The Pacifier
“Welcome to the infantry.”
Director
Adam Shankman
Screenplay
Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon
Vin Diesel plays against type as a hulking Navy SEAL assigned to protect five unruly children after their government-scientist father is murdered and his top-secret research goes missing somewhere in their suburban home. Director Adam Shankman mines broad physical comedy from the mismatch between Diesel's stone-faced military discipline and the chaos of ballet recitals, sibling rivalry and a militant school principal. Critically savaged as formulaic family comedy, it was nonetheless a commercial success that briefly repositioned Diesel as a family-friendly leading man between action franchise entries.
