The Shaggy Dog/The Pacifier DVD – Kristin Davis, Faith Ford

The Shaggy Dog (Dir. Brian Robbins) (2006): Tim Allen transforms from family dad to family dog and back again in this fresh update of the Disney comedy classic. It all begins when workaholic D.A. Dave Douglas (Allen) takes on a case involving an animal laboratory – one that will take him away yet again from his wife (Davis) and kids who already yearn for his all too distracted attention. But when Dave is accidentally infected with a top secret genetic-mutation serum everything he thought he knew about being himself and his family changes. Yet with his newly perked up ears and his front row seat on the household carpet Dave is able to gain a whole new perspective into his family’s secrets and dreams. Now he wants nothing more than to stop fetching and return to fathering – only first he’ll have to stop the evil forces behind the serum…in an adventure that will bring the whole family together. The Pacifier (Dir. Adam Shankman) (2005): Vin Diesel stars as Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe who as an elite member of the world’s fiercest and most highly trained force thought he was prepared to take on any duty no matter how perilous or impossible… until he tried baby-sitting. Assigned to protect the five out-of-control children of an assassinated scientist working on vital government secrets Shane is suddenly faced with juggling two outrageously incompatible jobs: fighting the bad guys while keeping house. Replacing his usual arsenal of wetsuits and weapons with diapers and juice boxes Shane not only must battle a deceptive enemy but wrangle teen rebel Zoe (Brittany Snow) sullen 14 year-old Seth (Max Theriot) 8 year-old Ninja-wanna-be Lulu (Morgan York) as well as 3 year-old Peter and baby Tyler – not to mention their off-beat Romanian nanny (Carol Kane). But while drop zones demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering den-mothering and driver’s education. He’s truly a SEAL out of water and now it’s up to this one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his life: keeping a family together!
