I had not heard of this one. I am not a big fan of Vin Diesel. If it was someone else I would probably see it for sure, but I do not know if I want to see it with him in it. The website I got this summary from gave it 4.9 out of 10 stars.

Plot Summary for
The Pacifier (2005)
The film is the story of an undercover agent who, after failing to protect an important government scientist, learns the man's family is in danger. In an effort to redeem himself, he agrees to take care of the man's children only to discover that child care is his toughest mission yet.

After the kidnapped scientist Lt. Shane Wolfe(Vin Diesel) if attempting to rescue is killed Wolfe is given the duty watching over his five kids who include two teens and young girl a toddler and an infant while their mother travels to Switzerland to retrieve a safe deposit box which could hold the key to finding Ghost, a late scientists invention with the power to use a satalites to take over control of the nuclear missiles of any country. Wolfe has to protect them but also faces the trouble of helping the elder female learn to drive while fighting off her teen angst, helping the elder male open up to people since his father's death and help him to be himself all while managing a girl scout troop and learning to change diapers. Good laugh for a family film and some of the best storylines for it's genre which includes the likes of Kindergarten Cop and Mr Nanny although this stands far and beyond either of those films. Manages to be both funny and touching at different times and flows well enough to keep you interested. This is the first action man in a family setting movie I've seen that even tries to be a good movie instead of trying to create a movie around the odd situation and it pulls it off well.

Needtolose--Thanks--I am sure this movie is more for my hubby and son to enjoy--I will just read a book-and catch piece and parts of the movie.

It looks like it is a comedy, so there should be a few laughs involved.

The last comedy I watched was meet the fockers and my hubby got much more laughs than I did. He is corny like that.

Me and the wife and kids loved the pacifier. As for meet the focker, I must say that I got up and left the room after about half way through it. I liked the first one a whole lot more.
