As the embodiment of today’s extreme action her0, Van diesel has jumped out of speeding planes, skied down sheer cliffs, flipped cars 360 degrees and battled the world’s worst bad guys. But now he takes on his greatest screen challenge to date starring as Shabe Wolfe, a Navy S.E.A.L. whose latest do-or-die mission pulls him into the perilous, adrenaline-charged world of….babysitting. Mixing comic hijink with Diesel’s trademark, no-hold-barred action, the result is a family adventure-comedy about a hard-as-nails warrior who meets his match, and finds his heart, in a family of out-of-control kids.
Diesel redefines the term action hero as he makes his first foray into comedy with “The Pacifier.” Assigned to protect the endangered children of an assassinated scientist working on a secret invention, Shane Wolfe is suddenly faced with juggling two incompatible jobs: fighting evil while keeping house. As he adds his usual arsenal of wetsuits and weapons the new tools of juice boxes and a minivan, Shane not only must defeat a world-threatening enemy but also wrangle teen rebel Zoe (Brittany Snow), uplift sullen 14-year-old Seth (Max Thieriot) and outwit 9-year-old Ninja wannabe LuLu (Morgan York), simultaneously keeping toddler Peter and baby Tyler out of mischief, not to mention harm’s way.
Morgan York, a sixth grade middle schooler who plays LuLu Plummer in the film, talked with the Herald about the new movie. “Van Diesel is trying to save my dad who made a computer chip,” stated York. “It was a fun movie to make. This was Van Diesel’s first comedy and his character was so serious.” While York plays an 8-year-old (her age was upped to nine) she is actually 11-years-old. “I’m small so I can play young roles,” said York who said everyone should get out to see the new movie. (For York’s complete interview see next months Club Herald Newspaper.)
Directed by Adam Shankman (Bringing down the House) and produced by Spyglass Entertaibment’s Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaun and Jonathan Glickman, this new Walt Disney Pictures film is one you won’t want to miss.
