(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 18% Rotten Page   1   0.5/4 "I realize this is The Pacifier and not Vera Drake, but how this film strains credulity smacks of contempt for a paying audience"   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers D- "Maybe it’s a good thing the film is nearly a complete wreck, because it does provide a strong reminder just how much care and effort went into Kindergarten Cop."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "As new kids movie star Ice Cube takes over Vin Diesel's XXX role, the once promising star of the Riddick franchise here descends into a horrific holding pattern."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "It's like 'The School of Rock,' only it's not funny."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...perfect for less-discriminating viewers, and those who just want a 98-minute respite from using their brain."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1/4 "A lame-as-lame-can-be bust."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D- "The Pacifier marks Vin Diesel's official descent into oblivion."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "Vin Diesel reports to diaper duty in the charmingly dippy Disney flick The Pacifier. Diesel’s willingness to appear foolish lends this movie its offbeat appeal"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Harmless, though mediocre, live-action family fare...likely to strike even the small fry as covering awfully familiar territory."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Vin Diesel is better than the material, but, no matter how hard he tries, he can't rise above the puerile screenplay."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1/4 "Embarrassingly true to form."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 3/10 "Recycled material through and through, and what it offers in the affability of its star is countered with a mean streak of humiliation passed off as humor."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "The Pacifier is typically Disney: non-offensive to the point of banality."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 1/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "a nice, safe family film"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr D+ "Diesel has fun puncturing his movie persona in The Pacifier. If only this film weren’t so dopey."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[B]rought me... to a low during which I was actually calculating the precise moment in which [this] crossed the line into categorical awfulness..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/4 "Sheer boredom, unless you're under the age of 7."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2/4 "The Pacifier is what you would politely call “product.” It is manufactured according to a specific formula – one that is familiar, comforting, and non-threatening."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "Crude humor, weirdly homophobic insults, uncomfortably stereotyped bad guys, and a plot twist involving a swastika that the target age group won't understand or relate to. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "Before parodying your action superstar image, don’t you first have to be an action superstar?"   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Jamais pensei que diria algo assim, mas confesso que, pela primeira vez na vida, senti saudades de Hulk Hogan. Pelo menos ele tem um bigode engraçado."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "For what it is--lazily written fluff--the film's extremely entertaining."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "Just funny enough to recommend and it has a lot of heart."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 1/5 "Frankly, to call The Pacifier a "cookie cutter" movie is an insult to the folks who actually make cookie cutters."   DVD Clinic   Scott Weinberg D "The tinny dialogue of the clumsy screenplay stumbles over the simplest moments of exposition and revelation and Adam Shankman's anonymous direction is plodding at best..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker C+ "Family-man Vin actually runs a gamut of emotions, expressing four different facial expressions throughout Pacifier, which is three more than I expected."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Sean O'Connell 2/10 "Even the most basic sit-com slapstick needs a story!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 18% Rotten Page   1
