Disney should be embarrassed for releasing something that's degrading like The Pacifier.
The company used to be known for providing wholesome family fun, but this is junk. How can they produce a film that's so
outlandishly racist, stereotypical, and violent?
When I thought Vin Diesel couldn't be that bad of an actor after seeing him in XXX, boy...was I
totally wrong. He's certainly one of the worst I've seen and seriously needs to retire. Vin Diesel, a poster boy for steroids
if I've ever seen one, will make a good trainer for gym rats.
For a kid's film, what's the idea of Vin Diesel showing off his body to little children? Is Disney trying to say that
steroid-ripped bodies are cool? Also, at the same time, violence through guns is perfectly acceptable and the answer
to all problems? That it's okay for boys to taunt girls? That girls should lash out their anger by pummeling boys?
I can't believe the stereotype of Romanian gypsies. Does anyone at Disney have any idea what they went through during the
Holocaust? Another is the use of the words such as "skank" and "balls" in a Disney movie. And so is the display of Nazi
swastikas. It's how far the quality has fallen. What happened to the magic the company used to have?
All in all, Disney lost sight of family values decades ago.
