Chicago Sun-Times In "The Pacifier," Vin Diesel follows in the footsteps of those Arnold Schwarzenegger comedies where the muscular hero becomes a girly-man. Diesel doesn't go to the lengths of Schwarzenegger in "Junior," where Arnold was actually pregnant, but he does become a baby-sitter, going where no Navy Seal has gone before. Roger Ebert

Reelviews Pacifiers are for infants. The same is true of The Pacifier. In fact, "infantile" may be the best single word to describe this Kindergarten Cop wannabe. Vin Diesel is better than the material, but, no matter how hard he tries, he can't rise above the puerile screenplay credited to Thomas Lennon & Robert Ben Garant. James Berardinelli

The Boston Globe ''The Pacifier" is to Vin Diesel exactly as ''Kindergarten Cop" was to Arnold Schwarzenegger: an attempt to sand the sharp edges off a movie tough guy and show he can play cute with the kids. Fine, but since Diesel is already a B-movie version of Arnold, and since the movie plays like it was cobbled together from sheetrock and carpet tacks, this makes ''The Pacifier" just worth your children's time, and hardly worth yours. Ty Burr

San Francisco Chronicle Every big-muscled actor has to make a kiddie comedy eventually, just as he must govern a West Coast state someday. It's all part of being a well- rounded action hero. Carla Meyer
