      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Vin Diesel parodies his tough guy image for the family audience, but the result is only moderately amusing.

      GIDEON W this movie has a ton of acion in it! i love achin movies! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Holly S coisa horrivel de ver hein Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Michael W This Disney comedy was pretty good. Vin Diesel, Brittany Snow, Max Thieriot, Morgan York, Lauren Graham, Brad Garrett, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The story of the movie was kind of entertaining and a little humorous. It's a goofy story about protecting a family in danger. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. That's only my opinion. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Elvis D Vin Diesel se suma a la lista de estrellas de acción que han decidido participar en comedias con esta película de la casa del ratón. Es una comedia familiar como cualquier otra, pero con el detalle de que vemos a Vin Diesel mostrando su lado dulce. Su personaje es un hombre rudo de acción y es la imagen que tanto caracteriza a Diesel, pero que durante su estancia va pronto revelando su lado más gentil. Se trata de alguien que ha sido soldado por mucho tiempo, pero no tuvo la oportunidad de saber lo que es tener una familia. Su relación con los niños que debe proteger le hacen descubrir eso. Es cierto que aún faltaba más desarrollo, pero la evolución de Shane como figura paterna lo vuelve entrañable. Mientras muchas comedias protagonizadas por estrellas de acción suelen fallar bastante, The Pacifier es una de las pocas excepciones que suelen ser decentes. Es una película con unos buenos gags, Vin Diesel se roba gran parte de la película y es una buena comedia para disfrutar en familia. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Jeffrey M The Pacifier was an amazing movie. It was worse than the movie The Tooth Fairy, but still okay. The Pacifier was funny when it wanted to make a joke, and guess what? I LOVE comedy. The Pacifier also had really good action. What a good movie. I give it a 67%. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Joshua T pacifiers a great movie Elise for me. it's definitely a good kids film as well it definitely has a lot of action and funny scenes. something different to see Vin Diesel play a role like this You're wanting a good funny comedy this is the one for you. at least it makes me and my wife laugh and that's what counts Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media A crass, crude, and overly-familiar comedy. Rated: 1/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep. Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 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. Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News I realize Walt Disney Pictures markets for the family, but is necessary to dumb down the story this much? Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens The Pacifier -- cute and cuddly, mind-numbing, cotton candy guaranteed to pacify everyone in the family. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Though it does have a talented cast with occasionally charming moments, it's still bad, and brainless.
