Like a pacifier, this sucks.
If thought that joke was corny, just imagine how corny and lame the film is.
Vinny, man, even you are better than this sir.

I laugh so hard every time I watch this film. There's something very comic in seeing Vin Diesel taking care of kids.
Definitely a 5 star of it's genre.

Haven't seen this in years and it probably sucks. But it's a childhood favorite.

Habe ich mir “Der Babynator” damals auf Grund des eher unspektakulären Trailers im Kino geschenkt, gefiel er mir nach Sichtung im Premiere-Programm überraschend gut. Vin Diesel kann wirklich auch im Komödienbereich punkten und während des Films für einige Lacher sorgen.

When you come right down to it, I don’t really know which I hate more: movies starring Vin Diesel or low-grade family comedies that children enjoy and the adults that brought them suffer through. The Pacifier manages to combine both into a single stink-tastic package of awful . . . and it’s not even a movie that hasn’t already been made a few dozen times.
