Movie Reviews of Man of the House
Movie Review: One of the funniest movies this year....
Summary: 5 Stars
Tommy Lee Jones stars as a curmudgeonly Texas Ranger tasked to protect a squad of University of Texas cheerleaders who have witnessed a murder. In order, to do this, Jones must move in with them and become 'the man of the house.' He poses as the girls' cheerleading coach.
Jones not only has to cope with protecting the girls against an unknown assailant, he has to cope with everyday problems: homework not getting done, a crush on the part of one of the cheerleading squad, the squad's determination to work as a team--and do their job for their school and the athletes.
In the process of their association, Jones gets in touch with his softer side and the girls use their teamwork skills to help their guardian out of a jam. "Man of the House" is both uproariously funny and touching at the same time. While it's definitely one of Tommy Lee Jones' more low-budget films, I also think Jones has quite a skill at comedy. Also, look for some of the actresses who played in this film to be in starring roles in future ventures.
Movie Review: CINCO CHICAS FRESAS Y UN AMARGADO!!
Summary: 5 Stars
La primera vez que vi esta pelicula fue en un canal del cable, y desde un principio me moria de la risa; una muy graciosa manera de combinar la cruda vida de un oficial texano con la divertida y despreocupada vida de las chef-leaders; la pelicula no solo es comica, tambien es muy bonita en cuanto a contenido, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a que tanto las chicas aprenden a ser mas serias y reflexivas como el policia tambien aprende a descubrir su lado tierno, a comprender y valorar mas a su propia hija, sobre todo al ver a esta en peligro... La idea central radica en como dos puntos de vista tan diferentes (el de las adolescentes y el del oficial) se encuentran y chocan, repercutiendo uno en el otro y viceversa;al final ambas partes aprenden a entenderse y apreciarse, llegandose a una muy bonita amistad y cooperacion (las chicas ayudan al policia en su peor momento) una muy buena pelicula para verla en familia, sobre todo con hijos adolescentes.Movie Review: Tommy Lee Jones will make you laugh yourself sad
Summary: 5 Stars
IMHO, Tommy Lee Jones has never made a bad film. He's just too talented and has too much of a presence for anything that he's in to fail. I think we should all give thanks for that. If I was going to point out anything negative about TLJ is that he could not act his way out of paper bag.
A paper bag made out of toilet paper.
Single-ply.
I mean, what the shiznit! He plays the exact same role in every movie. The stoic tough guy with an attitude and Wranglers that are a whisper too tight. You know what I'm talking about. My advice to you, Tommy? Get yourself to a community college immediately and take Acting 101, because brother, you can only go up. It's like Tommy, come on! Expand the repetoire a little bit.
Cedric is awesome as the fat guy.
Movie Review: ENTERTAINMENT - ENTERTAINMENT - WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter what Tommy Lee Jones is worth watching.
Blame any short comings on the script writer and director.
This is highly entertaining - a bit silly - and worth the fun it provided.
Cheerleaders? not my cup of tea but hey, it takes all kinds.
Excellently acted when you consider what they went through [the actresses that is].
I also like to see an actor that can come across under all types of movies. These guys [directors etc.] were lucky to get TLJ. His rep. can take all kinds.
Read the other reviews and make up your own mind but see the movie first. Rent it maybe? I have added it to my TLJ collection.
Definitely Recommended for some good fun!
Movie Review: VERY FUNNY AND EXCITING, JUST BECAUSE OF MR. JONES!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tommy Lee Jones is one of the best actors out there today. What makes him so great is his dry humor. He can look and act serious even during the funniest moments, making him the funniest character in most of his films. With "Man of the House," Mr. Jones brings this talent into a new arena: the cheerleader film.
"Man of the House" would be a drab if not for Jones. The girls are funny at times, as is Cedric the Entertainer. But it is Jones, and Jones alone, that makes this film as good as it is.
If you enjoy the works of Tommy Lee Jones, then this film is definitely for you!
