Editorial Review:
BY-THE-BOOK TEXAS RANGER, ROLAND SHARP, TRACKS DOWN A KEY INFORMANT WITH THE HELP OF A STREETWISE PREACHER. BUT WHEN THEINFORMANT IS ELIMINATED, SHARP IS ASSIGNED TO PROTECT THE ONLYWITNESSES TO THE CRIME - A GROUP OF UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS CHEERLEADERS - BY GOING UNDERCOVER & MOVING IN WITH 5 COEDS.

Description of Man of the House [UMD for PSP]:
Let's face it, sometimes you just want to watch some fluff. The ever-expanding subgenre of cheerleader cinema offers dependable fluff, of which Man of the House is a shiny, frivolous example. After a multiethnic cheerleading squad witnesses a mob execution, Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive, Men in Black) is assigned to protect them. That's all you need to know--a formulaic plot follows, but the filmmakers recognizes that the formula is known by all so they doesn't waste time with unnecessary exposition. Instead, we go straight to amusing scenes of Sharp teaching the unruly (and scantily clad) girls some discipline and the girls teaching Sharp to loosen up and forge a better relationship with his estranged daughter. It's a one-joke movie, but thanks to Jones' leathery hound-dog face and cowpoke gravitas, the contrast between the girls and Sharp keeps being funny. Of its kind, Man of the House isn't in the same league as Bring It On (pretty much the ne plus ultra of cheerleader movies), but it's head and shoulders over the likes of Sugar & Spice. Also featuring Cedric the Entertainer (Barbershop), Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction), and R. Lee Ermey(Full Metal Jacket). --Bret Fetzer

Man of the House
2009-11-06 - I like Tommy Lee Jones, I know the pundits panned the movie as poor, but I find it funny and serious parts. Being a Texas ranger (Jones) and having to protect college cheerleaders from a bad guy and pretending to be their coach is funny, but the girls and Jones come around to understand each other and the girls help save his daughter in the end shows that they are made of the right stuff.

A movie of substance??? GET REAL!!!
2009-02-11 - i enjoy amazon's rating system usually. every now and then though, an item that is truly bad gets nice/good reviews. i honestly do not understand how anyone could enjoy watching this movie. the plot is bad, the acting is worse, the laughs are boring, and it is all quite predictable. perhaps if you were a 12 year old. shame on Tommy Lee Jones for taking this role. if you like his acting, do yourself a favor and skip this garbage of a movie.
the fact that it has the same rating as Steven Soderberg's movie Traffic leaves me scratching my head.

2008-09-26 - What was Tommy Lee thinking? This was probably one of the most awful things I've sat through in a while. And only because it was on TV and there was nothing to watch. It was just terribly stupid from beginning to end, completely full of every cliché you can think of. It was NOT funny, you can't even call this a mystery since we know who the bad guy is like ten minutes into the film. What is the point??

Great Entertainment
2008-08-10 - I love Tommy Lee Jones, but this comedy with him is the best. I will
watch this movie again, and again.
