After muddling through the series of increasingly goofy special features on Disney’s “The Pacifier,” I was left with one nagging question: Did this movie really need a commentary track?

The answer, in case you haven’t guessed, is no. This movie – which, like the main character played by star Vin Diesel, will probably act as a babysitter for many children on summer break – could have gotten by with no extras at all. Some films, this one included, are so basic that padding their DVDs with supplemental material seems foolish, as if the studio is trying to give the release a level of depth it sorely lacks. Frankly, I could barely sit through all 96 minutes of this lame family-movie-meets-action-flick. The last thing I needed were deleted scenes.

But that’s just me. “The Pacifier” ranks as one of the top-grossing movies of 2005 so far, raking in $111 million at the box office. Someone must like the idea of watching Diesel, who plays a Navy SEAL assigned to protect the children of a deceased government scientist, struggle with diaper changes and pet ducks. (At least one film critic does. His review – “Vin Diesel’s Best Movie Ever!” – is blurbed on the DVD’s box. Guess he never saw “Saving Private Ryan.”)

For “Pacifier” fans, the five deleted scenes will undoubtedly be a delight. The two-minute blooper reel? A nonstop hoot. The featurette on how Diesel is a super-nice guy? Heartwarming. And the commentary track by director Adam Shankman and co-writers Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant? An insightful analysis of a memorable motion picture.

Best Bonus: Thankfully, there’s no lengthy behind-the-scenes documentary. I don’t think I could have stomached “Diesel’s Fuel: How ‘The Pacifier’ Came to the Big Screen.”
