- The film is the story of an undercover agent who, after failing to protect an important government scientist, learns the man's family is in danger. In an effort to redeem himself, he agrees to take care of them only to discover that child care is his toughest mission yet.
- Having recovered from wounds received in a failed rescue operation, Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe is handed a new assignment: Protect the five Plummer kids from enemies of their recently deceased father -- a government scientist whose top-secret experiment remains in the kids' house.
- The script makes, through the character Helga, a terrible mistake, and it does it in a vulgar way. It is true that probably 99.99% of the people who saw the movie didn't even realize that.<br/><br/>The script puts a couple of very vulgar Romanian words in the mouth of Helga, the babysitter, but later in the movie it is revealed that the character was a former Miss Czechoslovakia. Romania and Czechoslovakia have absolutely nothing in common, and this is probably the fundamental error in writing those lines. Convinced probably that people from Czechslovakia speak Romanian, the writer must have found someone who knew Romanian or at best thought so, because the two Romanian expressions, besides of being super-vulgar, were used in a wrong manner and incorrect pronunciation.<br/><br/>I have nothing to say about the movie, since I literally shut it off after those lines. Sorry, but Americans still have a long way to find out there are lots of other people in the world but them.
- In 1990, Arnold Schwarzenegger played a tough police officer that is softened up by the love of children in "Kindergarten Cop." It was decent movie that allowed Schwarzenegger to parody the "Terminator" image he had established up to that point. After 14 years, it's time for Disney to recycle that premise and now that Arnie's the governor of California, they've hired Vin Diesel to take his spot.<br/><br/>"The Pacifier" begins with Navy S.E.A.L. Shane Wolfe (Diesel) leading a rescue operation to save the life of an important computer scientist, Howard Plummer. The operation goes wrong, leading to the death of Plummer and disgrace to Wolfe.<br/><br/>Plummer had been working on a computer program that can shut down missile defense systems on demand. The government suspects that the program is inside of a safe deposit box in Europe, so Plummer's wife Julie (Faith Ford) heads there and Wolfe is assigned to protect her five kids.<br/><br/>The five children are: punk-rocker Seth (Max Theriot), frilly drama queen Zoe (Brittany Snow), sweet and occasionally lewd Lulu (Morgan York), rambunctious toddler Peter (twins Keegan and Logan Hoover), and baby Tyler (twins Bo and Luke Vink). In the most usual turn of events, Wolfe doesn't like the disorder of the household and the Plummer children don't like him. Wolfe also clashes with the European nanny.<br/><br/>After the nanny quits, making sure the kids get to school on time and changing the baby's diapers become another of Wolfe's tasks. Wolfe uses his military training and know-how to instill some discipline on the children. In return, the kids teach him a thing or two about life.<br/><br/>Lauren Graham plays the role of school principal and former naval officer, providing Wolfe with a love interest. I guess "Gilmore Girls" wasn't doing enough for her career.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the movie is not much better than the lame plot. Writers Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant, who brought us the Jimmy Fallon bomb "Taxi", must have thought of as many clichés as they could to stuff into this film. I guess they thought including a duck that acts like an attack dog would cover the originality aspect.<br/><br/>Director Adam Shankman ("Bringing Down the House") doesn't bring anything to the mix either. The situations that are put on screen are occasionally funny, such as one involving Lulu and her girl scout friends beating up malevolent boy scouts using some newly acquired Karate skills. However, most scenes that could have had these kinds of laughs fall short.<br/><br/>The acting in the film is mediocre at best. I think Diesel might be better than the material. (I actually thought he did a decent job in "The Chronicles of Riddick.") The kids aren't too bad either. York, playing Lulu, delivers a small punch in her lovable role.<br/><br/>"The Pacifer" is one of those movies that anyone over the age of nine will feel insulted after watching it. Just because a movie is intended for a family audience doesn't mean it has to stink like a baby's diaper.
- Is it funny? Not for a minute.
- In order to obtain the PG rating in Britain, the word "spaz" has been replaced by "jerk" in one sentence. a5c7b9f00b
