My kids (ages 7-10) and I enjoyed this movie. It was a bit unrealistic & farfetched in some parts, which can sometimes give the wrong impression to kids - eg when 2 martial art "ninjas" broke into the home when all the kids were home and Vin Diesel knocked them around over & over, with the younger daughter (maybe 9?) helping by handing him a broom to fight with. I didn't like giving kids the impression that a home break-in by thugs was "funny" or "exciting" in any way and that they should come out & help! I liked the way the kids were portrayed as somewhat typical, if a bit disrespectful; it worked for this movie bc Vin Diesel came in & insisted they follow rules no matter the kids' desires, and bc the kids finally realized he was right & he was setting those rules for their best interest. At the same time that he was a tough disciplinarian making them follow rules & do chores etc (which they obviously weren't used to) , they showed him as being compassionate & caring, spending lots of time working with the kids on things the kids cared about. I wasn't crazy about a part in the first third of the film, where they show a scene with the teenage girl's boyfriend trying to climb up to her 2nd story window -- but in context it worked out okay bc it shows him being "caught" & scared off (by Vin Diesel who thinks he is an intruder). In the last few minutes of the film there is a kissing scene, which is easy to skip past. The storyline is a bit scary bc it's all about a secret agent who is killed by people who are after software he created, and those people are still after it, putting the man's wife & children at risk. Younger kids will enjoy the fun scenes, while the scarier stuff will be above their heads; older kids may understand the scary storyline but hopefully will understand the fictional nature, plus that this was about a "secret agent" which would separate this from most kids' daily lives.

Nothing good about it, I have noticed that all action heroes make a family movie, Gerard butler (Nim's island), the guy from scorpian king (game plan), Arnold Swartzenagger (kindergarden cop), and jackie chan's new family comedy has been anounced. The Arnold swarrtzenager ones are good but not the others.

This movie is Very funny and a little sad! It will make you laugh!

(this is our nanny, Lidia: good messages. the 3 children really liked it.

My 11 and 9 year old enjoyed this movie but my 7 year old got a little bored. Maybe it was predictable but with a new twist and new faces. Enough action scenes and tender moments to entertain boys and girls over 8. Nice to see Vin Diesal do a "family friendly" movie. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable outing with my kids on a saturday afternoon!

the pacifier was such a good movie, i saw it with my friends meghan, joey, and nicky. It was very funny, interesting. I laughed. I also loved the peter pan dance wich the mjor person in the movie useses to get a secret code thing. I would recomend this movie to everyone. dont listen to the other people that say the movie stinks cause it was great!

This is getting panned by critics for being a "formula" movie...well, I for one appreciate it for what it is: A nice, fun, family movie. When taking my kids to the movies, I don't need heavy plot and drama. They like the corny jokes, and quite frankly I thought they were funny too. It is sweet to see big Vin Diesel soften for these kids. The corny plot isn't a drawback - it simply makes a story that the kids can easily follow. We all loved it!

I would not let your kid watch this until they are at least 10 years of age in this movie Vin Deasel is hit in the crotch numerouse times (once a man is bitten in the crotch by a duck) and it is very violent for a PG

The Pacifier was nothing special, but a fun comedy. There's not much violence, and the language isn't too bad, either. I would only recommend this movie if you are 8+ years old. Some of the jokes and funny parts are kind of corny.
