Movie Reviews of Man of the House
Movie Review: Lighten up, folks, it's a cheerleader movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of Tommy Lee Jones, as I am, this is one to add to your collection of his films. Yes, it's fluff and formulaic, but it's well done. Tommy Lee plays a character he has developed in a lot of other cop films, but he does this character very well. The girls are all pretty and they each contribute to the forward motion of the story one way or another, as do the other characters. I think the director did an excellent job of putting all the elements together and keeping it moving. Tommy Lee adds depth to the father figure/mentor character and brings some deadpan humor as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a formulaic story that departs from the formula in subtle ways. It's surprisingly mature and serious in parts. It's a comedy, but not a laugh-a-minute type. The humor is the kind I like; it's derived from the characters and their interactions, like the interaction between Tommy Lee's character and Robert Duvall's character in "Lonesome Dove". The 'making of' segment of the DVD adds to the enjoyment by showing how the actresses trained to be cheerleaders; they were convincing in their portrayals.
Summary of Man of the House
When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require 'round-the-clock surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way. Cedric the Entertainer joins this spirited cast in a comedy that busts out with high energy, pride, and the joy of a Texas Ranger getting in touch with his feminine side.Similar DVD Movies
