CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	5	The premise is promising, but somehow the movie never really takes off.
Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington	4	...cheerful but mind-numbing.
E!	6	...The Pacifier provides passable, albeit predictable, family fare sure to please the kids without forcing their adult counterparts to whine like babies.
filmcritic.com Pete Croatto	6	...it's one of the biggest surprises in this early movie year -- and a possible career rejuvenator for Diesel.
New York Post Lou Lumenick	3	Talk about sucking.
TV Guide Angel Cohn	4	Anyone expecting more than formulaic pabulum will feel a temper tantrum coming on.
Slant Magazine Nick Schager	3	...deflates into desperate gags in which a puking baby and a pants-less toddler are offered up as the apex of kiddie humor.
Rolling Stone Peter Travers	3	It just plain sucks.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman	4	...a yawn-by-numbers romper-room dud...
New York Times Ned Martel	6	...chipper and occasionally clever...
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas	7	...a picture that has sufficient mayhem to please Diesel's action fans while allowing the star to reach out to family audiences.
Village Voice Laura Sinagra	2	...an unintentional fascist satire.
Onion AV Club Nathan Rabin	2	...a DOA retread of Kindergarten Cop...
Premiere Peter Debruge	3	...a cookie-cutter Navy-S.E.A.L.-as-babysitter comedy...

Entertaining. Nothing special though.

Ashtura 4

No action, plus the female army woman at the end does nothing, but pulls the Korean's arm and then says, "couldn't let you have all fun..." what kind of retarted fun is pulling a guys arm, unless she has some sexual fantasies.

Oracle 0

If there would be something lower than 0, I would give it to this retarded movie. Its like a virus. STAY AWAY FROM IT. vin deasel simply does not work as a babystitter nor as an actor at all.

Letter grade: Below an F
