Pacifier The [DVD]

Description

In THE PACIFIER Vin Diesel is great as a navy seal turned babysitter in this kid-friendly action comedy. A botched rescue mission (brimming with stunts) results in the death of a scientist and the hospitalization of seal team-leader Shane Wolf. Once he recovers he is assigned to duty as a bodyguard for the dead mans family. But even for a seal–toughened to the point of stoniness–dealing with the chaos smells noises and complexities of a large fatherless family proves to be a heavy challenge. The kids dont like his authoritative ways and they have no problem defying him at every turn. Eventually everybody bonds and while the family teaches him to listen and relax he teaches them the combat skills they need to succeed in suburban Los Angeles. Its all very funny but the film really works best as a showcase for the range of Diesel he takes his pratfalls in stride his characters devotion to military discipline and honour is inspiring and his bonding with the family is sweet without being saccharine. Whats more he still gets the chance to kick some serious bad-guy butt. Lauren Graham (BAD SANTA) plays the kindly grade school principal and love interest. EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMONDs Brad Garrett is hilarious as a sadistic wrestling coach. Theres also a crotch-biting pet duck ninjas sewer-diving a troop of kung fu-fighting girl scouts and the hilarious panda dance.
