Movie Reviews of The Pacifier (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: One of Vin Diesel's better films.
Summary: 5 Stars
I cant believe I just said, but it true-and I am 19 years old. To be honest, I am not a huge of Vin. The only action flick of his I enjoyed was the first Fast and The Furious (and I did not think that was great- Just Good). And I never cared much for everything else that followed- xXx, A Man Apart, Knockaround Guys, or Chronicles of Riddick. So I had pretty much viewed every film he was in to sort of be the same thing- Some adrenaline feuled action movie soley aim for guys. However, when I first trailer for this movie, I knew I had to see it. Its was VIN DIESEL in a DISNEY MOVIE. Howver, I did not hear much good stuff about it, so I missed it in theaters.
But of course I would catch it on DVD some time later and I very much enjoyed. I found myself laughing throughout the movie. So far, this is the only Vin movie I am considedring to buy no matter how many times I have seen it. Here is the plot.
Shane Wolf (Vin) is a disgraced navy seal after having failed to rescue a Professor who was creating a military program called "Ghost" which many terrorists want their hands on. His next assignment is rather simple- keep the professor's children while there mom is out of town helping the army obtain "Ghost". The kids are Zoe (Brittany Snow), Seth (Max Theriot), Lulu (Morgan York), and toddlers Tyler and Peter. However, these kids have a problem with authority and they seem to defy him at any chance they get. It seems that Shane's high discplinary skills are no match for a group of kids. However, they eventually all realize they may need to be depend on each other when the danger. Shane starts to deeply understand these kids and the troubles they are going through, while the kids give him a lesson on how to live a normal suburbian life.
All in all, Pacifier was a very enjoyable film. Howver, my only problem in the film was actually Vin himself. I know he was the real selling point of the movie (and proboboly why the movie made $100 million +) but I did not find him to be funny even he when he so desperatly tries. The only scene he made me laugh was this part where bologne falls on his shirt and he says angerly "This is my favorite shirt". I believe the kids were the real stars of the movie. They were really and made me laugh alot. Pretty everyone except Vin was funny ESPECIALLY Brad Garret as the sadistic wrestling coach. He was hilarious. Overall though, I think I would choose the Pacifier over any one of Vin's action movies any time.
Summary of The Pacifier (Widescreen Edition)
Walt Disney Pictures presents action hero Vin Diesel (XXX, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) in a fast-paced comedy smash from the director of BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE! Lt. Shane Wolfe (Diesel) is a tough-as-nails Navy S.E.A.L. who has controlled military operations in every corner of the globe. Now the ultimate test comes when he's assigned to protect the home front ... as in a house loaded with five out-of-control kids! But even when he trades combat gear for diapers and juice boxes, it's not just a babysitting job -- it's an adventure!Vin Diesel is game to soften his tough-guy image in The Pacifier, in which he plays hot-shot Navy S.E.A.L. Shane Wolfe, whose latest mission goes awry when the scientist he's sent to rescue is popped off before he can tell Wolfe where he's hidden some Top Secret software something-or-other. Before you can say Kindergarten Cop, Wolfe is assigned guard duty at the scientist's family home, where he's left with some unruly kids when the widow (Faith Ford) takes off to Switzerland to claim her hubby's safety deposit box under the guidance of Wolfe's superior officer. The trouble with this paint-by-numbers fish-out-of-water kiddie comedy is that Diesel himself is a fish out of water in the movie--he's no comic and is far funnier when he's unintentionally spoofing macho heroics in The Chronicles of Riddick. The film limply throws everything it can at you, including the idea of Wolfe directing a community theater production of The Sound of Music, but is just biding its time until the predictable action climax and hugs-all-around denouement. Vin doesn't look embarrassed, but the supporting cast sure does, especially Everybody Loves Raymond's Brad Garrett as a bombastic vice principal and Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham as Garrett's boss and Diesel's sudden love interest.--Steve Wiecking
