Vin doing the Dad thing, take a moment and imagine if they ...

Pros: a few inspired moments
Cons: too preoccupied with copying other films, too predictable, too unbelievable

The Pacifier is a film with some inspired moments, but only when it musters the confidence to quit imitating other films. I liked Kindergarten Cop. I liked Uncle Buck. I didn't like watching them merged, and then copied like a bad rendition of The ...

Pros: I still love listening to Vin Diesel talk
Cons: Too many to list in 15 words

I admit it, I like Vin Diesel. In the past, I’ve enjoyed his movies well enough. He’s taken roles in decent, mindless action movies. This past weekend, while choosing a movie for Family Movie Night, I came across The Pacifier. I ...

Pros: Vin Diesel, Morgan York, Action scenes, and did I mention it has Vin Diesel?
Cons: It is a Disney movie. What more can I say?

For those people who have always wanted me to write shorter reviews, this one is for you. This will be shorter than my usual marathon reading exercise mainly because there is relatively little analysis needed for this movie, and not much to think about. ...

Pros: Max Thieriot, Brad Garrett, some very funny bits, pretty good final sequence
Cons: predictable, beginning was awful, extraneous spy stuff, transition to functioning family too fast

Although hardly original, the new Vin Diesel movie The Pacifier is an enjoyable comedy with just a touch of intrigue and action thrown in for fun. Diesel plays Navy Seal Shane Wolf. We first meet him as he directs a hostage rescue attempt. ...

Pros: Fun enough family fare
Cons: Predictability up the wazoo

I see XXX2 has made it to theatres. I have to wonder what the thinking is behind this. XXX was a flop. From what I remember, it didn’t make that much money, and was panned by both critics and fans alike. I could understand making a sequel to a ...

Pros: Sporadic charms.
Cons:

Just not a very exciting movie. Seems "made by committee."

Honestly, reviewing a movie like THE PACIFIER is an almost pointless exercise. The trailers give you all the idea you need of exactly what to expect. And you’ll be pretty much correct. But, I saw the film (back at its original ...

Pros: Very good production values, good performances, reasonably good storyline.
Cons: Maybe some solutions come a bit too cute.

In this Disney thriller (which means a minimum of bloodshed or even bad manners), Vin Diesel plays a Navy commando assigned to protect a scientist's children. It happened like this, Navy SEAL Shane Wolf (Vin Diesel) led a commando squad into one ...

Pros: Some funny parts for kids, somewhat endearing on a childish level
Cons: Too many to list...not worth the matinee price

Overall, the plot is predictable and the movie is pretty corny. I was looking forward to the movie, actually, as one I could take my young sons to and also enjoy as an adult. I was wrong. The television previews for the movie show one of the ...

Pros: Good for kids & families
Cons: Not good for movie nerds

The Pacifier is almost like sudden death for actor Vin Diesel, where the guy who was once touted as the next big action star a few years ago, is now changing diapers and teaching girl scouts how to fight. Yup, the guy who was once hyped as Triple X is ...

Pros: Vin Diesel and his physical comedy, fight scenes choreography
Cons: Secondary characters not well developed, missed opportunities in the romance subplot

"Shane Wolfe" (Vin Diesel) is a Navy SEAL who leads a mission to save the life of a kidnapped professor (Howard Plummer) for a reason not revealed. However, the mission is a failure when at the last moment, the professor is killed and "Wolfe" is shot. ...

Pros: Surprisingly good acting and surprisingly restrained violence; good role models for both sexes
Cons: Formulaic, predictable, trite, expected... Does any of this surprise you?

Anyone who can't figure out the plot from the movie poster just isn't trying. Tough guy (Navy SEAL, of course) Vin Diesel must look after several (5 in fact) children and protect them from baddies who range from Cub Scouts (well, Cub Scout stand ins, as ...

Pros: Kinda cute
Cons: Bad acting, poor editing

The Pacifier Starring Vin Diesel, Brad Garrett, Lauren Graham, and Faith Ford February or March 2005 Viewed on DVD, Fullscreen A weak 5 out 10 The Pacifier stars Vin Diesel as Shane Wolf, a Navy Seal who is put on duty to protect children of Julie ...
