Nigel Floyd
Per its title, The Pacifier will lull you to sleep.
Nathan Rabin
At one point, Diesel literally wades into a rancid sewer and emerges covered in feces, an image that sadly doubles as a metaphor for his career.
Peter Travers
There is no pleasure, guilty or otherwise, to be found in The Pacifier.
Laura Sinagra
[An] unintentional fascist satire.
Owen Gleiberman
A yawn-by-numbers romper-room dud that is nevertheless shrewd enough to tweak its star, Vin Diesel, for becoming a joke in less time than it took him to become an action hero.
Richard Roeper
It's so awful. This reminds me, every once in a while on television they'll show failed sitcom pilots that never got picked up by the networks, and this has the feel of something like that.

Of course it's a PG movie, but do family audiences deserve stupid and trite stories?
