CommentsXp Best movie ever!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
stormhawk2018 Let this serve as an example for an actor who does not have to do anything in this kind of roles. I was really surprised to see Vin Diesel trying to bring this movie to a good end, and I still do not understand why it was Vin who ventured into this project, maybe they offered him a lot of money or what I know, but this is Definitely a setback in his career. If in "XXX" Vin Diesel promised something interesting because of his physique, here, it really is a flop.The discourse here is to entertain with the gap between a main character with certain physical characteristics and the environment in which he lives. Then we find the variants that point directly to all situations embodied in the tape are funny by the mere fact of seeing a lord of voluptuous physical surrounded and charged with watching over children and adolescents. Undoubtedly this proposal was seen and too similar in another film that had as protagonist Arnold Schwarzenegger ("Kindergarten Cop", 1990). But beyond that, the film is not overwhelming from any point of view from the humorous aspect, nor from mere entertainment. Of course we should not look for messages or morals to this series of nonsenses that constitutes "The Pacifier".A film with forced plot, which highlights a military education as a narrative methodology, which has nothing to do with the childhood pastime that in definitive constitutes this failed proposal.
Shopaholic35 This movie deserves a much better rating than it has received. So what if it is clichéd and has your typical bad ass turn nice guy storyline. It works and it truly is rather funny and entertaining. Vin Diesel does a great job at playing an endearing tough guy who eventually realises what is really important in life. He melts your heart as he proves he would do anything for his newly adopted family. Meanwhile, the kids are fantastic, especially Morgan York as the adorable precocious Lulu, but they all manage to keep you engaged in the movie. It really is a good cast.This movie is supposed to be family friendly with a little slapstick humour, some kick-ass action and a whole lot of heart. It delivers and proves to be a fun and entertaining film. Give it a shot if your looking for a family movie night film or your just in the mood for an easy to watch comedy.
Jackson Booth-Millard I probably saw a trailer or two for this film during its cinema release time, and naturally I thought it looked terrible, but I watched to confirm that, from director Adam Shankman (The Wedding Planner, A Walk to Remember, Bedtime Stories). Basically Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) is the highly trained and expert US Navy Seal who causes the accidental failure of a mission, and to make up for it he is set to be an uncover agent. The man involved in the failed mission, Howard Plummer (Tate Donovan), was killed in action, and his family are now in danger as the enemy is looking for the details of a secret project called GHOST, which he has in a safe deposit box. So Shane's mission is to look after the family, but the widowed mother Julie (Faith Ford) is out of the house a lot, leaving him on his own to keep an eye on the five children: Zoe (Brittany Snow), Seth (Max Thieriot), Lulu (Morgan York), Peter (twins Logan and Keegan Hoover), and Baby Tyler (twins Bo and Luke Vink). For a long while Shane finds it very hard to cope with the needs of the youths in the house, and he tries to lay down the rules like he would in the Navy, but it does not all seem to sink in with the troublesome kids. Slowly though they do learn to behave a bit more, and they start to like their "babysitter", and there only comes the low point when his time is coming to an end and the danger is possibly lessened. Of course the danger is not over, the family are tied up and gagged while the bad guys, including Shane's own commander Capt. Bill Fawcett (Chris Potter), look for the safe deposit box containing the GHOST details, but Shane saves the day, stops them, he kisses his love interest, Principal Claire Fletcher (Evan Almighty's Lauren Graham), and Shane says his goodbyes, but not before seeing a family play. Also starring Carol Kane as Helga and A Bug's Life's Brad Garrett as Vice Principal Dwayne Murney. This was not long after the awful film The Chronicles of Riddick, so Diesel was trying to cash in on the younger audience market, and unfortunately he does not completely pull it off, it is pretty much a mix of Daddy Day Care and Man of the House, only with a trained professional, and less but naturally irritating children, it is not very original, it is not very funny, and it is hardly worth watching at all, a silly family action comedy. Adequate!
tashadeans This was my favourite film when I was a young girl . Hilarious and entertaining . I remember going to see this film in 2005, I was about eight or nine and I nearly fell off my seat laughing. It's a great film to watch with your family . It is still one of my favourite comedies. I would recommend it to people of all ages . I must watch it again sometime. I haven't watched in about 5 or 6 years . The cast is brilliant couldn't have picked better . I would rate this film 10/10 100%. I loved it very much brings back many memories with my mother and I laughing our heads off . Good times , good times . If you haven't see this film rent or buy a.s.a.p especially if you are a big fan of comedy .
