The Pacifier has to be one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. It is more than the typical fish out of water about a Navy SEAL who must babysit five kids because they are vital to national security. He teaches the kids self respect. In the course of the movie, he manages to not only stop the bad guys from hurting the kids but 1) teaches the oldest to drive, 2) directs a school production of The Sound of Music, 3) teaches self defense to a troop of girl scouts, and 4) fall in love of course. Vin Diesel is very good in this movie. Lauren Graham is also good as the school principal and love interest for Diesel. I am not a Gilmore Girls watcher but I think Graham is very appealing in this movie alone and I would like to see more of her. Sure the story doesn't bear much scrutiny, but this movie is just plain fun to watch. 7/10
