The Pacifier Movie Review

It's the story of NAVY SEAL Shane Wolf (Vin Diesel) who's working on an assignment to protect the kids of a recent killed scientist, whose secret experiment it's somewhere in the house, and so the bad guys are going to try to get it. A simple, not relevant story that doesn't hurt the movie at all. What matters are the funny situations the kids get Vin Diesel into, and they are funny.

It mostly revolves around the school, where the two teens, Zoe (Brittany Snow) and Seth (Max Thieriot) are having problems at school, with her coping with her father's death and the classic school jocks making him miserable.

We then have middle schooler Lulu (Morgan York) who's having problems with her Girl Scouts, and finally Peter and the nameless Baby who don't actually have any problems at all other than needing help to go to sleep or having their diapers changed.

Morgan York was my favorite of the kids. She has the funniest and most fun scenes, as well as the better chemistry with Vin Diesel. Brittany Snow started kind of annoying but she then had an awesome crying scene that was truly great.

Vin Diesel himself was great too, funny and also serious and touching when needed.

Brad Garrett plays the school's Vice Principal and he's got some very funny parts as Vin Diesel's nemesis (in the not serious part of the movie). Lauren Graham plays the school Principal and Vin Diesel's love interest and she's great too.

I have to say I was not expecting this at all, I was even trashing the movie before I got into the theatre, but the performances were all good, the comedy was all good (with some very funny stuff happening at all times in the background) and it all made for a really great family movie.
